Review of What About Bob? (1991) by Ben C — 08 Jul 2011
I caught this movie on HBO and had to DVR it. It is probably one of my favorite comedies of the 90's and it is a great showcase for both Bill Murray's and Richard Dreyfuss' comedic talents.
Bill Murray plays a more neurotic version of himself named Bob. He's a guy who has a whole bunch of OCDs and phobias that are getting in the way of his life. Richard Dreyfuss plays Dr. Leo Marvin who starts to give him therapy but slowly becomes unhinged as Bob shows up everywhere in Dr.
Leo's life, including his vacation. The comedy comes from Dr. Leo's 'unhinging' and all the ways he tries to get rid of Bob. But Bob endears himself to the family...which makes Dr. Leo even more upset.
I've seen this movie quite a few times and I will say that it never grows old. If you're a Bill Murray fan or have yet to discover how funny he is, def put this on your Netflix list. And Richard Dreyfuss is surprisingly just as funny (if not more so) than his comedic counterpart.
Highly recommended.
