Compare Prices on What About Bob?
Masterfully directed by Frank Oz, this comedy is one of the brightest spots in a long line of tasteless 90’s comedies. In an era where comedies are dominated by sex, crudity, and unpleasant language, “What About Bob? ” is a breath of unique air. The comedy is a harmless and sinless masterpiece of irony with chuckles. The head-scratching, laugh-at-loud compulsive mannerisms combined with symptoms of paranoia from patient Bob Wiley (B. Murray) pushes this film to the top of elegant comedies. Bob has issues. Bob is terrorized to touch things without a handkerchief. Bob is petrified of crowds. Bob has fears of his bladder exploding. Bob is troubled of anything and everything outside his apartment. But Bob finds hope in a recent and famed psychiatrist named Dr. Leo Marvin (R. Dreyfuss) . Dr. Marvin is at the pinacole of his career with his novel best selling help-book that has earned him fame. When Dr. Marvin takes Bob on as his client, he has no concept what he’s getting himself into.
Bob goes bananas when his recent doctor, Leo Marvin, decides to go on vacation and will not be available to treat Bob for a whole month. Desperate for his doctor, Bob tracks Dr. Marvin down. The relaxing Leo Marvin has his vacation interrupted and imposed upon by a friend-seeking Bob Wiley, who wants to relish Dr. Marvin’s vacation time with him. Dr. Marvin, vexed by Bob’s behavior, is unable to convince Bob to leave. Before Dr. Marvin can launch to realize that Bob has latched onto him, Bob is aleady befriending Dr. Marvin’s entire household; which includes his wife (J. Hagerty) and son (C. Korsmo) and daughter. Resentment and jealousy become evident in Dr. Marvin as his growing frustration with Bob intensifies. As Bob grows more celebrated with everyone, Dr. Marvin sinks into a place of irrational hatred toward his novel patient. Eventually Bob shows evidence of progress as Dr. Marvin displays signs of regress.

Even though the movie is a tall comedy, it is truly a psychology film. It takes a neurotic, crazy man–Bob Wiley–and puts him into a setting he doesn’t belong in, and he improves. On the flip side it takes a successful, sane man–Dr. Marvin–and places him into situations he doesn’t want, and he deteriorates. The irony is the patient becomes sane as the doctor turns insane. It’s a very clever conception by Oz and it should be applauded, because it makes the movie very laughable.
No doubt that the film succeeds in its laughable aim and ironic formulas, while sending a certain message that it’s all legal not to be entirely sane and serious. Bob Wiley is the perfect, likeable looney while Dr. Marvin is the serious stiff that we all want to leer lighten up a tad.
The movie is rated “PG,” with hardly any offensive elements. There is no sex, no nudity, no violence (although hints of killing is mentioned), and serene language. A joke that Bob tells has a gross reference, but it’s nothing to shutter from. The film is quite shipshape in an age of film-making that has been anything but.
In summary, “What About Bob? ” is the perfect family comedy. It is light-hearted, beneficial, and humorous for everyone. If any criticism could be applied is that it is simply not long enough and goes by too lickety-split. To say the least, it’s a gem salubrious of praise and laughs.

Funny, laughable,droll! I laughed all the arrangement through this movie! The chemistry between annoying but lovable patient “Bob,” (Bill Murray), and the extremely uptight Dr. Leo Marvin, (Richard Dryfuss), is pure perfection! The writing is reliable, as is the casting. This movie is a classic; one you can leer over and over and over - and unexcited catch the line: “There are two types of people in the world - those who LIKE Neil Diamond, and those who don’t” as hysterical as the very first time you heard it! (I honest wish this movie would approach out on DVD)!
