What About Bob?

Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss star in this hilarious brain-teaser about a patient who suffers acute separation anxiety when his psychiatrist goes on vacation.

Murray, with his curious blend of pathos and aggressiveness, is terrific, and so is an acutely uptight Dreyfuss, never once copping a plea for our sympathy.

Actors Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss provide the frenzied fun that highlights What About Bob? a wacky slapstick comedy.

Bill Murray's manic performance is the main selling point of this mildly amusing farce about a psychiatrist with a patient who literally drives him crazy

But there's still Murray, who drives the idea further than it has any right to go. He energizes the loony schtick of the opening scenes. [17 May 1991]

Murray is very funny in the early going when his irritation-shtick is allowed full play; when he turns doughily benign in the late going, he's much less interesting. [17 May 1991]

It's a bomb - not the usual bomb, but a time bomb, despite a 20-minute stretch at the beginning that goes along nicely. [17 May 1991]

Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss are the best reason to watch this film because even though is funny it wasn't a huge comedy.

What About Bob is a brilliant and funny comedy showing one of the better films including Bill Murray. It was funny and I did laugh, however I was laughing in more of a silly way.

Great crash out from Dreyfuss and Murray keeps the energy high even if the plot gets a little repetitive and not much happens overall.

What About Bob? is a funny little comedy that does not try to do too much and is largely successful thanks to the great performance from Bill Murray. The comedy works for the most part and it is easy to watch and enjoy due to how light it is. The script is also pretty good and the characters are well-written. There is not too much going on here that differentiates it from other odd couple comedies, so there is not too much to say about this one that has not been said for plenty of other movies. Richard Dreyfuss is fine, though I do wish his character was not so over the top. He plays a good counter to Murray, but his character overdoes is a bit for my liking. The ending is also not very good and is very, very over the top. The whole film is a little odd and unrealistic, but the ending takes it to a whole 'nother level, which is way too much for my liking. The film as a whole is pretty easy watching and not to be taken too seriously, so it is hard to get mad at it, especially since Murray is so great here.

What About Bob is just not funny did not even laugh one time. What About Bob has good acting and that's about it. What About Bob is a overrated comedy.
