Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

WasAnnon Slow pace in the most part of the movie.

Blucher One of the worst movies I've ever seen

Married Baby Just intense enough to provide a much-needed diversion, just lightweight enough to make you forget about it soon after it’s over. It’s not exactly “good,” per se, but it does what it sets out to do in terms of putting us on edge, which makes it … successful?

atlasmb Bob (Bill Murray) is a lovable, narcissistic, neurotic whose neediness intrudes on the family vacation of his therapist, Dr. Leo Marvin (Richard Dreyfuss). Other people seem to get along with Bob, but Dr. Marvin finds Bob to be a distraction and an annoyance to his usually well-organized life.The entire cast is wonderful. And Julie Hagerty, who plays Leo's wife Fay, is perfect as the soft-spoken spouse who only sees the good in Bob.The script is very well written. It offers moments of hilarity and moments that touch the heart. It also does a great job of balancing the emotional paths of Bob and Leo throughout the film.This film and "Groundhog Day" make Murray one of the best comedic actors of his time.

mark.waltz Today, it's not considered polite (or "politically correct") to use the term crazy, but call Bob what he is, and that is nuts. Not in a Glenn Close "Fatal Attraction" way), but a off the beam, funny, lovable, pain in the butt nuts. Bill Murray continues his run of off the beam characters in black comedies, here playing an OCD patient who badgers his therapist Richard Dreyfuss to the point of insanity, eveb following him to his secret vacation spot, and basically stealing the spotlight with his family.Murray is likable; lovable, even although if I was in Dreyfuss's position, I might want to liquidate Murray and dump the fluid in an abandoned pond. I like comedies like this that go beyond what's considered respectable, because how are we going to handle the eccentrics in life if we don't get to experience what we might encounter in real life? This has a great cast of comics and New York stage actors, all either amused by Murray's off the wall charms or trying to keep Dreyfuss from killing Murray or a padded cell. "Airplane" stewardess Julie Hagerty is very funny as Dreyfuss's charming wife, but the balance of the conflict between Murray and Dreyfeuss is what makes this amusing, if not pee your pants, funny, although a few moments come close. Along with "Planes, Trains and Automobiles", I consider films like this modern "Road" pictures, with Murray as Hope and Dreyfuss as Crosby, albeit high on caffeine. Call this "Road to Bellevue".

powermandan My views on this film are a bit lower than most. A bit of it comes from my own experiences with psychologists and a bit comes from true masterpieces of similar films. Either way, I can't deny the wonder that the movie brings.Bill Murray stars as Bob Wiley, a role I think is his best and the one he should have received an Oscar nomination for. Bob suffers from depression, severe anxiety, and phobias towards just about everything. He is funny enough to laugh but serious enough to sympathize. His latest shrink had enough of him and caused him to quit the practise. But before the guy does, he appoints Bob to Leo Marvin, played by Richard Dreyfuss. Leo agrees to meet Bob just to see who he will be dealing with when he gets back from summer vacation. Their brief meeting gives Bob hope and Leo gives him a copy of his latest book "Baby Steps." All Leo wants is to spend some carefree time with his family at their cottage and make his guest appearance on "Good Morning America" a success. But Bob becoming overly attached threatens all of Leo's plans as he crashes the cottage. The family loves Bob but Leo grows to despise him, sending Leo on the brink of insanity.The relationship between Bob and Leo is awesome. Being with a loving family is just what Bob needs, but is annoys Leo to death. I did think that the progression of Leo into madness. Leo wants to destroy Bob once and for all. The family loving Bob was also well done. But Bob progressively getting better was something that seemed to to be the thing that the writers just wanted to get out of the way. Bob's progression into normality was all-too quick. With as many problems that Bob has, it would realistically have taken him much longer to get at the stage he's at. The one flaw that I think made this movie suffer was Bob and Leo not reconciling. Bob loves Leo, but Leo's hatred of Bob remains. I know that this isn't much of a "buddy-movie," but having Bob and Leo becoming friends would have made the movie great. That would have added morals and sentimental values. It would have made the heart grow. Check out Planes Trainer & Automobiles, Rain Man, Big Bully (I know it sucked, but the ending saved it), and 3 Women, these films are great examples of reconciling that saved the movie. Leo learning to love Bob back would've brought him out of his self-centred world and the movie would have worked as more than a comedy.So have stated why this movie is good and not great. This movie being good is enough where I wouldn't mind seeing it again.

FilmCriticLalitRao Although films about doctors and their professional relationships with patients in a "hospital setting" are very common, one rarely gets to see what happens in their personal lives when they are not in a medical institution. This gives rise to create a film solely about doctors and patients who are active outside medical establishments. A film of this kind enables viewers to understand that doctors and patients are continually devising ways to invent better methods of treatment. This is one essential element which can help viewers to know more about a doctor and his patient as two distinct individuals with clear ideas. "What about Bob" ? is a film which depicts what happens when a patient emerges as stronger than a doctor ? American actors Richard Dreyfuss and Bill Murray are perfect in their roles as a serious doctor and a gentle but scatter brained patient. They share an extremely strange doctor-patient relationship built on mutual trust which is threatened due to the sudden arrival of the patient at doctor's vacation home. Watching this film would be fun for viewers as they would get a chance to learn that some experts are absolutely clueless when troubles come as it is not possible to solve all the problems in the world with only bookish knowledge.
