Customer Reviews

What About Bob?
I had seen this film a couple of years earlier and remembered it being hilarious so took a chance on it when it came out and am I glad I did!
If you are a huge Bill Murray fan like me then there's is no doubt you will like this film. He is at his comic best throughout the film and will have you rolling with laughter.
The interraction between Richard Dreyfuss and Bill Murray is top class and I'm surprised just how underrated this film is.
Definitely worth a watch and would be a great comedy addition to anyone's collection.

GIGGLE CITY!
Totally unmissed at it's time of release, a total classic comedy film. Murray & Dreyfuess at their comic best!

You just can't help but 'feel' for the neurotic 'Bob' (You can call me Boob) and his harrassed psychiatrist 'Leo' (Call me Dr. Marvin) as Bob sneakily follows his pyschiatrist on holiday.

As Bob gets better, Leo gets very, very ill. Unwittingly, Bob empowers everyone around him, and sends his Dr. to hell & back.

Fantastic casting and performances by all. One of my top five films!

Comedy with a twist!
Having read the other comments, I'd say they are pretty fair, even the critical one, after all, particularly with comedy, one man's meat is another man's poison! I was recommended this film, and enjoyed it enough to watch a couple of times and now recommend myself.
Bill Murray is great, but I particularly liked Richard Dreyfuss' portrayal of Leo Marvin, not least of all because so many professionals seem to have too high an opinion of their abilities (and no sense of humour!). Without too much analysis (or I might sound like Leo, sorry, Dr Marvin) it is thought provoking that a very real 'them and us' attitude prevails in the mental health business, and it was great to see a big needle being stuck in that balloon! Hope you enjoy.
PS.. 'Baby steps' is such a great concept I wish I'd come up with it first!
