Synopsis
Bob Wiley is a neurotic man, who has a habit of clinging onto his therapists. His last one not being able to deal with him sends him to Leo Marvin. After having just one session, Bob thinks the world of Dr. Marvin. However, the doctor's leaving to spend the rest of the summer with his family, which throws Bob into utter despair. He calls the doctor constantly demanding to see him but the doctor says he is on vacation and cuts Bob off. He manages to find out where he is and goes there. The doctor's family takes a liking to him but the doctor feels that he is just intrusive. And no matter what he does Bob just won't go away and everybody thinks that Leo is being mean.
Critics' reviews
- "What About Bob? is just funny enough to make you wish it had been wilder and less predictable."
- "Bill Murray finds a real showcase for his oft-shackled talent in this manic comedy"
- "A sentimental comedy about mental illness, wobbly Bob offers further evidence that Disney itself may be afflicted with encroaching schizophrenia."
- "What makes the film work is the double act between the two actors, and some great one-liners that pepper the script and cover up the fact there isn’t a great deal of originality in the plot"
