The psychiatrist is normally expected to cure the patient but in What
About Bob the patient drives the psychiatrist to the point of
insanity. Bill Murray plays the part of a therapy patient named Bob
Wiley, a man who fears just about everything! Richard Dreyfuss plays
a noted psychiatrist, Dr. Leo Marvin, who just can't seem to get so
much as one moment of peace. Dreyfuss' character can't even go on
vacation with his family without having the troubled patient follow
him. The doctor tries every means he can think of to shake off the
annoying Bob but not only does he fail in his attempts to get rid of
him, he loses his own mind in the process. The interaction between
the two actors is what makes this film so funny. |
