Andy Leclerc the film is arguably one of the best comedies of all time because the original concept was so much darker. So that's how Murray played the part. It's a silly goofball comedy that's actually very VERY dark in its original format. Bob stalks wealthy psychiatrists whom are tightly wound and have bad relationships emotionally with their children, trying to steal a family. He wins this time. There wasn't anything truly 'wrong' with him in the initial screenplay. He can turn his phobias' on and off at will. He's paralyzed then imitates a homicide detective with ease. He's phobic about anything he touches then takes control of a television interview. He knows Marvin genuinely intends to murder him and deliberately has their house destroyed. Leo ends up discredited, disbarred from practice and a criminal and Bob ends up a mini celebrity having stolen his work and adapted it married to his sister. Bob knows his strenghts and his weaknesses in equal measure, and the whole thing is a deliberate plan. He has a 'false alarm' on good morning America to put Leo off, then one scene later is casually joking with the mental ward's staff like 'nothing' is wrong with him at all.
Hopefully on the re-watch you caught the best line of the movie: Leo: "I just want some peace and quiet!" Bob: "I'll be quiet." Siggy: "I'll be peace."
I saw this movie in a theater when it came out. I was with my boyfriend, it was our third movie of the day. I knew nothing about it, it just fit the time schedule. I laughed SO HARD, especially at that line. This is a great movie, vastly underrated. I don't know how it managed to fly so far under the radar, especially given all the stars in it. I think it is award worthy, and am so happy to see someone reacting to it!💙
I told her she was the Mother in this movie in her Airplane reaction a week ago and now she's watching it. Feels like I made it happen even though I'm sure I didn't.
Dreyfuss tells how Bill could be a bit of a prick at times. Their personalities were actually more reversed in real life as opposed to the characters they play in the movie. Richard Dreyfuss is the overly enthusiastic, always happy and excited to be on set and Bill Murray with his cool and laconic style would get a little fed up with this egotistical manic shrimpkin he had to co-star with.
Dreyfuss goes way back (first credit is in 1964), and he's still active today. Some highlights and possible channel watches would be: American Graffiti (1973) [a nostalgic look back at 1962]; Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977); The Goodbye Girl (also 1977); Always (1989); Mr. Holland's Opus (1995); Poseidon (2006).
K2da_G great review but this is anything BUT a 'light' comedy. Read the original script and you'll realize it's not really a comedy, despite being one of the funniest and greatest comedic films of all time. Bob Wiley knows 'exactly' what he's doing every step of the way. He stalks rich psychiatrists with bad relationships with their families, and with the Marvin family he gets an in. Everything from that point is completely calculated when you look at it from that perspective you get a very different feel from the film. It's a goofball comedy but it's actually very dark, if you consider Murray played the part as initially conceived. He's simply manipulating the whole scenario to appear as a helpless victim. Yet he can casually impersonate a detective reporting a homicide, and casually take control of a 'good morning America' interview with ease. He's the villain
i’m at work but i just had to comment… the bit of bob and the son going “i’ll be quiet” “and i’ll be peace” CRACKED ME UP SO DANG HARD FOR YEARS ON END
Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss need to do another movie. They set each other up perfectly. My mother is a psychologist and considers this a horror film.
Another movie between these two is never going to happen. They hated each other during this production. Things have calmed down now, but don't expect Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss to be in another movie together.
@@Dr.Acula76 Leo does reveal waaaaay too much personal information - several times, but he's a high-functioning narcissist and can't help talking about himself. I mean, he looks as much like Freud as he possibly can, he named his kids Sigmund and Anna (Freud's daughter ffs - that's some deeply Freudian sh!t right there), needs constant validation from Fay, and he's an emotionally detached husband and father (he makes Siggy learning to dive all about himself, and don't get me started about the puppets). Plus, he's a HUGE control freak, and Bob is an agent of chaos. Yes, Bob has severe social and separation anxiety and is highly neurotic, but Leo has some major, unresolved issues.
Excellent editing, you know what you're doing. The way you edited it actually tells the whole story, keeps the best parts, and retains all the humor. For the other reactions to this , the editing was abrupt and the story didn't flow well. I think the reason this was better than the couple other reactions to this I've seen is that even if you took yourself out of the picture, the flow of the whole thing was very good
The way they gradually switch places throughout the movie was brilliant. Dr Marvin's face during the TV interview with Bob is hilarious. Richard Dreyfuss made that meltdown funny.
I saw this five times in the theatre...always with new friends. Loved it! One of the more surprising things is that his daughter, Anna, was actually 26 when this came out.
I remember my Dad taking me to see this in theaters back in 91 I was 7 year's old at the time now I'm 37 years old still laughing at this great super funny movie classic
Fun fact Charlie Korsmo, Siggy's actor, is now an Assistant Professor of Law and the U.S. director of the Canada-U.S. Law institute at Case Western Reserve University School of Law.
As soon as I saw this notification, I knew you would instantly love this movie. You’re right, go back and watch it again, you’ll def pick up some comedic genius. Great reaction!
This movie brings so much happy memories. Besides it being extremely funny, it was my mother's favorite comedy. Unfortunately she passed away last year.
@@paulnevland1801 It is! Wondering whether I should get up extra early to watch Australia v. Sweden before the USA game, because the announcers always spoil the results of earlier games with zero prior warning. >:[
3 movies, 'Always', 1989 with Richard Dreyfuss, John Goodman and Holly Hunter, a love story. 'Rainman', 1988 with Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise. An excellent performance by Dustin Hoffman, based on a real person. 'Mr Holland's Opus', 1995 with Richard Dreyfuss, a heartwarming story of a teachers life.
Yeah, that's Richard Dreyfuss, he was the scientist in Jaws. He's also in a few other great movies, Stand By Me, and Always (another Steven Spielberg movie).
Second favorite Bill Murray movie behind Groundhog Day. It's hilarious to watch Bob cause Leo to slowly unravel at the seams, and I love the vindictive coffee shop owners. "That son of a b*tch! (She never says that....."
@@pantlessreactions Yes! Yes, it will, lol. I watched a review/commentary before the movie (I never had an intention to watch the film) and cried along with the RUclipsr. Then watched the movie myself, knowing full well what I was getting into, and cried all over again.
My family watched this EVERY extended family gathering growing up for quite awhile. Bill Murray was great but you also REALLY REALLY got to give it to Richard Dreyfus. Leo's descent into madness was so over the top but also totally believable at the same time. We all really sympathize with him on some level. Some amazing quotes and scenes of comedic gold here. My favorite Bob moment. The Dinner scene with handchucked corn. Favorite Leo scene. Leo kicks Bob out of his car " Get Out of the Car!!!! But its said with such venom bd exasperation that it's almost indecipherable.
I love this so much. Another great 80s Dreyfuss comedy is Stakeout with Emilio Estevez, which I know every single line. There is also a very little known Bill Murray comedy called The Man Who Knew Too Little where he has a character very similar in demeanour to Bob who gets accidentally pulled into a real world spy plot whilst believing that everything happening around him is live theatre.
My wife has been a marriage, family, child therapist for more than 30 years. Most of the time she hates how therapists are portrayed in movies. She was able to laugh at this movie largely because Bill Murray & Richard Dreyfus were so good playing against each other. She really like another dark comedy ( 1994 ) called “ The Ref “ staring comedian Dennis Leary, Kevin Spacey, & Judy Davis. The Ref was directed by Ted Demme who is the nephew of Johnathan Demme. Johnathan is famous for directing “ The Silence of The Lambs “ & “ Philadelphia “.
You won't regret this, it was one of my mom's favorites and I like it too (yes she was a big Neil Diamond fan, I took her to see him in Hartford once). "Scrooged" is another, best saved for Xmas another retelling of "A Christmas Carol" by Dickens. Now you know why "What About Bob?" was so highly recommended. Bob does the slow burn on poor Leo who's wound way too tight, even his own kids don't like him. The doctor Catherine I recognized from the soap opera "One Life to Live" that my mom watched when I was growing up, Doris Belack played a doctor on that show too.
I'm obsessed watching your videos, there have been soooo many girls I've met that I wished watched these movies, its oddly refreshing watching you react
The woman who played the wife was also in " Airplane " 🛫😂. Bill Murray is also in " Caddyshack " . The one who plays Dr. Marvin was also in JAWS🦈. The movie you & your sister were scared of😂🤣
I went to the movie when it came out having no idea what I was going to see. Hystrical and have seen it many times since. Glad you so liked it ! My favorite line: "Is that the Fam?"
I would just once again like to recommend the abyss. From the brilliant mind of James Cameron. Everyone's favorite series Terminator and alien. He also did Titanic and point break. You simply will love the abyss.
Be sure too watch the directors cut if you do the Abyss. It was great The theatrical release had far too much time cut to the point that the ending was basically a big WTF.
For most of my life growing up, my dad was a pastor of a church. He has a special love for this movie. On the weekend this movie came out, he was going to a church conference of fellow pastors. The keynote speaker got up and told all the pastors, "You have to see this movie! You will relate to it SO MUCH!" So, he and a bunch of other pastors went to see it and they laughed until they couldn't breathe. They all loved it because it was so relatable. Just change Richard Dreyfuss from a therapist to a minister, and change Bill Murray from a needy patient to a needy congregant, and then change nothing else about the film, and you get some insight into what life is like for a pastor. Since then, he has absolutely loved this movie.
Anna, Dr Marvin’s daughter, stars with Kevin Bacon in Stir of Echoes. Came out about the same time as The Sixth Sense. A little spooky but not more than Sixth Sense. Stir of Echoes is a great movie
I'm from NH and would go to my grandparents on their boat at lake winnipesaukee every year. I think this was filmed in Virginia though. Also, it is the actor from Jaws which was filmed on Martha's Vineyard MA. It's a pretty special movie to me too, because it was one of my cousins (who unfortunately passed away...) favorite movies.
My favorite line is, "GETOUDATHAGAAAAA!!!"
"Gone? You think he's gone? He's not gone, thats the whole point, he's never gone!"
"Is this some sort of radical new therapy?"
"YOU SEE!"
🤣🤣🤣
Cig Bob? Oh sorry!
Haha!
Didn't realize you were in a str8 jacket
AAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!🤣🙈
The first time I saw this, I had rented it and I rewound that part so many times I thought I'd break it!
I feel like the original script said “get outta there!” But that’s just how it came out so they stuck with it😂
YES!!! i had forgotten about that until i watched this reaction and i literally snorted water.
The genius of the movie lies in how the better Bob gets, the crazier Dr. Marvin gets...brilliant😀
Andy Leclerc the film is arguably one of the best comedies of all time because the original concept was so much darker. So that's how Murray played the part.

Yes I agree
Haha yes its true! Bob is more normal in the ending of movie,an doctor crazy freak who ends up hospital😂
No one plays mental better than dreyfuss
Hopefully on the re-watch you caught the best line of the movie:
Leo: "I just want some peace and quiet!"
Bob: "I'll be quiet."
Siggy: "I'll be peace."
I uploaded that scene to my RUclips, in 2006, I think? It's perfect!
I saw this movie in a theater when it came out. I was with my boyfriend, it was our third movie of the day. I knew nothing about it, it just fit the time schedule.

"is this hand shucked?" I still use that line at barbecues. Lol.
I use that line all the time when my family has corn on the cob with guests in my house.
Cuz there’s no other way to do it my dad and I use it all the time 😂
Remember Jaws, the marine biologist, that's him, Richard Dreyfuss. And Julie Hagerty from Airplane. 😊
I told her she was the Mother in this movie in her Airplane reaction a week ago and now she's watching it. Feels like I made it happen even though I'm sure I didn't.
He was also the grown up Gordo in Stand By Me.

The son is also the son, of robin williams in Hook.
"You think he's gone? He's not gone, HE'S NEVER GONE!" "Is this some kind of radical new therapy?" "YOU SEE?!?!"
that was my favorite line
Best line
Hey, if you fake it, then you don't have it.

This is your boss Jenny your Fired.
Same. I was disappointed that Cassie didn't hear it. Oh well. She'll discover it when she re-watches it.
Me, too.
There’s a ground breaking new book. I love how he hesitates for a second when there’s an entire shelf of them! 😂
Me and my little sister loved watching What About Bob when we were kids. We would laugh so hard our stomachs would be in knots.
Dr. Marvin's daughter is the actress who played the detective for so many years in Law and Order. Criminal Intent.
“You think he’s gone?! He’s not gone! That’s the whole point, he’s never gone!!!!”
I quote this line about my cats XD
Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss need to do another movie. They set each other up perfectly.
My mother is a psychologist and considers this a horror film.
Another movie between these two is never going to happen. They hated each other during this production. Things have calmed down now, but don't expect Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss to be in another movie together.
That makes sense but I'm sure your mother is smart enough to not have pictures of her family in the office or talk about them with a patient
You forgot the "Pah-dum-pum!" at the end of that joke. ;^)
when Bill Murray was at the peak of his homeless guy look

Yes it is Richard Dreyfuss from jaws. You might want to check out Mr Holland's opus his acting is great
And the wife is the woman from Airplane!
*Mr Holland's Opus!*
Richard Dreyfuss was also in that 1977 classic SF movie "Close Encounters of the Third Kind".
He was also the grown narrator in “Stand by me”
I love the jaws reference in this movie
My favorite line,
Leo - "I WANT SOME PEACE AND QUIET!"
Bob - "I'll be quiet."
Siggy - "I'll be peace."✌️
I like thinking about Bob as a homeless, overly affectionate golden retriever, who keeps showing up on their porch wanting to be adopted.
My favorite line is the one Dreyfuss improvised after throwing him out of the car: "Getoudddaruddaba!"
Yes, was coming to make sure someone recognized the awesomeness of that line read at 24:42, he's so angry the words aren't even words anymore.
lol same
The wife actually said 'kids being kids' while referring to Bob also along with the little boy, lol.
Lmao, the way you said "Well he's gonna kill him. He's gonna murder him," was hilarious with how sweet it was.
“THEN HE CAN BORROW MY SLICKER!!!” 🌧⚡️
So many great lines… My all-time favorite movie!
When Dr Marvin kicked bob out of the car and yelled "AUGGHA GAH BLAH" i felt that
Anna was Freud's daughter's name, btw
Excellent editing, you know what you're doing. The way you edited it actually tells the whole story, keeps the best parts, and retains all the humor.

My husband and I quote this movie SO much. "I'm doing the work, I'm not a slacker!!" 😅
Bob is literally a golden retriever lmao
That's a great analogy.
Yes! That's what I think too.
You reacting to Bob is like us reacting to you who comes across so beautifully innocent
We are Cassie and Cassie is we
I could watch movies with this woman all the time! So delightful!
As a Bob with a good amount of social anxiety, I approve of this movie 😂
This is a family Christmas movie with my family. It’s good memories for me. Nice to see you youngsters enjoy this as well. 😅
I saw this five times in the theatre...always with new friends. Loved it! One of the more surprising things is that his daughter, Anna, was actually 26 when this came out.

It's pretty suprising how many people haven't seen (or even heard of) this movie, given how funny it is.
Richard Dreyfus comedic acting especially his facial acting is just masterful in this movie.
Wait a minute - is Sigmund played by the kid who was 'Jack Panning' in "Hook"?
Yup! I never noticed that either until now.
Fun fact Charlie Korsmo, Siggy's actor, is now an Assistant Professor of Law and the U.S. director of the Canada-U.S. Law institute at Case Western Reserve University School of Law.
yup

shout out to whoever kept tossing $5 and asking for this movie. its so quirky and good lol.
GREAT choice. Love this movie... so darn funny. I still use the phrase, "baby steps, bob... baby steps" all these years later.
the most wholesome reactor in the history of movie and or reaction videos, and I am here for it.
This movie brings so much happy memories. Besides it being extremely funny, it was my mother's favorite comedy. Unfortunately she passed away last year.
Can we get a “oh my gosh” counter for every upcoming episode?😂
I'd suggest a drinking game, but Jurassic Park's coming up, and Cassie would inadvertantly kill us all.😃

Yeah a shot for each time haha
Its right up there with "thats a wonderful shot"

Probably my favorite Bill Murray movie. And directed by Frank Oz, the voice of Yoda and Miss Piggy!
He also directed Dirty Rotten Scoundrels with Steven Martin and Michael Caine, a great late 80s comedy.
The Blues Brothers - "One prophylactic, unused....one soiled."
3 movies,
'Always', 1989 with Richard Dreyfuss, John Goodman and Holly Hunter, a love story.
'Rainman', 1988 with Dustin Hoffman and Tom Cruise. An excellent performance by Dustin Hoffman, based on a real person.
'Mr Holland's Opus', 1995 with Richard Dreyfuss, a heartwarming story of a teachers life.
My college roommate and I played a drinking game to this (drink every time someone says Bob). You can imagine how wasted we got 😂🤣
You got liver disease, right?
nothing funny about alcohol. get help
Fun fact: Richard Dryfus played Hooper in Jaws and also the voice of the Narrator in Stand By Me
"WAKE UP BOB!!!" I loved this scene.
The entire movie is an intense, low cost therapy session and I absolutely love this film!
Bob is like an affectionate octopus. You pull off one grabbing arm, and there are still 7 arms left to deal with.
"text book narcissist" says the guy who cannot handle that anyone but him taught his son how to dive 😂😂
Awesome. This is simply one of Bill Murray's best movies.
One of, because Ground Hog Day was his best.😀

The Goodbye Girl.
Stakeout, Let It Ride, Nuts
Close Encounters, Lost in Yonkers.
SON OF A BITCHIN BOBB!!!
My favorite line! 😂
Still watch this movie every summer.
"The Goodbye Girl". You will love it!
The next time you need another straight-up comedy, please watch "My Cousin Vinnie". Very funny!
This movie will always hold a special place in my heart, Bob Wiley and I are literally the same person.
Second favorite Bill Murray movie behind Groundhog Day. It's hilarious to watch Bob cause Leo to slowly unravel at the seams, and I love the vindictive coffee shop owners. "That son of a b*tch! (She never says that....."
Back in the 70's Richard D. Starred in the movie "American graffiti". It's an awesome movie. I highly suggest that you see it.
10:52 "one month vacation. It's a dream" . Here in Europe it's not a dream , it is the legal minimum of vacation per year...
This is such a great comedy. Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss are perfect on their roles.
One of my all time fav movies! When I was a kid it made me feel like I wasn't such an outcast for having anxiety
Popcorn In Bed: "I think it's about boats..." Me: "I'm Sailing!"
*Cassie* predicting the "aneurysm" long before it happens was hilarious
I had the SAME ANEURYSM as I WATCHED this GENIUS movie happen!!! 😂😂😂😂. And, of course, Cassie actually saw more of Bob's point of view, 😂
24:44 is actually my FAVORITE line in the movie 😂😂😂"Getouttablarrrgblaarrrrrgblaaarg"
that's my favourite line of any movie 😂
Loved watching this with my dad when I was young. Throughly enjoyed how much you enjoyed it
You should see Richard Dreyfus & Emelio Estevez in "Stakeout", and its sequel ("Another Stakeout").
Yes, that's the guy from Jaws. Also the guy from "Always" and the guy from "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." I'm sure you'll like them both.
"Always" will cause some ugly crying
@@pantlessreactions Yes! Yes, it will, lol. I watched a review/commentary before the movie (I never had an intention to watch the film) and cried along with the RUclipsr. Then watched the movie myself, knowing full well what I was getting into, and cried all over again.
Hard to believe it's been 30 year's since this movie came out
FABULOUS editing, on your part. I've never seen this one, but I feel like I got the whole story.
My family watched this EVERY extended family gathering growing up for quite awhile.
Bill Murray was great but you also REALLY REALLY got to give it to Richard Dreyfus. Leo's descent into madness was so over the top but also totally believable at the same time.
We all really sympathize with him on some level.
Some amazing quotes and scenes of comedic gold here.
My favorite Bob moment. The Dinner scene with handchucked corn.
Favorite Leo scene. Leo kicks Bob out of his car " Get Out of the Car!!!! But its said with such venom bd exasperation that it's almost indecipherable.
Cassie. You must see “Mr Holland’s Opus”?
Peak Dreyfuss in my opinion
I dunno, Close Encounters of the Third Kind, that mashed potato sculpture was peak imo.
I love this so much. Another great 80s Dreyfuss comedy is Stakeout with Emilio Estevez, which I know every single line.
There is also a very little known Bill Murray comedy called The Man Who Knew Too Little where he has a character very similar in demeanour to Bob who gets accidentally pulled into a real world spy plot whilst believing that everything happening around him is live theatre.
Crazy movie. Both Murray and Dreyfuss killed it despite the fact that they did not get along.
8:35 My favorite; "Wait, is that the guy from Jaws?" Yes it is, Richard Dreyfus. The guy who went into the shark cage.
Gimme, gimme, gimme; I need, I need, I need. Great reaction.
My wife has been a marriage, family, child therapist for more than 30 years. Most of the time she hates how therapists are portrayed in movies.

"Death therapy, Bob. It's a guaranteed cure!" 🤣

@@melodymiller9137 " Next Stop , Greenwich Village " 1976. It was a very small cameo.
Haha! I once worked for an insurance company that made us say “I feel good, I feel great, I feel terrrrrific!” Every day.
One of those few comedies that is both brilliant, and doesn't get weird with age.
comedies don't get weird with age, modern people are just brainwashed to think every word in the dictionairy is "problematic"
I went to the movie when it came out having no idea what I was going to see. Hystrical and have seen it many times since. Glad you so liked it ! My favorite line: "Is that the Fam?"
Please watch Edge of Tomorrow! It's amazing :D
I heard the "I'm schizophrenic, and so am I" joke back in the 80s from my uncle Mike. LOL
Such a good movie. Bill Murray is iconic here. The corn scene kills me every time.
THE MAN WHO KNEW TOO LITTLE is a Bill Murray movie Must See!!!
"Meatballs" is an early Bill Murray summer camp movie. 👍
The director is Frank Oz who is Miss Piggy and Yoda. He also directed Death at a Funeral and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. Both recommended!
I was wondering if someone would point this out before me! Good Job!
I would just once again like to recommend the abyss. From the brilliant mind of James Cameron. Everyone's favorite series Terminator and alien. He also did Titanic and point break. You simply will love the abyss.
Be sure too watch the directors cut if you do the Abyss. It was great The theatrical release had far too much time cut to the point that the ending was basically a big WTF.
Kathryn Bigelow directed Point Break.
@@noodle_fc oh. It was under his list of movies. I just assumed he directed it
@@michaellynch5254 Executive producer, looks like. I didn't know that. Somehow it doesn't seem like his kind of thing to me.
@@noodle_fc I was surprised when I saw it too. It's one of the best action movies of all time so I thought of course it's one of his movies
For most of my life growing up, my dad was a pastor of a church. He has a special love for this movie. On the weekend this movie came out, he was going to a church conference of fellow pastors. The keynote speaker got up and told all the pastors, "You have to see this movie! You will relate to it SO MUCH!" So, he and a bunch of other pastors went to see it and they laughed until they couldn't breathe. They all loved it because it was so relatable. Just change Richard Dreyfuss from a therapist to a minister, and change Bill Murray from a needy patient to a needy congregant, and then change nothing else about the film, and you get some insight into what life is like for a pastor. Since then, he has absolutely loved this movie.
Love seeing your reactions to this great classic movie
Anna, Dr Marvin’s daughter, stars with Kevin Bacon in Stir of Echoes. Came out about the same time as The Sixth Sense. A little spooky but not more than Sixth Sense. Stir of Echoes is a great movie
I think you would like the movie Clue based on the board game. Great cast and just a classic. So many great lines
ehhhh, no
The Good Morning America Interview is absolute classic comedy gold! Leo ... I mean Dr. Marvin goes totaly insane ... OH ! BOB !
Bill Murray is funny in this. Richard Dreyfuss is hysterical. 😂
Wow I was just about to make the same comment. Dreyfus kills it
I'm from NH and would go to my grandparents on their boat at lake winnipesaukee every year. I think this was filmed in Virginia though. Also, it is the actor from Jaws which was filmed on Martha's Vineyard MA. It's a pretty special movie to me too, because it was one of my cousins (who unfortunately passed away...) favorite movies.
