"Steve Martin was considered for both roles". Can you imagine Steve Martin ACTUALLY playing both roles, simultaneously? 🤔😲🤣
Scenario: Steve Martin plays twin brothers. One with all of Bob's problems that goes to his estranged brother, who became a therapist for help.
It could've worked but its so hard to imagine this film without Murray and Dreyfuss.
Speaking of Steve Martin, there are barely any reactions to Dirty Rotten Scoundrels out there on the interwebs. It is ripe for the picking if Just SUMM Reactions ever decides to do one!
It be the father from Parenthood vs the Jerk.
Nick Cage playing both roles and start making room for all of your Oscars
Yeah him forcin Bob out the car is my favorite part 🤣🤣 "GETOUTAGAGHAAGHBAH!!!"
100% - absolute gold, I still literally LOL each time I see it
Mine too
My favorite line in the movie! Geddouta dah ghgahhhh!
@@aadams1006 Same Here, Super Funny 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Who hasn't been standing around in an amazingly boring "tourist trap" and wanted to just start screaming "DOCTOR! LEO! MARVIN!" over and over like you're actually looking for the author of "Baby Steps?" "I'M NOT SLACKING! I'M NOT A SLACKER! I'M DOING THE WORK! GIVE ME! GIVE ME! I NEED! I NEED!"
😂😂😂
The scene where Leo is trying to wake up Bob always cracks me up, it reminds me of my parents trying to wake me up when I was in high school.
Bob! Bob! Cock a Doodle Doo! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Richard Dreyfuss is killing it in this one.
Yes I agree 👍💯
"I was in Jaws,ok...." -Richard Dreyfuss
9:07 - I have it straight from the horse's mouth: for psychiatrists, this IS a horror movie. Bob is EXACTLY the kind of patient real life psychiatrists fear getting. My college Psych professor told me so himself.
Harsh but honest. It's a comedy, not a psychological treatise, give it some suspension of belief like with "Cannonball Run". It's the old comedy technique of the slow burn. It's easy to overlook that Bob saved Leo's life and taught Siggy to dive and actually listened to Anna. Leo's kids have a poor relationship with their father but find Bob more relatable. Bob wasn't a psycho killer, a trained psychologist would recognize that, he was just socially awkward and needy.
No, Bob is indeed a narcissist in that he enforces his presence on people without their will and manipulates people against those who resist.
You sure like excuses a lot. Don't you?
Because the sleepover scene was so cringy you glossed over the best joke. Peace and quiet was genius.
Still one of my favourite jokes of all time. Used it on my ma once and she did not see the funny side at the time
My sister and I say "I'll be quiet," "I'll be peace" to each other CONSTANTLY!!
That scene makes me cackle every single time I see it.
For Charlie Korsmo (the son) in his best role - Can't Hardly Wait, one of the ultimate teen comedies of the 90's.
"how come HE gets to be Grand Mof Tarkin??"
"Hey wait, I wanna be Tarkin"
"Shut-up, you're both Kiss dolls!"
Aristotle's definition of comedy was: "Bad behavior presented as if it were normal." Sure, Bob is behaving badly, stalking Leo (& his family), but that's why it's funny. Bob isn't severely mentally ill, he's just mildly neurotic and lonely. The film isn't punching down on poor Bob, it's punching up at Leo, who is a bit pretentious and full of himself. Btw, I absolutely LOVE Emily's laugh, it's why I tune in!!!
I watch for her laughs and when she gets excited to see tiddies
Took the first girl I ever dated to this movie. She excused herself to the restroom / snackbar, and after a while I went to look for her, found her in the next screen room watching Pet Semetery with one of my friends. Good times.
The thing about mental illness and treatment thereof is that there is an interesting paradigm. The seriously mentally ill often do not often seek out treatment. The people who seek care, which anyone suffering should, are often somewhere in the middle of the spectrum. Bob definitely violates a lot of boundaries of doctor/patient relationships. Bob though is a silly character, he does suffer from a number of neurosis and phobias, but overall he is kind of lovable in his struggles. Something I consider now versus when I watched it as a kid is that I have dealt with a lot of people who are neuro atypical and struggle to discern social boundaries and to filter their speech. I think Bob might fit into that category.
I like when Pippin reaches out and tries to touch your arm.
Now you have to watch Down and Out in Beverly Hills starring Richard Dreyfus and Nick Nolte. There's some similarities to these two movies.
Yes I agree 👍💯
As a mental health therapist, this movie is one of our greatest fears. We are repeatedly reminded to limit information about one's personal life, including not having family pictures up. In the case of a client breaking personal boundaries as in this movie, I would immediately demand the person leave. If they failed to leave, I would involve the authorities to the fullest extent of the law. Beyond that, I would defend my family to the degree that the situation required. Regarding the movie, fiction makes for good fun and I feel bad for the therapist. Big fan. You keep making reviews and we'll keep watching them. Get out of the car!!!!!
As i got older, I realized Bob is absolutely a villain who worms his way into Leo's life and charms his family and even you, the audience. He literally drives his own psychiatrist insane. He's diabolical
Despite the fact that a patient should never be so annoyingly clingy to his of her therapist as Bob was to Dr. Marvin here it was still a VERY FUNNY situation!😂
Emily, it's NOT REAL. :D
We know that mentally-ill people can be dangerous if unsupervised, irl. I think the point of the film is that neither Bob nor Leo are the bad guy, they just have their own issues, but while Bob is completely open with no social filter, Leo is obsessed with control to the point of a breakdown. I see it as them both needing each other, although Leo is obviously not ging to see it that way. :D
It doesn't matter if it's not real. It's a matter of Suspension of Disbelief. It's breaks verisimilitude to have people who are supposed to be sane act in a way sane people wouldn't act
@@allantidgwell5624 So the reason the opposing sportsball teams lose their shit over Trump and Biden?
No one can suspend their disbelief that those clowns can be president?
@@fs127 wow. The disingenuous question
The reason fans of sports oppose Biden and Trump is because a competition is not the time or the place for political theatre. So if you want to bring it in for one side or the other you don't get to whine when the other side does so in kind. You might as well be complaining that when you swing your fist at someone they're allowed to swing back. You think you're being insightful, but the only one you're impressing is yourself
Here's an idea, instead of performing your politics, how about you live them and let other people do the same; even if their politics disagree with yours
Excellent point great to see another person express the same thoughts
@@allantidgwell5624 NOT is a film listed as a comedy and of the absurd to be sure.
“There are two types of people in this world: those who like Neil diamond, and those who don’t, my wife loves him.”
So Charlie Korsmo essentially left the business after Hook was released (after this). He went on to get hia J.D. from Yale, passed the bar, and is a law professor. Pretty impressive. I believe between this and Groundhog Day (another must see), Bill Murray cemented hia rep as "The Murricane."
And Scrooged.
Leo didn't really care about other people and Bob did! But yes get out of the car was definitely the funniest line!
Billy Crystal as a therapist, that's the other funny therapy movie of the 90s - 'Analyze This'. Playing alongside a fantastic, neurotic Robert De Niro (Edit: Typed this in the first 3 2 minutes. :D )
I did like the scene of Leo yelling at Bob to get out of the car. Seemed like Richard Dryfus was channeling one of the many old Ralph Kramden - Ed Norton moments from the Honeymooners.
Excellent comedy from start to finish. FYI…Leo got what he deserved. Bob is the hero.
I used to work in an adolescent psych facility and the kids ASKED me to rent this for movie day! It still makes me smile!!!
34:32 I love the point that she makes about that the only thing that keeps this movie from being a horror film is the music. Honestly if you think about it a lot of these horror movies that are out there....what would happen if you switched it all from minor to Major key? And change a couple of pieces in the movie to where you didn't see anybody kill or murder or maim anyone or hurt anyone? It could have been a what about Bob situation. Which is kind of creepy but disturbingly cool though...
Check on RUclips it's an entire subgenre... Watching the opening credits to "Diff'rent Strokes" is an entirely different vibe when you swap it for slow creepy music..a slow limo pulls up with an old white man inviting two kids inside.. Plays very very different with the music change. Lol
@@mcgilj1 that's cool and messed up at the same time!
There's a funny recut trailer out there with What About Bob? as a thriller
9:38 I always loved how Bob wound up turning Dr. Marvin's family against him. 😂😂😅😅
The only really notable thing Charlie Korsmo was in, besides this film and Hook, is Dick Tracy. He is now a lawyer. :)
And "Can't Hardly Wait.."
@@mcgilj1 well... yeah... but I didn't really class that film as 'notable'. Haha. 😀 But you're right... he is in it!
I've always enjoyed the progression displayed in this flick. Really great writing and acting.
I think Bob was portrayed as a bit of an innocent who would never harm anyone.
When it comes to patients, you never know when someone isn't going to be "innocent" and it's my experience as a therapist, that one doesn't want to be on that path should that happen.
@@JohnC-oz9oo Granted, but at no point in the movie do we see Bob do anything cruel or mean that would lead someone to think he might be dangerous.
@@JohnC-oz9oo So you prejudge every patient based on the worse case scenario? Reminds me of how every Ralphs, Rite aid, other places with public restrooms lock them up or require a key/code to use them. Just because a few people commit wrongs, everyone has to suffer. Including those with bladder problems/loneliness.
One of my dad's patients murdered his mom and social worker who came to do a weekly check in with an axe. The week before he'd been at one of my dad's gatherings.
I love this movie as a comedy and don't let my mind go to the realities of the situations.
this movie was great the first time I saw it, but as I grew older I came to relate more and more to Dreyfus' character, the intrusion of his private life and how it is dismantled and essentially overtaken by "Bob".
This is a movie with no heroes. Everyone has a very obvious flaw, but I think that's what I like about it. Very few people are all good or all bad. We are all imperfect vessels. It's a funny movie, and that makes it easier to accept that no one's perfect.
Can't believe you didn't recognize Richard Dreyfuss immediately by now. Surely you've seen at least one movie with him by now (Jaws, Close Encounters..., Always, etc etc)?! Anyways, hahahaha, this is the perfect black comedy! One of my favorite both Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfus movies.
There's actually a fake trailer on RUclips that is "if What About Bob was a horror movie." It's as fabulous as it sounds.
Richard and Bill notoriously didn’t get on while working together. To the point that Richard has called him “A Drunken Irish Bully”
Richard said “He put his face next to me, nose-to-nose, and he screamed at the top of his lungs, ‘Everyone hates you! You are tolerated!’” he said.
Dreyfuss continued, “There was no time to react because he leaned back and he took a modern glass-blown ashtray. He threw it at my face from [only a couple feet away]. And it weighed about three-quarters of a pound. And he missed me. He tried to hit me. I got up and left.”
I think it maybe helped the onscreen relationship but DAMN! haha.
Leo uses puppets/dolls to talk to his daughter (and probably for the rest of the family too).... he's definitely the villain.
Speaking of psychologists' views of this movie, "Cinema Therapy" did a good analysis of this. I'd recommend checking it out.
I was just coming down here to recommend this myself.
@@MasterTMO Same. Made very interesting viewing.
one of the best comedies Bill Murray ever did... right up there with Scrooged and Groundhog Day. I think you was fighting yourself during a lot of this. You wanted to laugh but kept trying to stop yourself. Just let the laughter flow.
My favorite part is when the house blows up and the old couple just kept yelling Burn!!! Burn!!!
Also....get out of the car!!!!
Well actually Leo had issues with his family though and Bob seemed to help the family more than he did cuz he never talked to him he had the puppets and all that stuff never really listened to his family he only cared about his work because you're so busy that's why the family family took him in Bob in
After Bob got to the vacation home, he was no longer a patient; he became a vacationer. I understand your critique of the literateness of these disabilities. My favorite scene and still cracks me up today is the dinner scene and how Bob shows how much he likes it.
When Dr. Marvin said "auughh gauugh aguurrr" i felt that
Frank Oz was also in "The Blues Brothers."
"One prophylactic, unused.....one soiled."
This is EXACTLY what I need right now.
Haha, it cracked me up that Emily kept siding with Dr. Martin.
Bob and the family are the villains. As an adult, it's hard to watch this and not dislike them.
Overall, I don't think this movie made light of mental disorders. On the contrary, it dug into the selfabsorbedness and hubris of late 80s/early 90s therapists and their craft. Bob is just a pointed/pointy vehicle to drive this point home by having the anti-social standin for therapists succumb to what he pretends to want to cure.
80s and 90s? That's still happening today
@@allantidgwell5624 Just wrote what the base back then supposedly was. I'd have found it rather... unnerving if they wrote the script as a comment on the being of therapists from the '90s 'til today.
@@Flamebeard0815 my point was that saying something is a commentary on the situation when the film was made is all well and good, but it's applicable today because the problems pointed out in the film still exist today
The closest thing you'll ever get to a non-contemporary piece of art is either a historical recreation (which would tell you about what history is valued in the present), or a speculative science fiction (which would tell you about the ideology of the present regarding the future)
You'd find it unnerving for a film to predict the future by looking at the current trajectory? You must hate reading Jules Verne
The genius of this movie is smug Richard Dreyfuss progressively losing it! Always loved this one! Thanks for reaction!
yes BILL M was sooo annoying in this, and its ironic that the silly ending shows THE Dreyfus character going nuts and murray getting the girl
Fun fact; this video was released on Ghostbusters Day (June 8th) so Emily's shirt is extra apropos
Last time I watched a reaction to this movie I legitimately had a valid fear that my heart would stop beating.(I'd been having some biological, nervous system related panic attacks late at night causing sever shortness of breathe, felt as if my lungs were collapsing, they're gone now)
Well I’m 33 and still on Bob’s side lol
DR. MARVIN! I want I want I want, I need I need! Great movie, Bill Murray is a legend
"I don't think I would enjoy Patrick Stewart being made a fool of..."
No? Only one way to find out, Emily. Watch 1997's Masterminds...
I Remember My Late Dad , Taking Me To See This Movie, When It Opened In Theaters Back In 91, I had just turned 7 years old at that time & I Still Loved This Super Funny 🤣🤣🤣 Movie To This Very Day, Classic 😊
I say "GETOUTTATHECAR!" at least once a month lol
My fav line is, "Roses are red, violets are blue. I'm a schizophrenic, and so am I.
I love this movie, it's very funny, but it could be very easily re-edited as a horror movie!
It’s on RUclips!
I can only imagine the hilarity of it all if the Bob Wiley character was in One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest
What? You guys have never heard of Airbnb? 😂
Also, the cat in Matthew's lap. Perfect placement of the tail. Umm, wow, man! 😂
17:45 My brother, God rest his soul used to love that part! 😂😂😅😅
In college my roommate and i played a drinking game to this movie. Drink every time you hear “Bob” you can imagine how trashed we got LOL
I'm not exactly sure why, but a good double feature along with this movie is Dirty Rotten Scoundrels.
Dreyfuss is brilliant in this movie. "GET OUTTA THE VAARR"!
Bill Murray excels at this type of role. I can easily believe he's Bob. LMFAO
What About Bob is my all time favorite movie
Leo, could not relate to his family. If Bob hadn't come along l. Leo would've been divorced and alienated himself from his kids.
Yes!! My favorite part of the movie 17:47! Thank you for including that part!
The first psychiatrist was the villain, fobbing off Bob onto a respected colleague.
(understandable reaction, to save himself)
Antagonist, yes not a villian.
Funniest movie of all time. So ridiculous and has so much heart. Love when Leo opens the door and Bob's still there
"You're the one drawing all the dirty pictures"
I WANT PEACE AND QUIET!
"I'll be Quiet."
..."and I'll be Peace!"
I waiting for the intro that includes "and this is Pippin, the feline film fanatic".
For Bob to be the villain he has to want to have this happen. But that's not the case. So Bob can't be the villain. Leo however knows what he is doing.
It’s great, don’t be wrapped so tight!
Apart from Robin Williams, Patrick Stewart and Steve Martin, others were at somepoint considered for both lead roles:
Bob Wiley: Woody Allen (+ offered co-writer and director), Eddie Murphy
Leo Marvin: James Caan, Chevy Chase, Kevin Kline
The only one of those I can see is Kevin Kline. He would have killed that role.
@@ashleighelizabeth5916 I'd rather go for an early Chevy Chase. Like, National Lampoon early.
I'm imagining James Caan and Eddie Murphy 😆
The daughter is played by Kathryn Erbe, better known for playing Detective Eames in Law & Order CI.
He's your Film Philatelist. #Title This is one of my favorite movies of all time. Thanks so much for reacting!! "Take a vacation...from my problems" has become a mantra for my sister and I.
The Party (1968) with Peter Sellers - must watch
"Geh dah na Cargh!!!!" I forgot about that lol
Amazing movie. One of, if not my, favorite Bill Murray movies.
Oh I hope you add Mr. Holland's Opus to the list. I looked, it's not there but it's really good
Honestly (personal opinion) this movie would’ve been funnier if Billy Crystal played the psychiatrist character instead of Richard Dreyfuss. Bill Murray is one of those actors that rubs their co-stars the wrong way sometimes, and when he does it’s a special kind of hatred. Both Lucy Liu and Richard Dreyfuss DESPISE Bill Murray and said they will NEVER work with him again.
Meanwhile Bill Murray is a beloved moviestar and Lucy and Richard are Lucy and Richard
@@monkeyzorr3090 LOL
10 out of 10,
I highly recommend you watch some other movies starring Richard Dreyfuss. Absolutely don't miss The Goodbye Girl, Mr Hollands Opus or Let it Ride. Not a lot of people have seen Let it Ride. But it is hilarious.
Absolutely agree with Let It Ride. One of the most under-rated comedies ever.
I keep forgetting how funny Dreyfuss is.
The Man Who Knew To Little, is awesome.
One of Murray's lesser known movies, and I never understood why.
Looking forward to your reaction- this is one of my favorite movies :)
I think that Analyze This, and Analyze That would be good choices for future reactions.
I just hope if it ever comes up, I have the presence of mind to scream GETABADUDAH!!! when I'm kicking someone out of my car.
You did hear Bob Wiley sing when around Leo "Give me some time to blow the man down"
love the reaction like always! And love the kitty as a 3rd sit-in :)
I like how the movie shows that the 'normal' people aren't all that normal to begin with. Puppets, neurotic son, stepwalks galore, etc.
9:12 that is what every doctor or even human being would think of this movie
Check out the reaction / review of this movie at Cinema Therapy YT channel
Possibly my favorite Bill Murray role. Usually he plays jerks who are kinda sexist but charismatic and you could argue that Bob is a jerk yes but mostly he's just a lovable big child. Also the story goes that Dreyfuss found Murray really annoying irl and he encouraged him to annoy him more so that his acting is even more authentic.
Have you watched him in Zombieland?
I saw a Dreyfuss interview where he talked about the fact that Bill whipped an ashtray at his head after Dreyfuss asked him if wanted to run some lines...I think he also said Bill was slightly drunk when this happened
The son was also in Dick Tracy (1990) but beyond that…🤷🏼

I also had trouble with the breach of personal boundaries for a long time. I was ok with the movie until the point where Bob doesn't die. Maybe I've just seen it enough, but lately I've been able to lighten up and enjoy it more.
