What About Bob? (1991)

Rate: 5
Viewed: 10/14

10/14: Here's something for Leo to consider: if he kills Bob and is therefore sent to prison for life, then that means Bob won, hm yes?

Anyway, I feel for Leo because I also find Bob so annoying like how the nose needs to be scratched yet my hands are all tied up. What bothers me is the manipulation that allows the characters to feel, think, and do as they please.

So, I don't buy it for one second the wife isn't in tune with her husband's feelings and temperament around certain people. Also, at first, Bob is painted as the villain, and Leo is the willing helper. Then, the table are turned on them as Bob becomes the nice guy and Leo is the bad guy. It's sickening.

Anyway, the important interview? It's horrible and unsubstantial. Funny? It is at times but mostly occurs when Richard Dreyfuss' character loses his mind and yells at Bob. I wondered if that was for real. As a matter of fact, according to Richard Dreyfuss, both of them didn't get along during the filming. Bill Murray? Let's say I like him, but his character is annoying as hell.

All in all, I'm not sure what the filmmakers meant by the question: What About Bob?
