Synopsis
What About Bob? (1991) is a Frank Oz comedy you can watch online on iFILM. Smug psychiatrist Dr. Leo Marvin picks up a new patient right before his vacation: Bob Wiley, a walking catalog of phobias who's scared of nearly everything and clings to anyone who shows him a scrap of kindness.
Marvin heads off to his family's lake house in New Hampshire dreaming of peace and quiet. Then Bob tracks down where his beloved doctor is staying and turns up uninvited. Here's the catch: Bob instantly wins over the whole family. Marvin's wife feeds him, the kids trail after him, and he settles in like he owns the place. The calmer and happier the patient gets, the faster the psychiatrist unravels, until patient and doctor have all but swapped roles. Bill Murray plays the inescapable Bob, Richard Dreyfuss the doctor on the verge of a breakdown, and the movie lives on that duel.
There's really one joke here, but it's polished to a shine: a sane man slowly cracking under someone else's smothering goodwill. It's for anyone who loves Murray in gentle-nightmare mode and never tires of comedies about one impossible houseguest. Stream What About Bob? (1991) online on iFILM.
