The comedy works for the most part and it is easy to watch and enjoy due to how light it is. The script is also pretty good and the characters are well-written. There is not too much going on here that differentiates it from other odd couple comedies, so there is not too much to say about this one that has not been said for plenty of other movies. Richard Dreyfuss is fine, though I do wish his character was not so over the top. He plays a good counter to Murray, but his character overdoes is a bit for my liking. The ending is also not very good and is very, very over the top. The whole film is a little odd and unrealistic, but the ending takes it to a whole 'nother level, which is way too much for my liking. The film as a whole is pretty easy watching and not to be taken too seriously, so it is hard to get mad at it, especially since Murray is so great here.… Expand

Because, for me, "What About Bob?" is a bit of a comedic snafu. It's one of those films that has all the pieces seemingly in place for assured comedic greatness (Frank Oz directing, Bill Murray/Richard Dreyfuss co-starring). Unfortunately, though it's also one that just so happens to underdeliver in almost every comedic fashion. What ensues is a blase and stilted film, with a third-act, out-of-left-field twist that I just didn't find funny. I expected a bit from more from everyone involved.… Expand

What About Bob is a brilliant and funny comedy showing one of the better films including Bill Murray. It was funny and I did laugh, however I was laughing in more of a silly way.

Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss are the best reason to watch this film because even though is funny it wasn't a huge comedy.
