What About Bob? Reviews
This is a comedy? Dementia is an insidious and terrible disease, and Hollywood seems to find it very laughable. [Full review in Spanish]

What About Bob? is carried, almost single-handedly, by a peak performance by Murray, whose work here is the equal of his turns in Ghostbusters or Caddyshack.
| Original Score: 7/10 | Jul 8, 2019
Murray and Dreyfuss play off each other to their maximum advantage: Murray does what he does best, to shine-on and ultimately destroy authority figures, while Dreyfuss' portrayal of the runty doctor is splendidly Napoleonic.

...an affable endeavor that isn't quite the comedy classic one might've anticipated.
| Original Score: 2.5/4 | Nov 4, 2017
Essentially a two-man comedy riff, of the sort we see less and less at the movies.
| Original Score: B+ | Dec 29, 2015
Appealingly silly romp for kids and adults.
| Original Score: 4/5 | Jan 2, 2011
Murray, with his curious blend of pathos and aggressiveness, is terrific, and so is an acutely uptight Dreyfuss, never once copping a plea for our sympathy.

Its less is more approach makes for a brilliantly constructed plot in which Murray becomes more and more obnoxious and Dreyfuss is gradually driven to distraction by his eccentric little ways.

This cruel but effective black comedy violates credibility at almost every turn, but the concept itself is so strong hat it winds up working pretty well anyway.

A modern-day comedy in the grand tradition of the best screwball comedies of the late 1930s and early 40s.
| Original Score: 3/4 | Mar 13, 2007
Bill Murray finds a real showcase for his oft-shackled talent in this manic comedy.

Murray nicely shelves his wise-guy persona in a winning comedy.

A delightful annoying-person comedy made even more amusing by the fact that Murray and Dreyfuss couldn't stand one another in real life.

With Dreyfuss and Murray on top form, not even the familiar plotline -- uptight rich person meets free-wheeling poor person and learns about life -- can prevent this lunatic comedy from being funny.
