But it wasn't much kop. The acting is great, the premise is unusual, but the lines just aren't up to it. Bill Murray is a comedy genius, but even he can't generate many laughs. Don't get me wrong, it's not dismal. It's just not really funny.

What about Bob is a funny comedy film starring Bill Murray at the top of his game. Murray plays a cook patient of Dreyfuss and the entire film is them going at each other. This is a great early 90s film- rather telling of its time. The film stock, the locations and clothing is dripping with nostalgia. Bill Murray is excellent and Dreyfuss more than holds his own. If you like comedies then this film will appeal to you. Great family entertainment.

For starters this movie is so funny I was convinced I was having a heart-attack, but that's not the point I'm going to make. Murray makes this movie funny, but Dreyfuss makes it hilarious. At the beginning Bob is the crazy one, but slowly the tables are turned and Dreyfuss becomes the crazy one. Dreyfuss aces the role of a completely sane guy descending into madness and his tantrums are gold. I've seen this movie a few times, first time I laughed at Murray most, the second time Dreyfuss. Apparently the two didn't get along on set, but on screen the chemistry is almost perfect. Bit of trivia to finish off, I read a book on psychology not long ago and it specifically references this movie to being a guide for teaching depressed people on how to change, using Bob as a model patient.

Murray meanders through the material here in goofy fashion, while Dreyfuss is about three seconds away from a heart attack. There are some fun moments, but altogether, where is it going? Director Oz tries to show us a madcap look into human illness, but it doesn't hold up for an entire movie. Someone should have taken some "baby steps" to a better story idea...or at least a better conclusion.

One of the best comedies of ALL time. It is pure classic comedy with a heartwarming storyline that can be watched over and over, without losing any lustre. Dreyfuss is surprisingly brilliant as the tense and rapidly unraveling Doctor, and Murray plays his funniest and most unforgettable character - the very charming and loveable Bob. There are some wonderful support characters too - especially the morbid son of the doctor, played perfectly by a young Charlie Korsmo. If you don't laugh at this, you don't have a soul.

Famous New York psychiatrist Richard Dreyfuss cannot shake the titled character (Bill Murray) in this hit-and-miss comedy. Dreyfuss and his family go on vacation to Murray's despair and he decides to track the good doctor down and make his life a living hell. Naturally everyone else loves Murray, but Dreyfuss slowly becomes the crazy one as Murray's antics come through fast and furious. 2.5 out of 5 stars.
