Dreyfuss' fall from grace into madness is priceless, and Murray's character is so maddening I would probably have tried to kill him myself. Funny movie.

A madman stalks and torments his therapist, good times. Silly and ludacris situations aside, Dreyfuss and Murray really sell this, which makes it pretty entertaining.

I'd go so far as to say that this movie bridged the styles of 80s and 90s comedies quite handily. It's hilarious and if you're doing a class on film history, check this out if you've never seen it.

Hilarious comedy is Murray's best vehicle, and he's matched by Dreyfuss as the psychologist at wits end. Funny all the way through with some truly hilarious sequences. One of the rare comedies that doesn't compromise itself by trying to be more than what it is--- which may be it's greatest asset (aside from the two leads, of course).

Pitched somewhat awkwardly between a black comedy and a family film, W.A.B? gets by on the strength of its cast, despite its unfortunate descent into cartoonish farce in its lousy third act. Murray and Dreyfuss' mutual dislike of each other probably helped intensify their scenes together, and it's always fun watching Dreyfuss blow his lid, especially in tailor made comedic roles. Murray effectively tones down his persona to play a hopeless neurotic, and there are a few big laughs.

Bill Murray is great, but not in this movie. He's essentially terrible. But man, have you seen the 80's Razor's Edge remake? That movie, wow, way up its own ass. AND IT'S STILL GREAT, because Bill Murray is the freaking man. What About Bob? sucks though. Bad. It's essentially terrible. Bill Murray cashes a check. Fun for the whole family.

You know those times when Bill Murray was nominated for an Oscar, but lost and he sat there with such a look of disdain on his face towards the Academy because they didn't choose him? Well Bill, this film is the reason you'll never win an Oscar. Not winning is payback for making a lot of people watch this annoyingly unfunny film.

While Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss show some decent acting chops, this really isn't that funny of a movie. These were the kind of roles that these two guys would normally get so that tin a way these roles would fit like a glove. I wasn't too impressed with the rest of the cast though. Nothing special here but would almost cross the line of annoying.

It says something about how immersed I've been in the world of SNL that I was unable to watch this without constantly thinking of Darrell Hammond's pitch perfect Richard Dreyfuss impression. The movie itself is nothing special and the entire course of the plot can be predicted within the first fifteen minutes, but there are funny moments and Murray is dependably entertaining.

Well it's a good-old-fashioned kind of comedy movie for the whole family. Bill Murray is not bad in it, but it somehow doesn't feel like "a Bill Murray movie." More like a comedy that just happened to feature him in a starring role. Of course, this was back in the days when he would do a lot more general comedies, and not just movies made by good friends of his, such as Wes Anderson.

Estreava há 30 anos no Brasil. Vi esse filme por diversas vezes na sessão da tarde dos anos 90, mas nunca tinha visto desde que cursei psicologia e acho que as coisas ficam ainda mais engraçadas se sabemos os entreveros éticos psicanalíticos da relação mostrada no filme, mas sabemos também que o analista tá bem fora da casinha há muitos anos, já que tipo de profissional coloca os nomes dos filhos de Sigmund e Anna? Não dá para saber qual dos dois é mais narcisista, sátira fíniss
