This is one of my favorite Bill Murray roles of all time! Thank you for your wonderful energy and for posting these reaction videos. So glad to find your channel!
lol you were accurate on so many of your guesses there. Probably my favorite Dreyfuss or Bill Murray comedy. Dreyfuss is also terrific in both the first and the 2nd 'Stake Out' films. He and Emilio Estevez made for a terrific comedy duo.
I think the term for this kind of movie you're looking for is "screwball comedy" where an absurd plot just sort of unfolds in front of us with little rhyme or reason to it. Those types of comedies were invented and popularized in the 1930s and 1940s, but saw a brief resurgence in the 80s thanks to actors like Bill Murray, John Candy, Dan Ackroyd and Steve Martin.
@@latenightswithsammy Great minds think alike!! 🧠 😄 Really enjoyed your running commentary while watching. So much fun. Thanks so much for the reply. Keep up the great work!!
Here's how much I love this movie: I don't care for POP Figures, but I do own two, my favorite Naruto character, and Bob Wiley, specifically from the "I'm Sailing!" scene. Also I bought the film on Laserdisc format a few years back. It's a stellar comedy starring two great actors in two of their best roles.
I remember when this came out.. I was in my teens.. I was a huge Bill Murray fan.. and I was stoked for it. Which is why I was shocked when I left the theater not liking it. And I still don't. It baffles me.. I love Frank Oz, as a director, actor, and as a Muppeteer. I love Bill, Dreyfuss, and the rest of the cast. The reason why I don't think it works is... Bill is good at a very specific type.. snarky, smarmy, asshole characters that are usually the smartest guys in the room. Whenever he plays a "hapless", "dumb", or "unaware" character... to me, it comes off like he's in on the joke or is "above" the material. I never believe for a second that Bob is sincere.. it feels like he's trolling the entire time.. which if true, means Bob is a psychopath. For me, the comedy only truly works if Bob has no idea how obnoxious he is, but Bill leans into the dickishness with a knowing smirk.. and it kills it for me.
That's an interesting take! I could defiantly see more of the 'trolling' side ... which as you said, makes him a psychopath. And I agree that now as I'm seeing more and more Bill Murray films, he does fit a very specific type ... and it is hard seeing him go the complete opposite in this film ... his face is just too smart and sarcastic to be, as you said 'hapless' 🤣 🤣
The John Candy film you may be thinking of is The Great Outdoors, also starring Dan Ackroyd. Really funny film. Great reaction to this hilarious movie! Richard Dreyfuss is such a versatile actor. I've never really been a fan of Bill Murray, though some of his movies are entertaining. I appreciate all the content you create for us!
Thank you so much, Annie, for the kind words of support! And thank you for recommending 'The Great Outdoors' as well ... going to check it out at some point 😊
Your enjoyment of my favorite comedy was so fun. I never thought of Bob as a sinister figure, as some suggest. He is an intelligent man who is not above using situations to get his way. But his sincerity shines through. Thanks. I’m still laughing.
That's true! He didn't really do anything with malice or evil intent .. and yes, just thinking of this film makes me laugh too 😂 Thanks for writing in!
Around 30:20 you mention "Maybe there are clues that he is a con artist". I don't think there are many, but one scene stands out to me: when Bob walks through the door of the vacation home to get his fish he says "Gill?" and looks at Leo quite aggressively. It doesn't fit in with his persona imo.
Starring Richard Dreyfuss and Bill Murray as a shrink whose patient is agoraphobic practically afraid of just about everything. Spending a summer with Dreyfuss, Murray gets better whereas Dreyfuss is losing his mind...literally
I think the cartoon face was a great bit. Kinda had you think of other creative ways to keep viewers entertained(trivia box, bear in the background, funny-meter, etc). Still subbed and looking forward to your channel growth! No doubt it will climb up!
Hey Frankster! Yes, indeed! I love trying out creative ideas and seeing whether other people dig it as well! And to that, as you've listed are just some of the ways I've been able to get the noodles in my head, on screen! There'll always be something fresh ... by proxy, cause that's just how my brain works 🤣 And thank you so much for your kind words and support!
According to insiders behind-the-scene these two couldn't stand each other in real life Bill and Richard did not get along and the director did not help the situation any and he probably use their dislike for the hilarious outcome. Cuz if you look at certain scenes you can really see Richard Dreyfuss has anger it's so like real part of them we're not acting in this movie part of this stuff was real that's what makes it even funnier.
Well ... I have watched a lot of movies, so I do have an "amateur" spidey-sense for "plot twists" ... haha I don't think a "pre-meditated" reaction is possible too 🤣
Disappointed !!! Too many critical parts were cut out and unnesseccarly shortened and you babble on and on and on !!! In the end I was simply annoid !!!!!😐😐😐😐😐
I appreciate your honest feedback, and am saddened that you were annoyed/disappointed. There's only so much of the footage I can show before it gets a copyright notice, hence why clips are shortened. And in regards to the babbling, it's something I've been made known of on couple of different episodes, it is actively something I'm trying to balance and improve upon.
@@latenightswithsammy I do apologize for being a little rough on you you just got me on a bad day !!! There were some good critical parts you did go past which probably bothered me more then your over communication !!!! When you across a funny or good part you seem to have a tendency to not let it finish out and edit it right in the middle of it !!!! I did seriously question the editing !!! Nothing intended to knock you down , I'm just picky !!!
I can't watch this movie without quoting along to the whole thing. My favorite line is Getoutofthecar! 😂😂
🤣🤣 - it is such a good film!
I think you mean "GETTATAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" 🤣🤣

The picture is so FUN! And thank you so much for the support, and tuning in Kristin 😆

I really enjoyed this. So much more than with the cartoon face. Kudos to you for facing that fear/hesitation. You are a great reactor. Keep it up
Lori ... Thank you so freaking much for writing this. Your words of support and kindness are very much appreciated ☺️ thank you!

Yes! Thank you so much for bringing this up ☺️
Or “slapstick”?
You will like Bill Murray's "The Man Who Knew Too Little"
Yes! I've heard really good things about it ☺️
You mentioned that Monk has a similar energy… There’s a similar energy in the movie “Dirty Rotten Scoundrels” as well, in my mind…
Exactly the film I thought about while watching this 😆

Just Googled the figure! It looks awesome 😆 And to that you have the Laserdisc ... great collection!
Inspector Cluso and Chief Dreyfus.

Yes my guy big step showing your face
Great move for the channel
I could not have done it without you and the (small) community's support! Thank you for rocking with me!

"Big bear. Big bear."
Actually, i suspect it might be Planes, Trains, & Automobiles he's thinking of... where everything just continues to get worse the whole film.

And what a handsome face it is ❤
Aww ... thank you 😊

Ooh .. 'Being There' looks interesting! Thank you for these recommendations Satch 😀

Yes. I have a recommendation. "Second Hand Lions" staring Robert Duvall, Michael Caine, Kyra Sedgwick. It is a comedy and more.
Wow! Thank you so much for the recommendation + support Robert 🙂

Where would you rank 'What About Bob?' among Bill Murray's other comedies?
#1
Number one for me too.
The Very Best
Right Thier With Peter Sellers "Pink Panther" Movies!!!; please Review these Movies...
Top. This is a dark classic. I think bob was a sociopathic genius
Quick change , is bill Murray movie worth watching
NICE! Thank you so much for the recommendation. It's officially on the list now 😊
first time watching my ass ! you cant guess every plot twist. ...bs
Well ... I have watched a lot of movies, so I do have an "amateur" spidey-sense for "plot twists" ... haha I don't think a "pre-meditated" reaction is possible too 🤣
I mean it’s not like you can’t see the plot coming?! It unwraps itself quite nicely.
It’s a classic, “Set, SPIKE!” setup, in my opinion
