Movie Review: What About Bob?

What About Bob? by Buena Vista Home Entertainment

Recommended For: Ages 10 to Adult

Rated: PG for mild language

Determined to receive treatment, a neurotic New Yorker struggling with a host of phobias follows his psychiatrist on vacation in this quirky comedy.

This movie was funny. I enjoyed it very much. It had me in stitches almost the whole time.

Technical: 5/5
The technical aspects of this movie were good.  Acting, special effects, writing, all well-done, although I'm not really a good judge on that sort of stuff. I really don't notice bad acting and such that much.

Setting: 5/5

To be honest, there wasn't much to the setting. What there was of it, however, was well-done. Set in New York City and at a vacation spot in New Hampshire, this movie is very real-world. I would have liked to see more of the town near where they were staying, but even so, I have to give the setting 5 out of 5.

Plot: 5/5
The plot is very interesting. There isn't much to it, as is typical with comedies, but it was enjoyable just the same. The climax was especially interesting, although I won't spoil it for anyone.

Characters: 5/5
The characters excelled. Bob was quirky and funny, the psychiatrist interesting, and the others well-rounded. The characters are very rich, and will connect with the viewers. I especially enjoyed how as Bob became less crazy and fulfilled his character arc, his psychiatrist became crazy as he just couldn't stand Bob anymore!

I loved this movie. Although containing mild language, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a funny movie for movie night.
