Before going on vacation, self-involved psychiatrist Dr. Leo Marvin has the misfortune of taking on a new patient: Bob Wiley. An exemplar of neediness and a compendium of phobias, Bob follows Marvin to his family's country house. Dr. Marvin tries to get him to leave; the trouble is, everyone loves Bob. As his oblivious patient makes himself at home, Dr. Marvin loses his professional composure and, before long, may be ready for the loony bin himself.

The comedy derives from Dreyfuss's methodical descent into madness. Camerawork & lighting are exciting for the genre. It is underrated.

Another classic “the two lead actors really hated each other IRL and we are so much richer for it” movie, but this time a comedy

Hilarious, can expect to laugh out loud the whole way, yet gets surprisingly dark but in a good way. Definitely recommend if not seen.

Bill Murray is a hoot as always & the banter between him and Dreyfus’s is legendary. The ultimate story of dealing with annoyance.

You can’t convince me they didn’t just film Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss on set and call it a day.

The comedic banter between Murray and Dreyfuss is legendary, and difficult to match today.
