August 15, June 21, Chicago Reader. TV Guide. Common Sense Says Appealingly silly romp for kids and adults. Parents need to know that this movie contains a mild amount of profanity, much of it delivered in scenes mocking Tourette's Syndrome.
The profanity is silly, with insults like "testicle head" and "barf-breathed douche mouth" predominating; nonetheless, it may be too much for some kids and parents. Leo expects to mesmerize his family with his prowess as a brilliant husband and remarkable father who knows all there is to know about instructing Faye and raising Anna and Sigmund. But Bob isn't going to let him enjoy a quiet summer by the lake. By cleverly tricking the telephone operator at Leo's exchange, Bob discovers the whereabouts of him and his family.
Despite his phobia about traveling alone, Bob somehow manages to talk himself onto a bus, and he arrives in New Hampshire. Leo's vacation comes to a screeching halt the moment he sees him. With his witty personality, his ability to manipulate people, and his good sense of humor, he quickly becomes an annoyance to Leo, but not to Faye, Anna, and Sigmund, because they think he is fun while Leo is dull.
Fearing that he's losing his family to him, Leo frantically tries to find a way to make him go back to New York City, and it's not as easy as he had hoped.
He finds himself stepping outside the law to try to get Bob to stay away from Faye, Anna, and Sigmund--he slowly goes berserk, and makes plans to kill Bob. Bob's a special kind of friend. The kind that drives you crazy!
Did you know Edit. Trivia In interviews both Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss admitted that they did not get along during filming. Goofs Gil the goldfish changes species throughout the film. Quotes Dr. User reviews Review. Top review. Funny And Nice. Bob is a great character in how he endlessly annoys and irritates Leo. Murray does a great job with his role. The Bob character brings a lot of laughs to the film. A personal highlight of mine is the shirt that he adorns and his reaction to the idea of it.
On the downside, there is nothing that really feels new with this movie. Don't get me wrong, it is a very good story, but it just felt like something I have seen a dozen times before. This movie is definitely a nice watch and will leave you feeling good and happy.
Worth a watch, especially for the brilliance of Murray. Details Edit. Release date May 17, United States. United States. Touchstone Pictures Touchwood Pacific Partners 1. Box office Edit. Technical specs Edit.
