What About Bob? (1991 Frank Oz)

Tom Schulman's screenplay (of Alvin Sargent and Laura Ziskin's story) is pretty lame, really, and not overly blessed with laughs, but the opportunity to see Dreyfuss and Murray perform their shtick together is compelling.

Sargent also co-wrote You've Got Mail, as well as Paper Moon, Bobby Deerfield, Julia, Straight Time, Ordinary People, White Palace, Accidental Hero and several Spider Mans. He and Ziskin were briefly married.

The irony is that the psychiatrist is treating the patient successfully; the humour that the family and the patient bond.

Michael Ballhaus shot it (Florian 1st assistant) and Anne Coates cut it.

"Roses are red, violets are blue,
I'm a schizophrenic, and so am I."
