It’s hard to believe, but What About Bob? is celebrating its 30th anniversary this year!
If you’ve never seen it, add it to your list.
When a needy, obsessive-compulsive, and boundary-pushing patient (Bill Murray) shows up during his psychotherapist’s (Richard Dreyfuss) quaint family vacation (breaking all of the doctor-patient relationship rules), one of them loses their mind… but it’s not who you might expect.
The Best What About Bob? Quotes
This 90s comedy is full of memorable one-liners and classic performances from Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss.
It’s a movie that was a family favorite in our house, with the movie quotes being frequently slipped into everyday conversation (right behind our #1 favorite movie, Jurassic Park, that is…), so I decided to share my favorite quotes with other What About Bob? fans to enjoy.
There are so many memorable quotes from this film, and I’d love to know which is your favorite in the comments!
