this play like a long situation comedy and except that after the first few minute any basis in reality and no matter how exaggerated and be lose . bill murray and a bob and suffers from multiple phobia and and after an initial brief interview with psychiatrist dr. leo marvin ( richard dreyfus ) and he become so dependent on him that he pursue him to where the marvin family be away on vacation . to set up the premise of the movie murray play bob initially a mentally disturbed and but his personality quickly change into that of an irritating and socially inept child . bob ingratiate himself with marvin family while in the meantime drive marvin nut . unfortunately i come to view bob pretty much a dr. marvin do his behavior be totally inappropriate and i wish he would just go away . it be beyond me why marvin family do not also feel this way . in an era when the work of freud have be greatly discredit this movie seem compel to propagate the stereotypical image of a psychiatrist a one who worship at the foot of the master and have bust of him in his office and in his vacation home and and even name his child sigmund and anna . thing turn absurdly silly toward the end . outside of it contrive humor not be particularly funny and the reason i really dislike this film be it portrayal of mental illness for humorous effect . anyone who have know a phobic person understand the pain and suffering cause by the illness and know that there be no cure by take a few baby step over a period of a few day and a imply in this film . the same criticism go for make fun of tourette disorder .
