🎬 What About Bob? 2 (2025)
👉 Bill Murray, Richard Dreyfuss, Julie Hagerty
Vacation ruined. Sanity shattered. But some patients never go away.
Decades after their infamous summer together, Dr. Leo Marvin (Richard Dreyfuss) is still trying to rebuild his career — and his peace of mind. Once a respected psychotherapist, Leo has retreated into semi-retirement, convinced that no nightmare could ever match the trauma of his clingiest, quirkiest patient: Bob Wiley (Bill Murray). But when Bob unexpectedly resurfaces, older, seemingly wiser, and claiming to have “moved on,” Leo’s worst fears come roaring back to life.
This time, however, the tables have turned. Bob, now a bestselling self-help guru with a devoted following, insists he owes his success to Dr. Marvin’s “unique methods” — an announcement that throws Leo’s fragile ego into chaos. Invited to a national therapy conference where Bob is the keynote speaker, Leo reluctantly attends, determined to expose his former patient as a fraud. But Bob, with his bumbling charm, neurotic honesty, and uncanny ability to win over every crowd, once again becomes the star… while Leo’s composure unravels in spectacular, hilarious fashion.
Julie Hagerty returns as Fay Marvin, still the voice of reason as Leo spirals out of control, and now watching with bemusement as Bob inserts himself not just into her family’s life, but into the entire world of modern psychology. What begins as a professional rivalry escalates into a full-blown meltdown, as Leo struggles to prove he’s the doctor — not the patient.
With Bill Murray delivering neurotic brilliance and Richard Dreyfuss perfecting the art of the slow-motion breakdown, What About Bob? 2 doubles down on the slapstick, satire, and biting wit of the original. Under Frank Oz’s sharp comedic lens, the sequel explores fame, therapy culture, and the absurd lengths we go to for validation.
Madcap, neurotic, and endlessly quotable, What About Bob? 2 reminds us of one timeless truth: sometimes, the cure is crazier than the disease.
