Why do you want to join the "What About Bob?" Fan Club? I LOVE "What About Bob"! I've watched it over 3 times!
Who's your favorite character in "What About Bob?" A tie between Bob and Dr. Leo Marvin.
Why is this character your favorite? I liked Bob because he was just so...NEEDY! Not to mention funny.
And Dr. Marvin was hillarious because he got mad really easily, and he hated Bob. What would you, personally, rate the movie on a 1 to 5 star scale? Hm...4 and a half. Would've been 5, but the movie did have a lot of cursing, which I'm not a fan of.

Plot: Bob Wiley is a good-natured man who suffers from multiple phobias. He feels good about the results of an initial session with Dr. Leo Marvin, a New York psychiatrist with a huge ego, but is immediately left on his own with a copy of Leo’s new book, "Baby Steps", when the doctor goes on vacation to Lake Winnipesaukee. Unable to cope, Bob follows Leo to his vacation home in New Hampshire. Bob’s stay in town is facilitated by the Guttmans, a couple who hold a grudge against Leo because he purchased the home they had been saving to buy.
Leo refuses to treat Bob while on vacation and attempts to avoid any further contact, but Bob gets along fine with the rest of Leo’s family and continues to socialize with them.
Will Leo cure Bob, or will Bob send Leo over the edge?

Production Notes: The movie was filmed in and around the town of Moneta, Virginia located on Smith Mountain Lake. Production had to go south because at the real Lake Winnipesaukee in New Hampshire, the leaves were already turning for the fall season. While there is a lake in New Hampshire named Winnipesaukee, there is no town by that name (as the film implies). This generated chuckles in lake area movie cinemas where the film was shown. Filming lasted from August 27- November 21 1990.
The house used in the filming still stands. The exploding house was a prop house built for the explosion on a nearby lake front lot; the local inhabitants gathered to watch the explosion from land and boats.
The scenes of Bob arriving in town on the bus with his goldfish, Gill, were filmed in downtown Moneta, which was spruced up and repainted for the movie.
The local institute which Leo tries to commit Bob in is actually the local Elks Home for retirees in the nearby town of Bedford, Virginia.
Originally director Frank Oz had Woody Allen in mind for the role of Dr. Leo Marvin, given Allen's reputation for quirkiness in his films. Allen declined the role, and Richard Dreyfuss ultimately was cast.
Photos (with captions inspired by the movie) :
((This one came with a caption.
)) "Oh. So you're Betty."
"And now, to 'Good Morning America'..."
"I will call you at 4 o'clock."
"Hey...do you wanna go sailing with me and my friends, Bob?"
"LOOK! Dr. Marvin! I'M SAILING! I SAIL!"
"ISN'T THIS PROGRESS?!"
"Take a vacation...from my problems?"
"Gimme, Gimme, Gimme! I need, I need, I need!"
"Aw. Look at 'im! He's so happy!"
"See? I am on vacation!"
"All right, all right. I know what to do!"
Gil, Bob, and "Baby Steps".
