What About Bob? (1991)
full of hilarity, irony, and wit
I have only met one person in my life who did not find "What About Bob" starring the one and only comedy king Bill Murray, completely and utterly enjoyable and hilarious. The movie starts out with Bob on the way to his new psychiatrist, Dr. Leo Marvin. Bob is a very panicky, nervous, hypochondriac patient, (but very funny!) and that's apparent within the first minute of the movie! Dr. Marvin introduces Bob to a new method of self-discovery and a feeling of control by name of "Baby Steps", Dr. Marvin's new bestselling book. Bob feels so great after this appointment that he can't bear the fact that Dr. Marvin will be gone on vacation for a month. So, Bob, desperate as he is, decides to do whatever it takes to be with Dr. Marvin. After several failed attempts to weasel the information of where he's staying out of Dr. Marvin, he finally hits on one-- a suicide attempt-- and finds out that the residence of his home is at Lake Winnepasakee. So Bob, afraid of being alone, ends up, to the psychiatrist's utter dismay, at the doctor's lake house. Bob innocently becomes the houseguest who always has some reason to stay, will never leave, and greatly endears himself to the family-- all but Dr. Marvin himself. Dr. Marvin will do anything to get rid of Bob, but every time Bob just thinks it's some kind of new therapy. Through the movie, we see Bob without meaning to turning bad into good, while on the other hand gradually driving Dr. marvin to insanity! This movie never gets old. Full of laughs-- a movie you can quote from over and over again. Do yourself a favor and watch it today!
Ferris Bueller's Day Off (1986)
Genuinely, Ingeniously Funny
First of all let me say that this movie is genuinely, ingeniously funny, the watch-it-twelve-times-and-it-never-gets-old kind of movie. I myself have seen it seven and a half times and will probably view it again before the end of summer. The movie stars then 23-year-old Matthew Broderick as 17-year-old Ferris Bueller, a high school student who would like nothing better than to be done with school. So he gives in to a strong temptation to cut class and go to downtown Chicago with friends Cameron and girlfriend Sloane (who he gets out of school extremely cleverly, and quite hilariously i might add!). It doesn't take long for principal Edward Rooney to catch on to Ferris's skipping, so he tries as hard as he can to catch him, but is going on about it quite unsuccessfully. All through the movie we learn of Cameron's struggles with his parents and life itself, and through all the hilarity of the movie Cameron finds a part of himself that he hadn't been able to find before. The movie consists of several several fun scenes, such as the German American Appreciation Day Parade, in which Ferris climbs onto the Great Float and the parade-goers dance to "Danke Schoen" by Wayne Newton and "TWIST AND SHOUT" of course, by the Beatles. Other very important characters are Jeanie Bueller, his revenge-seeking sister who can't seem to understand why Ferris gets away with everything, and Grace, the absent-minded and honest-to-a-fault secretary. There are so many left out parts and characters but to see them all you'll have to watch the movie (you won't regret it!). "Life moves pretty fast. If you don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it." -ferris bueller I give this movie 2 thumbs up, if only i had more hands i could give it a higher rating....
