I recently watched the movie on YouTube for the first time. I thought it was great, but didn't think it was funny. I know it's a comedy, and I read the online reviews about how hilarious it is. Instead, I found myself thinking about all the issues it raised, such as boundaries, transference, relationships between client and T, and T competence. I wonder if anyone else had this reaction to What About Bob? I wonder if people in therapy react differently from those who are not. I thought it was a wonderful movie, and I know it's "just a movie", but maybe Bob struck too close to home for me. Idk.
