Overview
Before going on vacation, self-involved psychiatrist Dr. Leo Marvin has the misfortune of taking on a new patient: Bob Wiley. An exemplar of neediness and a compendium of phobias, Bob follows Marvin to his family's country house. Dr. Marvin tries to get him to leave; the trouble is, everyone loves Bob. As his oblivious patient makes himself at home, Dr. Marvin loses his professional composure and, before long, may be ready for the loony bin himself.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A relentless comedy of escalating annoyance where a neurotic patient's cheerful neediness systematically dismantles his uptight psychiatrist's carefully ordered life. It's the kind of film where watching someone slowly lose their mind is exactly the joke.
