This movie simply doesn't work without Richard Dreyfus. His gradual descent into madness is so funny. So many great moments, but my favorite is "It's called death therapy, Bob. It's a guaranteed cure." Another great Dreyfus comedy is "Stakeout".
I'm thinking that his madness could have been genuine. I'm saying that because Richard Dreyfus has said on a few occasions since then that he didn't particularly enjoy working with Bill Murray.
One of the things that makes this movie work so perfectly, is the perfect balance with Richard dreyfus's character. He had to be likable enough and relatable enough that you could feel his pain, and at the same time just enough of a jerk that you could laugh at it.
Lost in Translation is a great movie! But beware it has funny bits but it's not a comedy. I would call it a melancholic drama. Great reactions keep up the good work!
Richard Dreyfuss is like my spirit animal. I love how he's intense, twitchy, driven, exasperated, doesn't always get on with other actors etc. I see myself in him! He tells a story about how Bill Murray went mad at him on set, saying no one likes him, and threw a glass ash tray directly at his head!
Glad you enjoyed the movie, and even though you had some reservations, you went with the story, another channel " Just Summ movies" the wife went the total opposite, he was a mental patient, who very likely unstable and violent, shouldn't be free.😱😱😂😂
Richard Dreyfuss is also excellent in "Close Encounters of the Third Kind (Director's Cut)," "The Goodbye Girl," and "Mr. Holland's Opus," among other classics. He was Hooper in "Jaws."
@@dan_hitchman007fun fact: Spielberg didn’t want Richard Dreyfuss in Close Encounters at first, but every other actor who he asked turned it down so he just settled for Dreyfuss
And if you are still looking for more Carl weathers movies. Happy gilmore(a comedy),Friday foster(he plays a murderer and first film) and action jackson(he plays an action cop)

This was my mother's favorite comedy. I know every line since she watched it so often. It was a nice surprise seeing you react to it. Have you seen any David Lynch films? I think they'd make great reaction videos. Especially Eraserhead or Wild at Heart.
@@ariachanson01Those are super-weird movies! I really loved Wild At Heart after I first watched it, but I was a bit more WTF when I re-watched it. 😂 David Lynch is definitely unique!
"You think he's gone? He's not gone. That's the whole point! He's never gone!" "Is this some radical new therapy?" "YOU SEE?" Fun Fact: Richard Dreyfuss and Bill Murray's favorite movie of their own. Casting Notes Fact: Julie Hagerty is only ten years older than Kathryn Erbe, who played her daughter. Both Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss admitted that they did not get along during filming. Location Location Fact: The vacation house where this was filmed was actually in Virginia on Smith Mountain Lake. For the scene in which the house blows up, producers used a 3/4-sized model replica of the actual house that they detonated on a nearby lot. Financial Success Fact: Director Frank Oz was very concerned the film would flop as he, Bill Murray and Richard Dreyfuss all had different opinions on what would make the movie truly funny. However the film turned out to be a surprising critical and commercial success and was Touchstone Pictures second highest grossing comedy of the year after Father Of The Bride (1991).
Hope you still watch ‘Rocky V’ and ‘Rocky Balboa’. 😃 Btw it’s very good to be open about depression. Nearly everybody gets depressed at least sometimes. Of course some people suffer it a lot more, but modern society snd the internet and smartphones have massively increased depression. But so many people hide it (depression) away, instead of being open and honest. If you broke your arm you wouldn’t hide it, you’d be honest about it and ask for help and they’d be no shame about that. The exact same applies with depression. There’s no shame about having depression - that’s complete nonsense. Some things that doctors/psychologists say can be a big help: daily exercise (even just walking outside 5 or 10 minutes every day is good), and also vitamin D with K2 (taking that every day). Both exercise and vitamin D help regulate our hormones. Just thought I’d mention that. Our bodies naturally produce vitamin D if we get enough sunlight, but if we don’t get enough sunlight then our bodies can’t produce the vitamin D we need to regulate our hormones and make us feel good. God bless you!
I love how this slowly escalates into Bugs Bunny territory with the dynamite. There aren't enough comedies anymore where someone is driven insane by the unfairness of the universe. Followup recommendation: Bill Murray's most underappreciated classic comedy is "Quick Change" with Geena Davis. He's a bank robber.
Yeah it sucks that this movie wasn’t bigger than it was, it flew under the radar and wasn’t as famous as other Bill Murray movies like Ghostbusters or Groundhog Day
I saw this in the theater with my high school best friend. We still quote this movie to each other 33 years later. Especially the, "I'm sailing! I'm sailing! A'hoy!" Absolutely hilarious movie. I'd put this in my top 3 funniest movies ever made. Love your reactions ❤️ always.
One of the things Richard Dreyfuss infused into Dr. Leo Marvin is the "slow burn." He could do it on command on big scales and small. He'll start off as a smolder in town, then flare up at Bob. Then back at the house, he starts off at a smolder, gets hotter, then flares up, each one getting hotter and hotter. The only two other examples I can think of is Judge Smails from Caddyshack, and actor Jackie Gleason, in almost any role he wanted to. Judge Smails started his slow burn by getting angry at a simple LAMP placed between him and another character, Danny. It got worse over the course of the movie. Jackie Gleason was perfecting his slow burn before color TV was even invented, but a good modern example is his Buford T. Justice character in the movie, Smokey and the Bandity, 2nd highest grossing movie of 1977, behind Star Wars.
This movie is pretty funny bill and richard didn't get along while filming this but that's why they work really well together in this but he kept bullying richard behind the scenes
@@JeremyAustin-hw1qy yes, everybody who has ever worked with Bill Murray has said he’s an asshole… Chevy Chase, Richard Dreyfuss, Lucy Liu, Harold Ramis
love your reactions , hope you feel better soon , have you watched falling down, batman 1989 + batman returns , the crow , scareface and fright night 1+2 yet ? if not , you really should check them out ;)
One of my favorites. Actually like Richard Dreyfuss in this one. I think this character is close to his true personality. The buzz is he bugged Spielberg so much he put him in the movie Jaws. Launching his career.
Richard Dreyfuss genuinely hated Bill Murray during the making of this film, so much of his acting may not be acting. Saying that, no-one ever seems to talk about Richard Dreyfuss anymore, it's like he's been forgotten so here's a few suggestions for reactions: Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977), Stakeout (1987) and Always (1989). Those should redress the balance a little.
My guess is he didn’t like all the attention Bob was getting, he must be thinking “this guy is mentally ill, he is not intelligent, why do my kids think he is better than me” and all that I guess. But I might be wrong😂
