Enjoy Gorton’s annual Summer family movie in our John & Nancy Hughes Theater!

Get ready for a night of laughter and chaos at Gorton Center as we present the comedy classic What About Bob?, directed by Frank Oz. This film takes the idea of a relaxing family vacation and turns it upside down in the most hilariously unexpected ways.

The story follows Dr. Leo Marvin, a successful and tightly wound psychotherapist who is eagerly looking forward to a peaceful getaway with his family. But his plans go awry when Bob Wiley, one of his most clingy and neurotic patients, shows up uninvited at his vacation home. Bob’s eccentric charm and unshakable enthusiasm quickly win over the townspeople—and even Dr. Marvin’s family—leaving the doctor increasingly exasperated and unraveling by the minute.

Full of outrageous situations, sharp wit, and unforgettable moments, What About Bob? is a masterclass in comedic timing. The film brilliantly explores the clash between order and chaos, with Bob’s unpredictable behavior pushing Dr. Marvin to the edge. As the summer unfolds, roles begin to reverse in the most amusing ways.

This film is a crowd-pleasing favorite that blends heart, humor, and a touch of absurdity, making it the perfect pick for a community movie night. Whether you’ve seen it before or are experiencing it for the first time, What About Bob? promises big laughs and classic 90s charm.
