Absolutely Fantastic
... View MoreEasily the biggest piece of Right wing non sense propaganda I ever saw.
... View MoreThe plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one
... View MoreAn old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.
... View MoreI thought this movie had more different jokes compared to usual comedy movies. They mixed it up pretty good, with predictable scenes and unexpected actions. It was really entertaining to watch and the whole "butler" theme was super serious! That's what I really liked. I didn't give it a full 10, since it is pretty predictable, but it is hard to make those kinds of movies nowadays. And the times when you could tell what was going to happen, they added a little twist to it. The actors are also very easy to believe in and trust. You can notice how much work they've put in the movie. Definitely worth watching, if you have some time to spare and need a laugh.
... View Morei can sheepishly admit, i am a fan of Tom Green. Whether it's Organized Rhyme, his own "The Tom Green Show" both pre and post MTV, or his first forays into film, "Freddy Got Fingered", "Road Trip", and 'The Chad' in "Charlie's Angels", I look forward to watching what he will do next.With this in mind, I can honestly say, "Bob the Butler" is a horrible film, whether you like Green or not, whether you like movies or not, or whether you have a pulse or not.What i enjoy about Green is his ability to find humour in such simple things as a cheese sandwich. i love watching him interact with others, altering the everyday altercation with either a minute change of pace, or a major social faux pas, both played with deadpan mock seriousness.What i don't particularly like about Green is when the joke runs too long, or the joke isn't funny to begin with. The nice thing about all the aforementioned resume bits of Green was quick editing in mind, or jokes that, if they weren't funny, they were bizarre enough to shock you or make you think. Bob the Butler is devoid of any of these things.The film takes the premise that Green's character cannot hold a job, until he finds himself as a butler for an oddly cast, anal retentive, control freak Brooke Shields. What ensues is a bland, run of the mill, stereotypical movie about a babysitter who is not liked by the kids until they eventually warm up and want the babysitter to be their parent, who is missing out on the kids until they realize too late that the fired babysitter was actually better for the kids than their own parenting.What's so disappointing is not just the rehash family film formula. It's that Green is as far removed from this type of thing than any comedian, that any hope for him messing within the parameters of this formula is never realized. The opening cartoon credits, if filmed as a live action weekly series staring Green, would be so much better than this boring, uneventful snooze fest. Three things Green has never been accused of, until now. Perhaps that's why he did it.Grade: D-
... View MoreI was expecting a very crude movie. Our kids wanted to see it, but we have a rule that any thing rated above a G has to be watched by my husband and I first. I was surprised it was a good family movie. It was by no means Oscar quality but it was a movie that my husband and I had fun watching and so did our 7 children. I plan on adding it to our families movie library. I'm a big Brook fan and was happy to see her in something again. It did have some small off color moments. However, it was much better then most movies that are out right now. I would definitely recommend it to any Family. It's not very often we find a movie that my husband and I really like and so do all the children.
... View MoreIt starts out humorous then builds up until Bob enters the modern day home. Pops is missing, dead or divorced. Bob instantly develops a father type relationship with the two kids, boy and girl. They hit it off pretty good. Of course mom played by Brooke Shields is a working mom caught up in working and forgetting about here kids. After some good deeds covered up and hidden away from mom. Gets Bob fired for the millionth time. However Bob knows everybody because of his million jobs that he has held. After he gets canned by ignorant mom. Bob hangs in here though and lands a Job on a Butler cruise ship. After mom finally wakes up and realizes that the man she has seeking after has been under her nose the whole time. In the end love triumphs and all ends happily with the turkey blowing up. All in all it was cute and funny and worth watching. Some good laughs and good moral stories to be taught and told.
