Unemployable due to his inability to do things right, Bob (Tom Green) decides to approach jobs by trying them all in alphabetical order. After flunking every A-letter job, he moves on to the B's and ends up working as a butler to Anne Jamieson (Brooke Shields), an overly tidy woman with two children, Tess (Genevieve Buechner) and Bates (Benjamin Smith). The kids take a liking to Bob, despite the fact that he's not the best butler or baby sitter, while Anne slowly realizes the joys of family.

Scott Weinberg DVDTalk.com That assertion that it's made for kids and therefore due for a "break" makes no freaking sense to me. Children deserve better than this garbage. Rated: 1/5 Nov 26, 2005 Full Review Read all reviews

richard m If anyone thought Tom Green should be making feature length film's. not titled 'Pretty Baby' meets the weirdo Michael Jackson'; then this is his lucky day. After Tomorrow..and everyone can write the Film Board de Canada and ask 'why'? (and thanks) Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 12/19/24 Full Review Robert B I sat down and watched the whole thing. It's enjoyable. It's not a masterpiece, I'll make the comparison of movies to food. It's like eating potato chips. Not fulfilling artistically like a dish from a 5 star restaurant, but I like potato chips sometimes. If you've got kids, I think both you and your kids will enjoy watching it together, just don't expect more than what it makes itself out to be. It is not particularly dishonest in its presentation of itself, it knows its place as a movie. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 10/27/24 Full Review Audience Member This movie was a refreshing spin on of some of the older material with very subtle tones, and even a bit of adult humor. The plot line seems to advance quickly but not too quickly, and throws a few logical spins in there, if you're paying close attention and are observant to detail. Overall, a great movie, but definitely not an A lister. Would be great for a mid-day matine. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/25/23 Full Review Audience Member A really good family movie, I started watching this never expecting to finish it but watched it to the end. No surprises just a by the numbers movie but I got sucked in. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member This was a sweet rom-com with a great ending. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member if i could give this movie any lower a rating i would Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Read all reviews
