The plot is about Tom Stansfield, that is working for some big publishing company. He has some great ideas for books, but is afraid of his boss, who happens to be a huge monster. At one point he starts to like this girl, who also works for the company. She asks Tom if he could watch her and her fathers house for her when she goes to a party. It just so happens that her father is Tom Stansfield's boss.
Of course, Tom gets himself into numerous "hilarious" situations, which we all have seen dozens of times before. It's somewhat similar to Home Alone, in the way that Tom gets unexpected visits from a dozen uninvited guests that stir up some "fun" situations.
I found myself extremely annoyed at Ashton Kutchers character. Because he was never developed, and all he ever did was getting yelled at by different people, and never has the courage to stand up for himself. Instead he just utters a couple of lines and accepts what's happening to him. This kind of cheap character development is extremely annoying. In the end scene he just "pops" up and suddenly he has developed and is brave enough to stand up for himself (how this happens, we never know).
The jokes are old, the movie is short, the plot is weak, the actors are crap, everything about this film is below par. Add to that that this so called "comedy" actually makes you depressed! That, if anything, warrants a "Extremely Bad Comedy" stamp.
I give it a 3/10. We've seen it ALL before. Absolutely nothing new. And nothing funny...
Knowing the ending won't make a difference. If you're going to see this, don't let anyone tell you the gags. That and the acting are what pull this movie along.
At such, it gives out couple of laughs, but most of the jokes you can see coming from far and it really isn't anything very original. It does however have couple of scenes that did got me by surprise, so I'd guess it's not so predictable as the most of the movies of this genre.
Ashton Kutcher is Tom, who by mistakes is baby sitting his obnoxious boss's (Terence Stamp)owl and house. Things start to happen and hell breaks loose. Nothing actually makes sense, but so what? It's not supposed to. Tom of course is in panic, because he's in love with Lisa (unbelievebly bad actor Tara Reid), the boss's daughter.
Watch it and forget about it and don't get angry even thought you would be in the groups insulted by this flicks: there are so much better insulting comedies to get mad to.
