Mjeteconer Just perfect...
GazerRise Fantastic!
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Crwthod A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.
tiagofeits I don't get why the hate over this movie. Comedy is a genre to watch without compromise, you're there to laugh, and have some fun! This one gives you just that. Terrence Stamp shines along with Ashton, they're the stars. Ashton is the kind of guy who people relies to cover their butts, he's timid, reliable, and often gets little credit for his efforts. His boss is, well, every worker's nightmare, and the contrast of them both is what makes the movie enjoyable to watch. You have a lot of practical jokes, and while some may be a little too much, you'll get some good laughs. My advise is: don't take it too serious. I wasn't expecting much from it, watched it over cable TV, and had a blast. This movie deserves better.
MERLIN ERDOGMUS This is my very first review of a movie and maybe the last. I watched this flick with a friend. The female character in this flick can think and speak in full sentences. The jokes are a mixture of experimental / weird / sinister humor and Manoj Shyamalan plot-twist jokes that keep you entertained at every level. This is definitely in the Scary-Movie-area or Sacha-Baron-Cohen section. If you wanna laugh more, you gotta take seriously hard drugs. The only thing that annoyed me, was the little to cheesy soundtrack. But even the score had it's parts, where it broke the 4th wall and it tried at least to be a bit original. We were watching at first this flick and after that we watched "An American Carol". American Carol has a rating of 4.3 and this one only 4.6, which really hurts me deep inside. Feels like you throw pearls before swine. Take it from me: Good comedy is rare nowadays. The film is aware of the setting that it gives you. The start is a little bumpy, but after 5 minutes you know you'll regret it, when the credits roll.
elshikh4 Now this is a movie which makes me feel bad even by writing about it ! First of all : I can't stand (Tara Reid)'s ugly voice, face, performance, career and face (did I say face already ?!). The main idea is super; it's like Blake Edwards's (The Party – 1968) but with opposite condition where the party this time is hosted by the innocent guy and in spite of him he has all crazy guests, with little shadows from (American Pie)'s utterly rude-world-for-rudeness technique. Long story short it was crappy mix of nerds-in-destruction mixed with the teen comedy to end up as the worst of both. They wouldn't do any satire out of plot like this (or even think about it !). Actually this comedy was so sick, and I mean sick with every sense of the word, so making fun of everybody's handicaps was one kind of many sicknesses here ! And with hasty slight writing it became just stupid people through stupid sketches ! it brings the crummy of everyone; Observe (Michael Madsen) in a case of spoofing his cinematic persona as a ruthless gangster, that could've been brilliant, but he was so frigid, dull, and not trying to be any funny ! GOD.. Even its tagline was the dumbest of them all :"There are some things you just don't do" ??! YEAH, like watching this movie ! After some nice comedies by David Zucker as a director this is the movie that pushed me to reconsider my look at him as good director (once !). What got on my nerves terribly that way of dealing with releasing the damn movie; look carefully at it.. There are some lost links or strange deficient situations as the secretary's wild bunch going in or going out suddenly and strangely ! Or Carmen Elektra's role ? Some things vague or laconic like these would make sense with the release of the DVD with the wicked bonus. I ran into its poster in one site and on it existed the holy truth ""R Rated ! The Version You Didn't See In Theaters !"".. It's how to sell the same bad movie twice ! Accidentally I watched in less than a month 3 comedies with a certain scene in everyone of them that contains an intentional exposing for an old man's ass as naked ! : (The Naked Gun 2½: The Smell of Fear - 1991), (My Boss's Daughter - 2003), (Johnny English - 2003). The first 2 of the previous movies are directed by the same man (David Zucker). Well.. Is that good or attractive ? Damn sure it is, it got its fans, like the torn-off limbs are desirable for the Horror movies' fans, but either ways.. I'm not a fan ! Generally, the American cinema makes bad comedies, this is nothing like any of them.. This is much worse ! It told us more than once "Everything happens for a reason", I think this movie "happened" just to be part of unstoppable industry that swelled to produce 400 movies, any movies, per year, so the wheel must go on and on even if it made (My Boss's Daughter), or (Son of The Mask) or sequels to them too. Anyhow, If you have 90 minutes to spend just read a book, or rent any of Disney's classic cartoons instead, or go watch any reruns of (Baywatch) where at least (Carmen Elektra) was really existent ! ...Did I mention that I hate (Tara Reid)'s hair ?.
bob the moo Tom thinks he has been asked out by the sexy daughter of his manic yet powerful boss but when he arrives at her house he finds that he has actually been asked to house-sit while she parties. His boss Jack Taylor leaves him instructions, very strict instructions and all Tom hopes to do is get through the evening without doing anything negative at all. However it is not just the obvious things that go wrong for Tom, but things that would seem unlikely and absurd to any normal person.I watch hundreds of films a year covering all sorts of genres, countries and periods. I do not say this as a boast (really, is this anything to be proud of?) but rather to highlight what I mean when I get to my next sentence. I rarely turn a film off or walk out before the end. Rarely, in fact I can only think of one or two where I wrote a review based on part of the film. I don't always do this because I think it will get better but rather because I have a touch of the compulsive behaviour about me and I just prefer to watch the whole thing so I can give my opinion in an informed manner.So, with this film please feel free to ignore my views on the basis that I switched off at the 60 minute mark, unwilling and unable to stand the film for any of the remaining thirty minutes. I found the 60 minutes that I enduring to be incredibly lazy and contrived with not even a single laugh to cover for it. The entire (from my point of view) film was based around Tom house-sitting due to a misunderstanding whereby he thought he would actually have been dating Lisa Taylor, the character who is the title's daughter of the title's boss. If you have not seen the film you may be shocked to learn that this house-sitting period is not event free, in fact it is pretty much a case of one thing going wrong after another, whether it is a drug deal, a cheating boyfriend, a sexy girl with a great body, a missing owl or some mice getting loose. Be sure – if it can go wrong it does.Sadly what this "craziness" does not produce is a single laugh or even a single moment where I believed the story was written by a human as opposed to a machine, no, scratch that – a committee of machines. It isn't really predictable, because who predicted a criminal trying to recover drugs as part of the story, it is just that nothing that happens has any wit, humour or imagination about it. I tired of it quickly and literally the best thing I can say about it was that I managed about an hour before bailing out. The cast are rubbish but in fairness it is the material that leaves them out on their own. Kutcher is poor and, to provide a frame of reference – is poor by his own standards. I often thought he was asleep. Aside from a bit of a sexy dance and the fact that short blonde women are lovely, Reid does nothing. The rest of the cast features faces such as Thompson, Tambor, Madsen and others but none are any good. Electra has a great body but that alone accounts for a few minutes of the sixty I sat through.Overall then, a pointlessly bland film. There wasn't anything that struck me as being "terrible" but rather it was just 100% bland and uninteresting – which I almost think is worse than being bad. You can understand if people are not capable of doing something but seeing everyone putting in so little effort is that bit more insulting. Perhaps it turned into Citizen Kane in the final thirty minutes but I'll never know because the two-thirds I saw was so banal and pointless that I thought switching it off was the only safe option I had.
