Featured review
Don't Worry, Bob The Butler Behaves Himself . . . .
While searching at Amazon for a movie to watch on my TV, I came across this one. I didn't notice who was in it, however, and fast-forwarded through the opening credits. Shortly after starting the film, I wondered if the actress playing the mom was Brooke Shields, so I did a quick search on it here at IMDB on my cell phone. Yes, it was Brooke Shields, and Bob the butler was Tom Green. Tom Green? Wasn't he a notorious dirty comic who was once married to Drew Barrymore for only a few months? Oh no!
I then was about to go find another movie to watch, but first read a couple of reviews here, and saw it was not offensive in any way, shape or form. It's actually a somewhat sweet and unique story about a guy, with a pet hamster, who can't keep a job. He thus goes from one job to another as if he is a career job switcher. Having finished a 5-day class on butlering, he becomes a butler at Brooke Shield's house. She is a workaholic single mother with two kids who need more guidance. Bob provides that guidance, and Brooke provides him with a new future he never imagined.
