Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe scene where Mr. Butler is showing his students how to help the master dress is quite realistic. Prime Minister Winston Churchill, for example, had a butler help him dress almost every day of his life.
- GoofsWhen Bob sees Anne in the shower his earphones fall on the floor. The next shot as he walks to the door one earphone is in and the other is out of his ear. Then as he leaves the room the earphones are in his ear again.
- Quotes
Bates Jamieson: Why do you call me 'Master'?
Bob Tree: I'm studying to be a butler.
Bates Jamieson: Hmm. I don't like it. 'Master Bates' just feels... wrong.
Bob Tree: Indeed.

Featured review
Sweet and surprising family movie
Before you read the review, I have a confession. I am not a die hard fan of Tom Green despite I liked some moments of his show since they are all available on Youtube. However, since April 13 Green follows me on Instagram (the only actor that does it) and since I liked this movie, I felt I had the need of reviewing it finally. Now I finally took this off my chest.
Bob Tree (Green) is a 30 year old guy who can't simply keep a job. After making the kitchen in the fast food inherited by his uncle explode, he tries all the jobs in alphabetical order from the yellow pages, and after failing in all the jobs with the A arrives to Butler and this time, he goes to a butlers' school. After passing the tests (without some clumsy error on the way) he is assigned to a family with a mom (Brooke Shields) that has trouble in keeping her kids in line. And just like in MARY POPPINS, Bob will have a friendship-like bond with the kids and will help the mom in choosing what is best for her.
I really didn't expected to like this movie as it has 5,5 and mostly negative reviews, and also because of the fear that it would have been disgusting like FREDDY GOT FINGERED. Instead, it was a family movie just like it is supposed to be. Tom Green gives a more restrained performance and most of his gags here are in the right context, and I am daring to say, he actually surprised me. Brooke Shields has some very funny moments too and the kids are actually likeable after they meet with Green. The humour here is safe.
Overall, an adequate family film that is safe for kids and likeable for the adults forced to watch it with them. Not a must see but just one of those movies that you could watch if you are bored at home and don't want to think too much.
