"He Hired the Boss" is a very simple modestly budgeted film. However, it IS a lot of fun.
Hubert (Stuart Erwin) is a very nice man. But he's also incredibly meek and lets other folks walk all over him. He also doesn't have the nerve to ask the lady he's smitten with out on a date. One of his co-workers misuses their friendship but the worst is the boss-- he's a despicable old goat. However, despite all this, Hubert is due for some big changes in his life...and by the time the film is over, life just will never be the same for the guy. How and why is just something you'll need to see for yourself.
I think the reason I liked the film is that the writing was very clever and Erwin's character was so very likable. I wasn't 100% thrilled with the ending but I guess you can't have everything.
