Bob the Butler
Bob Tree (Tom Green) is an extremely clumsy and accident prone guy, incapable of holding down a job. Bob has the best intentions with the worst luck, but he will not accept this as his destiny and decides to enroll in Butler School in an effort to refine his inept ways. Anne Smythe (Brooke Shields), a single mom with two kids, is spinning out of control trying to balance a high maintenance boyfriend, a stressful job and unruly, bratty kids. A desperate Anne, in dire need of assistance, stumbles across one of Bob's old babysitting flyers and calls. Much to their delight, the kids find Bob to be a real pushover and convince their Mom to hire him fulltime. Anne is pleased when she learns Bob has attended Butler School and assumes she has found a trained professional to look after the kids, cook and clean. After fooling Anne into believing Bob is the calm, collected individual she needs, hi-jinks ensue.

Good family flick for Tom Green - djray
The film had "some" edginess as there was a kid called Bates and as Tom was a butler he asked if the kid be called "Master Bates". They decided not to. There was some sexual innuendo at the supermarket when Tom was holding melons and there was a woman with large breasts. They talked about cucumbers and melons.
The rest of the film was a typical romantic comedy that was predictable, and was a film for the Disney Channel. It was a large change for Green, who is known for shock comedy of the late 90s, but it was a nice change and a movie that is watchable for the entire family.
If you are interested in Green shock humour, this isn't the film for you. If you want a family romantic-comedy, then this may be for you. For those that admire Green's career and are willing to watch a family film from him, I recommend it.
I actually zipped this film to get the credit music "My Name is Bob" performed by Tom Green and a song that uses an instrumental from his 2005 rap song "Teachers Suck"Fun - TheGame
This is a "FAMILY" film folks!!!!! Its not a crass comedy etc... Brooke looks GORGEOUS as usual and Tom is his old funny self....the film is a good fun silly family film. It's too bad there arent more films like this.....
All in all this film is superb filmmaking at its best as far as family films go. If you like Tom Green you'll laugh alot in the film
