Lisa (Tara Reid) asks Tom (Ashton Kutcher) over to her place
for 7 pm. Tom thinks Lisa has asked him on a date, to find out that he
is there to baby-sit Daddy’s Owl (so Lisa can go to a house party).
Nothing too complicated until a variety of houseguests start showing up
and the craziness begins.
It could have had potential if the script was funnier. They tried the
same old tricks but with different story lines. An owl, a drug dealer,
a fired employee and a delinquent son. There were a few funny lines but
nothing to write home about. And what’s with all the urinating.
I worked on a short film a very long time ago and the producer/lead actor
kept adding scenes where he would urinate before killing his victim. What’s
up with that, is it a guy thing? That’s just cheap laughs; let’s
get some talented comedy from talented scripts.
It was an attempt at American Pie humour but without the originality.
You can be gross with originality or you can just be gross.
One good thing about this is Ashton is a little more sedate than most
of his other roles. He seems to be the most “level-headed”
of the group and tries to make everything better. Maybe Ashton CAN play
characters other than bumbling idiots. Let’s hope so.
