Review of Bob the Butler (2005) by Basil M — 09 Nov 2005
[size=3][color=#000000][font=Times New Roman]I saw this film at Cannes... a week of serious meetings and rubbish[/font][/color][/size].
[size=3][color=#000000][font=Times New Roman]dinners and I laughed and laughed at this light hearted break from the[/font][/color][/size].
[size=3][color=#000000][font=Times New Roman]reality(?) of the festival.[/font][/color][/size].

[font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=#000000]The little bit of anti-French humor was hilarious.. Especially as I watched this film in Cannes.[/color][/size][/font].

[font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=#000000]While the movie is reminiscent of Doubtfire, it is much less sappy and way more slapstick. Tom Green is decidedly more normal ? while being as strange and funny as ever ? than we have seen in his teen flicks.[/color][/size][/font].

[font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=#000000]Shields is, as always, stunning and beautiful and, also as usual, combines her graceful beauty with physical comedy and well delivered (punch) lines.[/color][/size][/font].
[font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=#000000] [/color][/size][/font].
[font=Times New Roman][size=3][color=#000000]The children in this movie were very well cast, they make the movie in a number of ways that can?t be discussed without a spoiler warning! Go out, rent this movie, order a pizza and enjoy.[/color][/size][/font].
