Pros:
1. If you decide to shut down your brain-cells, you can find enjoyment in the absurdity of the events that occur.
2. Ashton Kutcher (Tom Stansfield) tries his best, and seems like the only actor actually trying.
Cons: 1. The romance is utterly dead in this film, as Ashton Kutcher and Tara Reid (Lisa Taylor) possess absolutely no chemistry together at all.
2. The comedy is dreadful; it's forced edgy humour for the sake of being edgy. As someone who loves dark comedy, the desperate attempts to make jokes on sensitive and contentious issues just to get cheap laughs, are just annoying and cringy.
3. Jack Taylor (Terence Stamp) is presented as a ruthless, intelligent and highly perceptive man, but somehow didn't realise that his own son was involved in drug dealing right under his nose.
4. None of the character decisions make any sense. From Jack Taylor allowing a subordinate to house sit his home, to Tom Stansfield allowing strangers into the house because he doesn't have the gumption to tell them to leave, to characters randomly showing up for the sake of it.
5. The entire premise of the movie, wherein an employee agrees to house-sit his boss's house because he has a crush on the boss's daughter and then strangers show up for nonsensical reasons, is just wholly uninteresting. You can also tell the writers were struggling to stretch the concept into a feature-length film, as most of what happens is just filler.
6. Most of the characters are given nothing, or barely anything, to do and are clearly just there to prolong the run-time.
7. The commentary on strict and neglectful parenting is laughably shallow and boring.
8. Tara Reid cannot act to save her life. Now wonder she had to create her own production company last year to actually start landing roles again.
