They said this guy was in nursing school because he couldn't afford medical school. But they didn't say much about how old he was. On a maturity level, I would guess 17 maybe. The sister is obviously older and much smarter. My wife and I debated turning this off for the first 45 minutes or so. This kid is so immature and downright stupid. Can there really be someone that dumb? In New York City?Anyway I won't give it away, but the female lead is terrific. And beautiful. The sister is the brains of the family and the mother is the heart. The kid is just a poor smuck trying to grow up. He has a hard time 'getting it.'Special shout-out to Annete O'Toole, the mom, Rachel Leigh Cook, the sister and Snoop Dogg as the co-worker.

a comedy without many ambitions. nice, humanist, almost correct performance but not really inspired. a young man as axis of a world. new debate about social condition and all-powerful love, few drops of humor and scenes of talk. nothing credible but good occasion to waste the time. if it is a good /bad movie - only expectation has the answer. it is a light movie , picture of a feelings adventure, not spiced, not tasty, full of basic questions and remarkable for Snoop Dogg presence ( only for his fans ), few dogs and slice from a sex shop. Joseph Cross has a not very inspired central character ; the hope to create a naive, sensitive and fragile young man is not realistic. so, only another film with predictable end.

A guys father dies, so he has to quit school and get a job to support his mother .. so far so good.His uncle gets him a job as a Doorman. The rules are simple ... don't let people in the building who do not belong, do not fraternize with the Tenants, do not sleep on the job, do not eat on the job, do not follow the bad behavior of other Doormen, do not touch anyone, do not use the front door.The first night on the job ... he basically breaks all of the rules, and also fumbles through a young woman's personal items while making a delivery to her bedroom (creepy!). Over the next few days, he continues to screw up, and is warned repeatedly to stop fraternizing by his Manager. He continues to break the rules, and is fired.Now we are supposed to feel sorry for him, because he lost his job for flirting ... but I feel sorry for his Uncle who vouched for him to get him that job, that he clearly had no respect for, and now his Uncle looks like a jerk. We also see him getting tips for things he did not do, and not giving them to the people who did them (e.g. Snoop helps a family leave for a vacation, and the guy give the tip to the Lead, and the Lead pockets it, and does not give it to Snoop. He does the same thing with a flower delivery guy).There is a scene where a dog gets killed in an elevator accident (which should have beheaded the dog) ... he saves it by giving it mouth-to-mouth? ... but when a homosexual kisses him to thank him, he wipes his face and is repulsed. It was inappropriate for the guy to kiss him on the lips ... but the scene just comes across as Homophobic.In numerous scenes, what the Lead does is creepy ... a Janitor is sleeping, and he puts his hand on the Janitor's chest and puts his ear by his mouth ... the Janitor wakes up and freaks out, that some stranger is touching him (as would most people). The Lead then tells him he is a nurse and the Janitor has breathing problems ... and then walks away (what a HEAD GAME!) Then there is a scene were his Nursing School Dean asks him to hand her a plastic model of a vagina, and he hands her the rectum instead (a seriously bad Nurse) ... but he makes a freaked out face when touching the plastic vagina (and later does the same with plastic testicles)? If plastic body parts freak him out ... do not be a nurse. The real ones are much scarier ... LOLWhen two Prostitutes show up to service a 12 year old boy, that he had promised to watch out for while the child's parents were away ... he does not freak out and lets them up?!?! ... but when their Pimp shows up, he lets him in the Lobby ... LOL. This guy is supposed to be from Brooklyn, not Kansas.Snoop, the Lead's mother and scenes of NYC are the only reason to see this ... otherwise the story sucks, the work ethic is worse, and the romance is unbelievable.

A doorman is usually a person you often overlook, seldom took a second glance, and always thought that he is there because he is a dork who could not land a better job.But this film gives you a glimpse of what a doorman faces everyday, and to look at things in their perspective, gives you a whole new idea of this profession and how, as simple a job as can be, they have their own story to tell. Story that may not matter to others, but important nonetheless.This is a story of a middle class family, whose world fallen apart because the breadwinner of the family died of old age, and left them with no assets and full of debt. So, the lead cast has to be the breadwinner now, and he got a job as a doorman. He has to stop his study as a nurse for a while because he needs to take care of his family.That's where the story revolves. Of him, of his career, and the people around him. Of the tenants, and of his boss, and get this; Snoop Dogg! Overall, this film is as good as it gets; though at times it seems a little slow, but if it goes any faster it'll be as good as this. And I agreed that have you watched the trailer first, you'd have an idea about how the story goes. But there is more to that, and watching the whole film is not a bad idea after all.
