Quotes:

Sam Simms:You know what's gonna happen if I let you go? Morton is gonna call me in. Then he's going to chew my butt off. I'll be sitting there and my butt's gonna get smaller and smaller and by the time I get up, my back is going to be on my thighs. Because I won't have no butt. You wouldn't want that to happen to me, would you? Of course you wouldn't.

This is one funny movie

I watched this on ABC last night, and I laughed. Sinbad and Timothy Busfield are both people who protests the first kid Luke Davenport (Brock Pierce) but not at the same time. And if you don't have time to go and visit the White House in person, the next best thing is to rent or buy this movie. Plus if you watch this movie you will see a lot of rooms in the White House than you would if you took a tour of the White House. As the movie opens, Luke Davenport is being rushed though breakfast by his Secret Service Guard Woods (Timothy Busfield). Luke has to do back to school shopping. But when Woods rudly takes Luke into the dressing room, Luke's mom (Lisa Eichhorn) decides that she no longer wants Woods procting her son, and Woods ends up fired. Right way Sam Simmons (Sinbad) gets the call in the mall. Where at the White House he learns that is has been picked to protect Luke Davenport than the president (James Naughton). Right away there are some problems, but Sam Simmons takes care of it. Zachery Ty Bryan appears as Luke's classmate and bully. And you know who has to go to school with him. That would be Sam Simmons (if you didn't know). But parents this movie has been rated PG by the MPAA. 10/10
