Tom thinks he gets a break, however, when Lisa appears to invite him to a party with her. It turns out she wants him to house-sit Jack's house so that she can go out with her boyfriend, Hans (KENAN THOMPSON). Tom only learns this when he gets to the house and Jack lays out the ground rules. They basically consist of feeding and tending to Jack's pet owl, O.J., and that he'll kill Tom should anything happen to the house while he's watching it.
Tom thinks that's no big deal, but once Jack and Lisa are gone, Lisa's brother, Red (ANDY RICHTER), shows up. He wants Tom to deliver a package to T.J. (MICHAEL MADSEN) when he arrives. Little does Tom know that the thug expects that to be drugs, or that Audrey and her friends, including Speed (DAVID KOECHNER) and Tina (CARMEN ELECTRA), will show up.
As things progressively get out of control and he worries about keeping his job should something bad happen, Tom tries to let Lisa know how he feels about her, all while dealing with her boyfriend, Hans (KENAN KOECHNER), a young woman with a bad head wound, Julie (EVER CARRADINE), and the ever-growing chaos that develops in the house.
Two men's bare butts are seen in a nonsexual moment, a woman is seen in a clingy, tight and wet t-shirt, a drawing shows a bare-breasted woman, and other women are seen in revealing attire. A man gropes two women's clothed breasts, arousing one. Various forms of imitative behavior are present, including urinating in and on many things in a living room. Other crude humor involves a character with a bloody head wound.
Various characters have varying degrees of bad attitudes, while the film comes off the same way regarding its source material (including talk of a previous attempted rape, a suicide attempt, a blind and paralyzed man, blacks, Jews and more) used for intended comedy.
Violence includes various bits of slapstick style material, while people threaten others with guns and a switchblade and some striking or roughing up of others is present. One character is presumably killed by a combination of drugs and booze (but is later okay), while an owl reacts to drinking cocaine-tainted water. Others drink and/or smoke.
