Tags: comedy, entertaining

Plot synopsis:
Tom Stansfield (Ashton Kutcher) is a researcher at a publishing company who works under the tyrannical Jack Taylor (Terence Stamp). Tom has a crush on his boss' daughter, Lisa Taylor (Tara Reid), who is completely controlled by her overprotective father. She reveals to Tom that her father is making her house-sit on the same night as a party she wants to attend, but Tom convinces her to stand up to her father and attend the party anyway. Lisa asks him to come to their house that night, leading Tom to think that she has invited him to the party; in reality, she just wants him to fill in for her - he reluctantly agrees. A comedy of errors ensues, including the return of Lisa's older brother, Red, on the run from drug dealers. Red dumps drugs into the toilet, and instead returns a bag of flour to the drug dealer. One of Tom's tasks is to guard their owl, O-J, which lives in an open cage (it has not been able to fly due to a deep depression, from the loss of a prior mate). When the bird drinks from the toilet polluted with drugs, it flies away. Jack Taylor's ex-secretary Audrey goes to the house to try to earn her job back. After fighting with her boyfriend, she stays over at the house. Lisa returns home after finding out that her boyfriend Hans is cheating on her. Tom hides from her everything that happened and she spends some time with him thinking he is homosexual. He clarifies to her that he's actually straight and she starts to like him. Audrey's friend thinks she has breast cancer and asks Tom to feel her breasts. Lisa walks in on them and is disgusted by the situation.
T.J., the drug dealer, finds out about the fake drugs and threatens to kill Tom if he doesn't return him his money. T.J. tries to open a safe and steal the money. However, Tom gives him sleeping pills mixed with alcohol which sends him into a coma. Because they think T.J. is dead, Audrey and her friends bury him. Later, T.J. escapes from the grave and threatens to kill Lisa. With Red's help, Tom rescues Lisa and she falls in love with him. He then goes to get her father, but on the way back the owl gets into the car making Tom lose control of the car and crash into the house. They find police officers in the house looking for T.J., who ends up getting arrested. Jack Taylor is enraged by the damages done to the house and throws Tom out. The next day, Jack Taylor hears his son explaining to Lisa how she should stand up to their father and goes back to Tom. Jack realizes his mistakes and gives Tom a promotion.

Review: The entire (from my point of view) film was based around Tom house-sitting due to a misunderstanding whereby he thought he would actually have been dating Lisa Taylor, the character who is the title's daughter of the title's boss.
If you have not seen the film you may be shocked to learn that this house-sitting period is not event free, in fact it is pretty much a case of one thing going wrong after another, whether it is a drug deal, a cheating boyfriend, a sexy girl with a great body, a missing owl or some mice getting loose.
Seems to me that the actors had no idea what they were filming and where it would end up in the movie, halve of the time.
You're better off watching "The Party", starring Peter Sellers, which has a sort of similar concept as this movie.Terence Stamp was really great in the movie and he is the reason that still most of the comedy works out.
Other are actors such as Jeffrey Tambor and Carmen Electra.The movie love story between the Ashton Kutcher and Tara Reid characters, which forms the central core of the movie doesn't ever become realistic in the movie.
Tom Stansfield (Ashton Kutcher) works in a publisher and has a very tough boss, Jack Taylor (Terence Stamp).
Not in comedy films, featuring Ashton Kutcher and Tara Reid.The plot is about Tom Stansfield, that is working for some big publishing company.
It's somewhat similar to Home Alone, in the way that Tom gets unexpected visits from a dozen uninvited guests that stir up some "fun" situations.I found myself extremely annoyed at Ashton Kutchers character.
In the end scene he just "pops" up and suddenly he has developed and is brave enough to stand up for himself (how this happens, we never know).The jokes are old, the movie is short, the plot is weak, the actors are crap, everything about this film is below par.
Ashton's horrifying "talking", Tara's face being ten shades darker than her neck, a drugged up owl, a script that seemed like the work of a three-year-old...Seriously, in my whole life there has been no movie that i have watched that i did not in someway enjoy no matter how bad it was.
Today i was trying to re-watch it but i had to turn it off like ten minutes in because i was about to cry from the overwhelming amount of clichés.Don't even bother to rent this at your blockbuster, it's not worth a cent, as a matter of fact i am willing to pay anyone out there considering to watch this movie so they can go do something decent with their lives..
Lisa's boyfriend Hans cheated on her and she comes home early.Everybody is annoying in this movie and Ashton Kutcher is the welcome mat for them to walk all over on.
This is a David Zucker film but it needs to get the characters right before the slapstick comedy could actually work..
It really hurt the film.At no point did I care for Ashton Kutcher & Tara Reid's relationship, nor was their interactions funny or engaging.
However, the film did feature an owl jacked-up on coke which was fairly funny.This movie is the definition of the word "passable." Worth a laugh or two, but that's about it.
It was just last week when I watched "Just Married", which I didn't think was very funny, and now I've also seen "My Boss's Daughter", another romantic comedy starring Ashton Kutcher, which was released later the same year as the other one.
I've seen a bunch of comedies which he was heavily involved in the making of, and have found several of them funny, unsurprisingly including "Airplane!" and "The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad!" However, this 2003 comedy, directed by Zucker and written by David Dorfman, certainly misses the mark, and as a romantic comedy starring Kutcher, it's even weaker than the overall mediocre "Just Married"!
The humour is basically mediocre at the beginning, showing the protagonist on the subway trying to talk to Lisa, with nothing too funny, and that's unfortunately the way it is for most of the film, only it gets worse as it goes along.
Now, I'll admit, I couldn't help but smile several times, even laugh a little a couple times, during early scenes with the Jack Taylor character, played by Terence Stamp, including the first conversation we see between him and Tom, though I didn't find the "retard" part very amusing.
Ashton Kutcher makes the worst movie mistake of his career, since 'Dude, Where's My Car?' Tara Reid co-stars as the girl of Ashton's dreams, who asks him to babysit her father (and his boss)'s pet owl for the weekend.
4. Don't touch the furniture.Well, you can pretty much guess by the end of the first twenty minutes, how the rest of the film is going to turn out.You know, there are films like, "Meet The Parents", where bad things happen to someone, but it's entertaining to watch, and it's delivered in a way, that you can't wait to see what happens next.
Movies like "Duplex" and scenes like the toilet scene in "Along came Polly", that's really not my cup tea.Tara Reid and Terence Stamp is the only thing pulling this movie up, she does a good job playing the daughter, while he is the father and the boss of Kutcher.Ashton Kutcher is playing Tom Stansfield a employee of the creative department in Jack Taylor (Terence Stamps) company.
This is where everything really starts falling apart for Tom.The only part of this movie that I found funny, involved Jack Taylor, being the really mean boss.
Only watch this movie if you are a die hard fan of Ashton Kutcher, 'cause he is the main character, and none of the other actors is really involved in this movie, or if you love movies like Duplex, and other similar movies, which are even more embarrassing to watch.2/10 and never to be seen again..
I saw the last bits of this movie a long time ago, and that's all I will ever need to see.My Bosses Daughter stars Ashton Kutcher, who makes a bad name for himself in this film.
Luckily I was only watching it on TV so it didn't cost anything, but I seriously recommend you do not waste you time or your money.Nothing in the movie was new.
I actually think it would have been better as a little kids movie in that it was full of stupid unrealistic "funny" events occurring ...
"My Boss's Daughter" is very typical comedy, that tries its best to make fun out of everyone, including ethnic groups and disabled people.At such, it gives out couple of laughs, but most of the jokes you can see coming from far and it really isn't anything very original.
It does however have couple of scenes that did got me by surprise, so I'd guess it's not so predictable as the most of the movies of this genre.Ashton Kutcher is Tom, who by mistakes is baby sitting his obnoxious boss's (Terence Stamp)owl and house.
Tom of course is in panic, because he's in love with Lisa (unbelievebly bad actor Tara Reid), the boss's daughter.Watch it and forget about it and don't get angry even thought you would be in the groups insulted by this flicks: there are so much better insulting comedies to get mad to..
Yet somehow, I watched this film in its entirety, and found it to be surprisingly entertaining.It is certainly not an especially sophisticated movie - from the plot description, you gather that Ashton's character has to housesit for his sadistic boss, and basically the entire movie is a ridiculous romp through every possible thing that could go wrong with such a simple task.
The characters are composed with blatant flaws that keep the movie going, but do so in a fairly entertaining fashion, and there's enough plot to keep you interested enough that you actually kind of want to know what happens.This movie isn't as bad as the voting seems to suggest, and if you're looking for a brainless comedy, this is a good choice.
Tara Reid is not funny, Ashton Kucher needs to stick to a role he is good at (which I don't know if he has found his niche yet, but I think there is a place for him somewhere), and whoever wrote this movie needs to put away the word processor and go back to writing 1-800-Collect commercials.Bad..
The only things in the "movie" that made me laugh were Dave Foley's scenes, he's the only actor they didn't make look like Geraldo Rivera.
This is bad because, a) Tom wants to move up the occupational ladder into the creative department of the company, and b) he's got the hots for Lisa, a company employee who also happens to be (say it with me) his boss's daughter.
He's overjoyed when Lisa asks him to come to her house one night because she `wants to go to a party', but whereas Tom thinks he's going to be escorting fair Lisa to the said party, he quickly realizes that he's actually there to house-sit for his boss while Lisa attends the party with her boyfriend.
In response to that, I'll say that even the lowliest of teen-movies (Drive Me Crazy comes to mind) were vastly more entertaining and better executed than this one.This is the kind of film that can give a person nightmares about the future of comedies.
But, this film was SO bad I left after 40 minutes and got my money back.Horrible cast, stupid plot, stupid dialog, stupid everything.
The plot could not be more ridiculous; the acting is pretty bad, and the story has this surreal but stupid feel about it.Avoid like the plague!!Rating: 1 out of 10.
Very foolish choice by Ashton Kutcher and Tara Reid to act in this movie.
My Boss's Daughter (2003) Ashton Kutcher, Tara Reid, Andy Richter, Michael Madsen, Terence Stamp, Molly Shannon, Carmen Electra, D: David Zucker.
Thinking it will be a good opportunity to land a date with the boss's daughter (Reid), moments of bad timing ruin his chances with her.
this is possibly the worst movie of the year,and thats hard to do with all the competition.overacted,overcast,overly terrible.this movie tries to get humor out of racial slurs and jokes,which in todays pc world is a very touchy subject.references to jews,african americans,and other cultures.Aston is terrible and it shows,Andy looks like he just came from the bar and needs another drink.Tera doesnt do a stellar job either.not even the talent of Terrance Stamp could save this stink bomb.save your money and go camping..
The characters, and pretty much all of them, are bland and clichéd(not a bad thing but it is when the character and such is badly written which is the case here), while the cast excepting Stamp are poor with Ashton Kutcher faring worse, he looks bored and shows no charisma.
All the actors were so meddlers that Kutcher's desperate face was really priceless.Summing it up, "My Boss's Daughter" is an hilarious movie that despite not being Zucker's best job, is worth spending time at and I am looking forward to watching with my friends.
A regrettable decision which was based on other Ashton Kutcher comedies that were (semi-) enjoyable such as A Lot Like Love and Guess Who.Where those two movies had their charms and laughs, this had none (and I mean none!!).
My vote is 1- awful(read terrible), because except the idea, and the project itself, My Boss's Daughter is kind of a waste of dough, cast and play, but surely not a waste of time to watch it..
we think had we seen it at the movies you would not have been able to hear it for laughter there's only two things wrong with this film and they are that when the boss's house is being wrecked Tara Reid the daughter seems to be completely oblivious to this and the other thing is that you don't get a chance to stop laughing before the next thing happens.
I'm sure you have read the other comments and if your a fan of light hearted no brainer comedies then I'm sure like me you will see that the other reviewers or looking to far into this movie it isn't meant to be a long time love affair buy on DVD and keep it forever its simply wham bam thank you mam this was fun see you around sometime.well worth £3.75 at blockbuster go on have a giggle..
Let's just say a lot of crazy people come, lot's of really weird (but hilarious) things happen, EVERYTHING goes wrong for poor Tom who is trying his best but can't stop it, and worst of all--this all happens when the boss is away and putting trust in poor Tom. While all this is happening, Tom is trying SO hard to make a good impression for Lisa, but she always catches him at the worst possible place/time!
Can Tom do anything to get out of the mess he's in, keep his job, and most important--get Lisa to like him?If you love good comedies like I do, this movie is perfect for you!
I didn't think it was a Zucker movie till I found out in the end why it was dumb and funny, but it was worth watching.
The plot was great, and for Ashton Kutchers character, it was half-ass; he thought of going to the party with Lisa but ends up house sitting for his boss and Lisa's at the party with her "Boyfriend" Jon Abraham, "House Sitting?
"There are some things you just don't do" so says the tag-line of this, a 2003 David Zucker comedy about a young man caught up in one horrendous situation after another entitled My Boss's Daughter, and it's the tag-line which should speak for both the people that made this junk as well as those contemplating watching it.
To see it is to endure it, to endure it is to survive it and to survive it is an accomplishment all by itself – if any of the cast; writers; extras; Hell, even the guys that worked as runners on the set, aid in producing anything as Earth-shatteringly poor as this again, then it'll be either because they've been sent here by the devil Himself to destroy the medium of film or, it'll be because they've most probably garnered employment on behalf of the Friedberg/Seltzer mob.My Boss's Daugther, (which I'm pretty sure ought to be titled "My Boss' Daugther", grammatically speaking), revolves around its hapless male lead, named Tom Stansfield (Kutcher), and a night in at his boss' house as he chases that seemingly elusive 'goal' that is his young, blonde daughter Lisa Taylor (Reid) - someone whom works within the same department as he does in a towering Chicago office block whilst under the strict eye of Jack Taylor (Stamp).
A Baltimore Bob Top Ten Conversation of all Movies:When Tom (Ashton Kutcher) is being told by Jack (Terence Stamp) what he has to do to house sit he introduces him to his bird.
Dreamy young Ashton Kutcher (as Tom Stansfield) wants a date with sexy blonde Tara Reid (as Lisa Taylor).
Remember, people get paid to act like this.** My Boss's Daughter (2003) David Zucker ~ Ashton Kutcher, Tara Reid, Terence Stamp.
Despite the fact that he ensued mishaps while watching the house, if you ask me, Tom (Ashton Kutcher) and Lisa (Tara Reid) made the perfect couple.
Now, in conclusion, I highly recommend this good comedy that will make you laugh and feel good in spite of its crude moments to any Ashton Kutcher or Tara Reid fan who hasn't seen it.
Terence Stamp's talent is totally wasted and just about the only thing that I enjoyed was hearing a favorite song of mine, "If I Had a Million Dollars" by BNL, in the opening credits.Ashton Kutcher plays the main character, a nice guy who gets roped into house sitting for his boss.
Kutcher was good in this movie too but the plot just was...bad.
The basic plot involves your average guy Tom who likes his co-worker Lisa who happens to be his boss's daughter.
The only good thing you can say about this movie is that somehow escaped making it to the list worst 10 films of all time.
MY BOSS'S DAUGHTER may be David Zucker's worst movie to date, though it is still a very funny one.
Terence Stamp gets a couple of laughs as Tom's boss, but the rest of the movie cries turkey.
It's depressing to walk into a packed theatre for this movie, while a good film like "Dirty Pretty Things" plays nearly empty..
The only other times I laughed in the movie was because of the horrendous acting of Kutcher, and even worse, Tara Reid.
Bad. I thought this movie would be about a guy wanting to date a woman but he struggles to get her because she is his bosses daughter.
Funny in it's own Way. Tom(Ashton Kutcher) has always had a thing for his Boss's beautiful daughter Lisa(Tara Reid).
Ashton Kutcher is not really funny and Tara Reid can't act but she is beautiful and nice to look at.
Tom (Ashton Kutcher, who is about as good of an actor as my left toenail), who is a little shy/passive, has a crush on his boss's daughter (hence the stupid title) Lisa (Tara Reid, see my comment about Kutcher).
Reid does what she needs to do with her one-dimensional character of the boss's daughter (which the movie isn't really about).
These days, outlandish humor seems to be reserved for teenybopper flicks that play off of Marijuana and sex jokes, like `Scary Movie.' However, the new film, `My Boss's Daughter,' which stars Ashton Kutcher and Tara Reid, revives the slapstick comedy with a hilarious joke in just about every shot.
