Synopsis: Eager but accident-prone young executive Tom Stansfield has finally happened upon the opportunity of his lifetime: he can impress his megalomaniac boss and the boss's luscious daughter, Lisa, by... Eager but accident-prone young executive Tom Stansfield has finally happened upon the opportunity of his lifetime: he can impress his megalomaniac boss and the boss's luscious daughter, Lisa, by simply house-sitting their lavish mansion for one night. It's a plan that could lead to love and success, if only the guests didn't keep arriving.

From director David Zucker ("The Naked Gun," "Airplane!") comes an outrageous, fast-and-rowdy romantic comedy about a young man whose quest for the girl of his dreams is interrupted by a constant flow of calamities. One by one, a barrage of wild and crazy visitors take over the house he's supposed to be watching and turn it upsidedown, as well as inside out.

MY BOSS's DAUGHTER stars Ashton Kutcher ("That 70's Show") as Tom, the hapless house sitter who manages to upend the entire neighborhood in one night, and Tara Reid ("American Pie") is the bewitchingly beautiful Lisa. Among the guests are Molly Shannon ("Saturday Night Live," "Shallow Hal") as a vengeful ex-employee and Andy Richter ("Late Night with Conan O'Brien"), as Lisa's brother, who's seeking refuge from a gun-toting, maniacal drug-dealer. Terence Stamp joins the party as Tom's power-drunk boss. The film also stars Carmen Electra, Michael Madsen, Ever Carradine, Jon Abrahams and David Koechner. -- © Dimension Films [More]

The simple premise pushes credibility beyond breaking point as ridiculous situations increase in number and size.

The spectacularly unfunny supporting cast -- including Dave Foley, Jeffrey Tambor and David Koechner -- doesn't help either. But luckily Kutcher is there to try to clean up the mess.

I don’t rate this at the bottom of the barrel because the film does have a few funny moments. But I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone with the slightest inclination to good taste.

It should have been called “My Boss’s House” because there was very little focus on the boss’s hot daughter.

I felt bad for the cameramen, editors and assistant directors who now must list this vile film on their resumes.

To say that this film, written by David Dorfman (also responsible for Anger Management), has a plot would overstate the case. It's more like a disjointed series of mishaps and gross-outs.

A numbing, end-of-summer stinker from David Zucker.

Urination can be funny. So can severed ears, folliculitis, rock-climbing trophy wives, chest self-exams and owls that drink from the toilet. Occasionally, even a massive head wound can be funny. None of these things are funny in 'My Boss’s Daughter.'

Poor acting, dreadful dialogue, absurd story, blurry images, a lack of laughs… and a sequence that gives new and horrid meaning to the term “bathroom humour.”

Simply put, the gut sensed a dog, and the gut was right. Go with the gut.

The film ... contains a nude shot of Andy Richter's rear end. Surely you do not need any more convincing than that to stay away.
