I'm not a big Kurcher fan, but I was mildly surprised at how funny this actually was. The events were not stop, and his reactions to the whole mess actually seemed real. I've seen him on That 70's Show for years, and thought that this was the extent of his acting prowess. I've also heard that he did a very good job on the Butterfly Effect, but I've yet to see that.
I did like the chemistry between Ashton and Tara Reid. But then again, it's Tara Reid!! How can you NOT have chemistry with her, right?
Overall, I enjoyed the movie quite a bit, and laughed out loud in numerous places. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to spend a mindless 90 minutes getting away from it all. Enjoy.

Man. About 6 or 7 completely hilarious scenes make this movie worthy of much more praise than a lot of contemporary comedies out there. How can you not like the Michael Madsen/Ashton Kutcher showdown in the living room? "PUT THE GUN DOWN...OR I WILL BLOW YOUR ASS TO F%&K-TOWN!!!" I fell out of my chair man. I just fell out of it. Zucker's still got it, for the most part. ***
Tom Stansfield (Ashton Kutcher) works in a publisher and has a very tough boss, Jack Taylor (Terence Stamp). He aims to have the chance to work in the Creation Department of the company. Tom is `Mr. Nice Guy', never being upset and helping his colleagues, and has a crush on Lisa Taylor (Tara Reid), the daughter of Jack. When Jack has to travel to Singapore, Lisa is in charge to housesit her father's house. However, she has a party in the evening and invites Tom to go to her place. Tom misunderstands the invitation of Lisa, thinking it was for a date with her, but when he arrives at the house, Jack is waiting for him with lots of recommendations and procedures to be followed. Jack has obsession for a neat house and his pride and joy is an owl. I believe it is no spoiler to say the everything goes wrong with Tom along the night, with the owl escaping and the most weird visitors arriving in and destroying the house. Although being very silly and full of clichés, sort of `Risky Business' and `Meet the Parents' together, this movie is also very funny. Using lots of scatological and black humor, it is almost impossible not laughing in many situations. Forgettable, but I liked it. Further, the DVD is full of extras. My vote is seven.

Well what can I say? The film is somewhat funny and bearable enough to finish but is tedious to the point of painful meanwhile kills time. The writers clearly were adamant about timing but it was effortful and the humor was sprinkled. Out of clear desperation the plot piggy backs off of earlier material to lay it on thick and is overall outlandish. Any form of appeal that the creators thought they could use they did whether it be through obscenity or provocation, I don't know who the target audience was but definitely not the classy type. Ashton Kutcher was put in a role that didn't seem too believable initially but then started to make sense as the film drew on but still in the end only proved to be utilitarian in the sense of making the film work not due to Ashton seeming the type. This film tapped into some striking issues regarding everything from race to weight and could've been funny yet influential but in the end goofiness took president over all else.
"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. Things start to happen and hell breaks loose. Nothing actually makes sense, but so what? It's not supposed to. 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.
