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. ***
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. He agrees to house-sit for his boss to meet his bosses daughter. (Hence the name.) I haven't seen the beginning, but what I have seen (Perhaps the last hour or so. I'm not sure.) I hated it.
I was at the age where I would laugh about about any comedy: Mr. Deeds, Bruce Almighty, The Waterboy, you name it. However, this wasn't funny at all. (Except for the ending.)
Why? First of all, the film hardly even makes any jokes! I just sat on the couch as Aston tries to romance the daughter. I remember one where the owl named OJ escaped and he yelled "O.J. escaped!" This scared a group of by standing girls. If you remember the O.J. Simpson trial, O.J. murdered his wife. But, who is going to remember that years from now? By then, it would be even less funnier then it already is.
The films degrades itself more by trying to make itself into a "sexy" film. This only brings it down. Why? The girl is hardly sexy. The most of her that we see is he underwear. It also makes the film look so corny and unrealistic. Or, maybe she just happens to enjoy stripping to music she considers sexy. Maybe she just happens to draw her friends naked. Surprisingly, this appeals more to women then men. (I guess they might enjoy these sort of comedies.)
It gets worse by delivering the cheesiest line in the history of cinema. It takes place when a robber points a gun at Ashton.
Ashton: *unzips pants* I've got a gun too, but you're just too afraid to use yours.
Robber: *runs away*
Bosses Daughter: That was so brave of you!
Why didn't the robber shoot? It would have ended the pain much quicker. I don't remember laughing at this part.
It even gets worse when the audience is given an unnecessary look at some guys butt. Apparently, it was a twist in the film. I don't remember ever seeing that much of the bosses daughter! However, the ending has some good psychical humor. But, it hardly redeems the horrid-ness of this movie.
Keep in mind, I liked many other comedies at the age I was when I saw this, but this was bad enough for even me to notice! (I never noticed the flaws in films.) It's hard to believe this film didn't get less then a 4.1.
Good: Well, some will enjoy its comedy and the exposure of women.
Bad: Corny, bad-acting, bad jokes, stupid, vulgar

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. I'm not sure if even the director had a clue. It was like he shot the movie in just in parts and on the automatic pilot. A waste, since David Zucker was a real capable genre director once, with movies such as "Airplane!" and "The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad" on his résumé. Seems like the movie wasn't put together until it hit the editing room, who randomly just put sequences in order. This definitely shows in the movie, since it gets messy and disjointed to watch. It also makes the movie overlong and tiresome at times. You just want all these people to leave and get things over with. Seems the movie doesn't know when to end things and when things just seize to be funny. 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. Here we have an actor who has had a great career- but no-one has really heard off. I know Ashton Kutcher has gotten a lot of crap over him but he's capable at what he's doing. I just like him as an actor. He's a good comedy actor and besides has got the right looks for his roles. The movie also has some well known actors in the supporting cast. The most surprising name was Michael Madsen. You don't too often get to see him in a comedy. 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. I mean what is that draws these two people together? They have no chemistry and its a real mismatch.
But admittedly the movie is entertaining. Some sequences and moments make the movie worthwhile, although as a whole I wouldn't really recommend this movie to anybody.

First off, I hate movies that gets really embarrassing. 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. He is looking for his big break, but Jack isn't the easiest guy to be around. Lisa Taylor (Reid) gets Tom to watch her daddy's bird, while she goes to a party. 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. Other that that the only highlight was Carmen Electra falling in the fountain, and could have been in a "miss wet t-shirt" competition.
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.. EVER.

Lots of good gags, but the situations are just too stupid to believe. It also has a few new gross-outs to make you want to spit your popcorn out.
Knowing the ending won't make a difference. If you're going to see this, don't let anyone tell you the gags. That and the acting are what pull this movie along.
