Lighten up you naysayers, this is SO fetch

This is so totally an underrated comedy. There's this guy sent to his boss's house to babysit the boss's owl. As for the boss, you have no idea how mean he is. The poor guy has to make sure he leaves the house spotless -- it's so sad. And you know what so totally happens in a comedy like this! Havoc so totally breaks out! Our poor hapless hero likes the boss's daughter, as you might have guessed from the title. But he is totally so skating on thin ice, just trying to get through the evening without disaster, not to even mention trying to win the girl of his dreams. Watch this so totally hilarious comedy and see if anything will go right on this night of a so totally long shot for avoiding calamity.

Yes, it *is* that bad.

This movie is idiotic to a point that makes the average Three Stooges storyhave the depth of an Alfred Hitchcock thriller. And I'm talking about oneof the ones with Curley Joe.This movie can only be entertaining to pre-teens. If Police Academy 5 keptyou up at night discussing plot twists, you might be right for thismovie.I made it further than some people. I came to within 30 minutes of theending before turning it off. DO NOT pay to see this movie. Wait till itis available for free before wasting the time. There are far to many moviesthat are better than this. As a matter of fact, ALL ofthem!

very funny from start to finish

I watched this film with my family at home and we all loved it. wethink had we seen it at the movies you would not have been able to hearit for laughter there's only two things wrong with this film and theyare that when the boss's house is being wrecked Tara Reid the daughterseems to be completely oblivious to this and the other thing is thatyou 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 lighthearted no brainer comedies then I'm sure like me you will see that theother reviewers or looking to far into this movie it isn't meant to bea long time love affair buy on DVD and keep it forever its simply whambam thank you mam this was fun see you around sometime.well worth £3.75at blockbuster go on have a giggle.

I got a refund

This movie was so bad that the theatre offered a refund to everyone.Poorlydirected, ripped off 80's movies, and distasteful.Definition of distasteful: obnoxious, repellent, repugnant, repulsive;abominable, detestableEnough said.

If you are looking for comedy, avoid at all costs!

MindBlowing...Probably the first word that strikes you when u finish watching thismovie---why would anybody in their right mind even bother making this"pieceof crap"! And to think Ashton Kutcher was actually the exec-producer! Justwhen I was beginning to think that Ashton might actually have a future asanactor after his very identifiable role in "the butterfly effect", he jumpsright back at you and slaps you right in the face with something likethis.In a nutshell, this movie is thoroughly avoidable, and can bewatchedonly at the extremeties of one's boredom when one has nothing else topossibly do. Why this movie was labelled as a comedy was beyond me. Allthejokes were beyond lame, and the slapstick humour(supposed) was just gross!At times one wondered whether this was a spoof---the way some scenes werepicturised, if it was, well, i'm happy as hell i haven't seen theoriginal!Plotline is wafer thin. Only Highlights in the movie are the strikinglybeautiful Tara Reid, and a refreshing cameo by Michael Madsen. A buxomCarmen Electra is also seen running around in between frames for an eyecandy visual feel. And to think that the owl in the movie was actually acentral character...!Only thing worth looking forward to in the movie was the wet t-shirtgigby carmen electra. Don't stay for all the disgusting urination scenes etal... there are better ways to get nauseatic than this farce!

Incredibly bad

I have to confess that I did not see the whole movie. Thirty minutes wasallI could take.Every aspect of this movie is so bad, one doesn't know where to start.Theonly good thing you can say about this movie is that somehow escapedmakingit to the list worst 10 films of all time.It might be a misnomer to really call it a movie. It has a few "actors"walking around and talking;we have some background music etc. So,technically it probably qualifies as a movie. However, it has no plot,logical sequence of events, coherent speech, rational beginning orend.

Worst Ashton Kutcher comedy by far. Not even slightly amusing. (No Spoilers)

This is the first time I'm entering a comment for a movie I haven'tviewed till the credits. Reason for this is simple...people need to bewarned: this is one of the worst comedies of the new millennium. Iusually stay away from a good deal of comedies that are in bad tastebut I reckoned this to be watchable. A regrettable decision which wasbased on other Ashton Kutcher comedies that were (semi-) enjoyable suchas A Lot Like Love and Guess Who.Where those two movies had their charms and laughs, this had none (andI mean none!!). The acting is horrible, especially the 'boss'. TaraReid was no surprise, how dare she call herself an actress?! Thepremise is thin and the plot doesn't thicken at all. Not a problem ifyou manage to keep it funny and/or sweet...but as you probably alreadyguessed, this was not the cast at all! The script felt like it wasn'tquite finished and I wouldn't even be baffled if the director did somerewrites while shooting. My dog could've written a more coherentscript, seriously. And he's not exactly Lassie either :-).Stay away from this tripe even if you like silly goof-ball comedies attimes (like I do). This low quality movie will not be enjoyed bymany...I (almost) never give a one so therefore...a 2.

Even Mr. Ty-Dee-Bol would have trouble dealing with this cinematic bowel movement

Director Zucker practically pioneered the gross-out/parody film genrethat began with "Airplane!" and continued with "Hot Shots" and seguedinto the more current "There's Something About Mary" blend of farcicalhumor blended with icky sight gags. "Airplane!" has been counted as oneof the all-time funniest films, but with this one, Zucker must be sentto the doghouse. Kutcher (who has built a career out of playing jokeson people, but this one's on him!) plays a young executive whounintentionally winds up house-sitting for his impossibly imperiousboss (Stamp.) He thought he was going to hook up with Stamp's daughterReid, but instead is forced to feed and medicate an aged owl and keeporder in a house which is as sterile and perfect as one in any photospread of an architectural or design magazine. Naturally, this meansthat a parade of unlikely (and unlikable) characters come clumping in,destroying everything in sight and causing an astonishing amount ofstress for the hapless (and dim) Kutcher. Just when the house is atit's lowest ebb of destruction, Stamp is about to return home, so amiraculous recovery is in order. These types of movies are always asource of frustration for the audience because viewers are helpless todo anything about the continual, insane acts of the characters ploddingthrough while the idiotically non-assertive lead allows it all tohappen with very little resistance. The characters of "Airplane!" and"There's Something About Mary" may not always have done the right thingand the situations were always far from believable. but for the mostpart, they were entertaining to watch and enjoyable to be around. Thisfilm has the most unendearing, jarringly aggravating pallet ofcharacters imaginable! Virtually everyone is annoying. Kutcher does aswell as can be expected in a very thin role. He hasn't got a script toprovide any sort of characterization, so he is basically just a prop.Reid, despite some good lighting, is unable to mask her many, MANY hardnights out on the town and who knows where else. She is thoroughlyunbelievable throughout, both as an executive (!) and as a loveinterest. Stamp, while ridiculously rigid, at least has the presenceand talent to gain the audience's attention and provide a sense ofmenace. It's degrading to see him in such a piece of garbage (and hisreputation doesn't escape completely unscathed, but he fares betterthan most of the participants.) Shannon (who somehow receives theprestige billing that ought to have gone to Stamp) plays the same basicthing as always...a clueless dullard with awkward physicality who makesa mess of everything. The film's parodic sensibilities are clear,though some people expecting a more realistic comedy have been confusedby the mix. It matters little anyway since the film has virtuallynothing to offer in the way of wit, cleverness, humor or entertainment.It's just an excruciating exercise in stupidity and vulgarity (which isitself hampered by trying to maintain a PG-13 rating!)

Who knows what to think...

If you have seen any of the promos for this movie, you don't go to see it expecting an Oscar worthy experience. You might actually expect it to be pretty bad, but it could be some nice matinee mind numbing fun.Well, it turns out that this movie isn't any sort of guilty pleasure at all. It starts off mediocre and gets increasingly dreadful as each scene passes. The interesting note is that Ashton Kutcher isn't the problem. He does an admirable job of trying to be Chevy Chase in this film, but this is proof that even a charming comedic actor can't save a movie that is destined to be used for teenage drinking games. Tara Reid is literally useless in this movie. She is barely in it and she struggles so much during her scenes that it makes you wonder whether or not she is even happy with her career. Carmen Electra sort of cameos and you will be left wondering just how bad her finances are that she would agree to this. This material is even below her days on Hyperion Bay. Molly Shannon is a comic treat, but her antics are becoming a bit predictable. She was a scene stealer in this movie and if you have the misfortune of seeing this movie, you will count your blessings that she got the part.All blame must be heaped upon the director. Who knows which type of ridiculous slapstick comedy he was hoping for, but nothing consistent was achieved. The mundane, the ridiculous, the romantic, the sugary sweet, the trite... it was all explored here... he couldn't settle on anything so he thought he would just go for it all. I never thought I would find myself saying this, but Keenan Ivory Wayans and the Scary Movie series is pure genuis in comparison. Don't see this movie. If you do, please go in with incredibly low expectations so that you don't leave feeling victimized. Or just have a few drinks first.

This is not a comedy, it's a tragedy.

I didn't like one bit of this movie. It was more like a Greek Tragedyplay than a modern day comedy. It made me feel bad. Feel bad becausethe jokes were pretty bad, the plot was pretty bad and it felt like itwas going to go on forever. Add to that, that we have seen this type ofmovies for years. We know how it's going to end. It tries to besomewhat serious at times. The movie brings up some issues that wouldbetter be left in dramas or TV Series. Not in comedy films, featuringAshton Kutcher and Tara Reid.The plot is about Tom Stansfield, that is working for some bigpublishing company. He has some great ideas for books, but is afraid ofhis boss, who happens to be a huge monster. At one point he starts tolike this girl, who also works for the company. She asks Tom if hecould watch her and her fathers house for her when she goes to a party.It just so happens that her father is Tom Stansfield's boss.Of course, Tom gets himself into numerous "hilarious" situations, whichwe all have seen dozens of times before. It's somewhat similar to HomeAlone, in the way that Tom gets unexpected visits from a dozenuninvited guests that stir up some "fun" situations.I found myself extremely annoyed at Ashton Kutchers character. Becausehe was never developed, and all he ever did was getting yelled at bydifferent people, and never has the courage to stand up for himself.Instead he just utters a couple of lines and accepts what's happeningto him. This kind of cheap character development is extremely annoying.In the end scene he just "pops" up and suddenly he has developed and isbrave 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 arecrap, everything about this film is below par. Add to that that this socalled "comedy" actually makes you depressed! That, if anything,warrants a "Extremely Bad Comedy" stamp.I give it a 3/10. We've seen it ALL before. Absolutely nothing new. Andnothing funny...

The WORST romantic comedy ever!

This has got to be the WORST romantic comedy I have ever seen! I knowmostromantic comedies are lighter fare - that's part of what I enjoy aboutthem.But this movie was just plain STUPID! There were maybe thirty secondsofreality in the entire movie. It was not funny at all, barely mildlyamusingonce or twice. I kept waiting for it to get better, but it never did.Whata disappointment!

A descent, yet stupid, comedy.

I'm definitely not a Ashton Kutcher fan, and I'm rarely a fan ofmainstream comedies. 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 plotdescription, you gather that Ashton's character has to housesit for hissadistic boss, and basically the entire movie is a ridiculous rompthrough every possible thing that could go wrong with such a simpletask. The humor is crude, and will occasionally make you cringe in moreways than one. You're certainly not laughing with anyone in the movie,you laugh at them. The characters are composed with blatant flaws thatkeep the movie going, but do so in a fairly entertaining fashion, andthere's enough plot to keep you interested enough that you actuallykind of want to know what happens.This movie isn't as bad as the voting seems to suggest, and if you'relooking for a brainless comedy, this is a good choice. You won't be inawe of this film's greatness, but you will probably be entertained.

STUPID, BUT FUNNY

This movie is so stupid but it still managed to make me laugh, unlike "Dumb and Dumberer"(that I also rented tonight) which has got to be one of the most moronic and stupid movies ever made. I could only get through a half hour of it before I had to slam the disc back in its case to be rushed back to the video store.

Hilarious Farce

With a cast like the one starring in this comedy how can it go wrong? It doesn't and is actually a funny romp filled with pranks and antics.Ashton Kutcher plays a quiet young man secretly carrying a crush on his boss's daughter, Tara Reid. The boss is a rigid, angry business man who expects perfection and no errors; he is perfectly cast and played by Terence Stamp. The story begins with Kutcher accepting a house-sitting job for Reid believing he was going to have a date instead. He is given strict rules and regulations on what not to do in the house by his boss, he is to feed and doctor a pet owl (with all sorts of neurotic behaviors), leave no damage to anything and protect the house from invaders (despite a bear trap on the lawn meant to do so). Needless to say all hell breaks loose when a cast of characters shows up filled with comedic havoc (Andy Richter, Molly Shannon, Michael Madsen, Jeffrey Tambor, Carmen Electra and Dave Foley). This film is filled with great comedy, silly antics and a constant stream of characters that will keep you laughing from beginning to end. Kutcher shines as the inept hero and the other comedians perfect their odd roles and bring them to hilarious life, get ready to laugh!

Lighten up, folks!

Just caught this on Comedy Central. Somme of the reviews I read weresillier than this movie - no small feat.If you go see a movie with Molly Shannon, Tara Reid, Ashton Kutcher,Carmen Electra, and Andy Richter, what exactly should you expect? Ifyou said a silly movie with simple dialogue and lots of sight gags, youshouldn't be surprised. Tara is as vacant as always, Molly is her usualunderrated lunatic self, Ashton is testing his movie limits, Carmen ...does she even speak?, Andy Richter's just collecting a paycheck.It's a perfect white noise movie - something you can have on whileyou're cleaning or something. Not so bad that you won't crack a smilefairly often, but it's not going to be difficult to look away while youscrub the oven.

Ending stank, but the middle section was enjoyable.

I've seen all That 70s Show episodes and I really like Ashton Kutcheras the pretty boy Michael Kelso. I had seen The Butterfly Effect beforethis movie and it was a very positive and welcome surprise that Kutcherhas the ability to act in dramas. Kutcher was good in this movie toobut the plot just was...bad. Well at least the ending.Okay, so these "friends" come popping in to an apartment that Kutcheris supposed to take care off. Among them are Andy Richter and MollyShannon whom were kind of funny.The middle section of this movie was pretty funny but the ending wasjust so weak. Because of that I will give this movie a mediocre rating.But in the end, I've seen worse movies.

Without Terence Stamp, I might have kept a straight face throughout this increasingly lame comedy!

It was just last week when I watched "Just Married", which I didn'tthink was very funny, and now I've also seen "My Boss's Daughter",another romantic comedy starring Ashton Kutcher, which was releasedlater the same year as the other one. I first came across the title ofthis one a little while earlier, since it was directed by David Zucker.I've seen a bunch of comedies which he was heavily involved in themaking of, and have found several of them funny, unsurprisinglyincluding "Airplane!" and "The Naked Gun: From the Files of PoliceSquad!" However, this 2003 comedy, directed by Zucker and written byDavid Dorfman, certainly misses the mark, and as a romantic comedystarring Kutcher, it's even weaker than the overall mediocre "JustMarried"! Tom Stansfield works for a publishing company as a researcher. Hebelieves he should be part of this company's creative departmentinstead, but his boss, Jack Taylor, is so overbearing that the youngresearcher is too intimidated to talk to him about his ideas. Tom alsohas a crush on Jack's daughter, Lisa. One day at work, she approachesTom and tells him about a party she wants to attend, but her father ismaking her housesit on the night this party is happening. Tomencourages her to stand up to Jack and go to this party, and sheinvites the young man to come over to the Taylor mansion that night. Hearrives thinking she has invited him to the party, but she's not therewhen he arrives, and it turns out that she just wanted him to take herplace as the housesitter for the night. So, Jack leaves Tom to lookafter the house, but as the housesitter tries to make sure that nothinggoes wrong, he finds that EVERYTHING goes wrong, with people coming inuninvited, breaking Jack's rules, and trashing the place! The humour is basically mediocre at the beginning, showing theprotagonist on the subway trying to talk to Lisa, with nothing toofunny, 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 helpbut smile several times, even laugh a little a couple times, duringearly scenes with the Jack Taylor character, played by Terence Stamp,including the first conversation we see between him and Tom, though Ididn't find the "retard" part very amusing. Stamp does an impressivejob delivering some fairly funny lines, and his performance is the onlyone here I can really praise. After Tom is left alone at the Taylormansion, it isn't funny as various people come in and make a mess,which Tom REALLY doesn't want to happen, and the romance between Tomand Lisa is also pretty cheesy. This housesitting session isn't funnyto begin with, but the gags get worse. There certainly are some notablylame and juvenile gags, including the urination ones, and I can'tforget the Julie character. Her severe head wound is meant to be ajoke, but it's not funny at all. The lamest part of the entire film isprobably her leaving blood on everything the back of her head touches! Many viewers might think that this juvenile 2003 romantic comedy ishorrendous all around, but I can't usually describe a film like that,and this one is no exception. However, I've made it clear that I stilldon't think it's very funny, and I'm certainly not puzzled at all bythe film's bad reputation. As a flick directed by David Zucker, itmarked a low point in his career, and apparently, this is the onlymovie that David Dorfman wrote, other than "Anger Management", whichwas made shortly before this film. While his other comedy, co-starringAdam Sandler and Jack Nicholson, can be lame in places, it sure isfunnier than this dreck! My vote for "My Boss's Daughter" is four starsout of ten, even if it looked more like five stars around thebeginning. If it weren't for Terence Stamp's performance here, with theactor still showing his talent despite the film's poor quality, my votewould probably be one star lower.

It was ok

It was ok not too funny. THERE IS NOT NUDITY MOMENTS of Tara Reid. I repeat NONE! So if you were hopeing like I was it ain't gonna happen. Close but no pie. Stick with google if your lookin for that. Crude Humor.... Do yourself a favor Buy Meet the Parents

The aspiring director's guide to what a movie SHOULDN'T be

This movie is perfect for any aspiring screen writer, actor ordirector. By watching this movie you will see all the things that arewrong with the film industry as it is today. There are so many clichésthat it pained me to sit through this movie. Nothing about it isoriginal and every single line spoken has been ripped off from thoseclichéd movies that we all saw in the 90's. Although it does have a fewcheap laughs, overall it is wrong wrong wrong. I was so immensely boredand the movie was so predictable and pathetic i actually noticed howmuch make-up was caked onto Tara Reid's face to hide those massive bagsand wrinkles from her endless partying. Seriously, she was wearing somuch foundation you could literally scrape it off and refill an entirebottle of it.What shocked me though was that so many of the talented and popularcast would sign on for this piece of junk. And i do NOT know how i satthrough that horrible screaming that Ashton Kutcher does, you know whenhe's like angry or something and he shouts his words in this annoyingmanner? Ashton's horrifying "talking", Tara's face being ten shadesdarker than her neck, a drugged up owl, a script that seemed like thework of a three-year-old...Seriously, in my whole life there has been no movie that i have watchedthat i did not in someway enjoy no matter how bad it was. This deservesan award for being the first. BAD BAD BAD... I don't think there is asingle word in the English dictionary that can possibly describe thistrashy movie. Today i was trying to re-watch it but i had to turn itoff like ten minutes in because i was about to cry from theoverwhelming amount of clichés.Don't even bother to rent this at your blockbuster, it's not worth acent, as a matter of fact i am willing to pay anyone out thereconsidering to watch this movie so they can go do something decent withtheir lives.

I would have asked for my money back, even if nothing had burned

Less than halfway through "My Boss's Daughter," which we had chosen becausethe preview we had tickets for was postponed, something apparently startedto burn in the control room in the theater we were at. Thankfully, the smellstarted to drift down to our seats, and that gave us a valid reason to askfor a money back without getting an argument from the movie theater'sstaff.This movie was, simply, the worst movie I've ever seen. And I've seen somehorrible ones. It was completely and utterly boring. Not only is it a comedythat fails at being even remotely funny, but there's also just nothing tolaugh *at* about the movie. Everything is forced and contrived, and ratherthan empathizing with Ashton Kutcher's hapless character Tom, you just wantto get as far away from the pathetic schmo and the entire movie aspossible.I can not recommend staying away from this movie strong enough. Don't go tothe theater. Don't rent it. If it's on Comedy Central in six months, justkeep on clickin'. It's not worth it.
