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

Reviews for My Boss's Daughter
My Boss’s Daughter is crude, dumb, and completely unmemorable; in other words, it’s a perfect example of the late summer movie doldrums.
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.”
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.
Simply put, the gut sensed a dog, and the gut was right. Go with the gut.
As a movie totally absent of both humor and sexual tension, the only laughing matter in My Boss's Daughter is its classification as a romantic comedy.
It should have been called “My Boss’s House” because there was very little focus on the boss’s hot daughter.
This is a movie that boggles the mind: a bad-taste comedy that makes the average effort by the Farrelly Brothers (mysteriously thanked in the credits) look like a Merchant-Ivory film.
Even the most hard-core gross-out comedy fans will wind up being put off by the grotesque goings-on in 'My Boss’s Daughter'.
With [Kutcher and Reid] as the star-crossed couple, the title of this movie should have been Zero Plus Zero Equals Zero.
The simple premise pushes credibility beyond breaking point as ridiculous situations increase in number and size.
A comedy is supposed to be funny, which this painfully forced and often offensive film is not.
If you thought Ashton Kutcher's movie career had nowhere but up to go after Dude, Where's My Car?, wait until you see My Boss's Daughter.
This 90-minute diversion won't be sweeping any award shows anytime soon, but it is utterly painless and actually quite sweet.
It's a dopey, unfunny mess, and if anyone needs to lose their job, it oughta be the people who made this turkey.
