I seen this movie and i thot it was the funniest thing ever there are so many time then you just cant help lol. I dont understand how someone could think this was not funny. they much not have a sence of humer in then, cas this movie was so funny from start to end, im even thinking about buying it myself so i can watch it over and over agen and agen. i would reamed this movie for any one who loves the funness of a guy from that 70's show and anyone who is just looking for a go lol

IDE GIVE IT 4 IN A HALF. I NEVER SAW THAT MANY PREVIEWS TO BUT I RENTED IT WHEN CAME ON VIDEO ANYWAYS. IT TURNED OUT GREAT. IT WAS SO FUNNY. I EVEN BOUGHT IT. MOST PEOPLE SEEM TO NOT LIKE IT BUT I DO. I THINK IT WAS HILARIOUS. IDE RECOMEND IT 2 ANYONE WHO HAS A SINCE OF HUMOR

This movie is crap! I see why it sat on the shelf for 2 years , it only had 2 or 3 funny parts/gags in the film and that's a shame since David Zucker was behind this mess. The DVD is even terrible with few extras and a soft picture. An owl named O.J. and Andy Richter were wasted.

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

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.

My Boss's Daughter has had a strange history. First thought of only as a direct to video release, it was only after "it" boy and hearthrob Ashton Kutcber, had all that success, that the powers that be rethought that plan and decided on a theatrical release. It was hoped that Kutcher and former "Pie" gal, Tara Reid would create box office gold. After seeing the film, I'm not sure, that even the first idea would have made any more "gold".

Young executive Tom Stansfield (Kutcher) works for the boss from hell, but he is also falling in love with the boss from hell's irresistible daughter, Lisa (Reid). Tom is stoked though, when he is offered the chance to housesit for Mr. Taylor, (Terrence Stamp) he is ready to impress his unimpressible boss while simultaneously making his move on Lisa. Or so he thinks. The evening of his housesitting job, his plan goes astray with an seemingly innocent ring of the doorbell. Suddenly, Tom is faced with a house "teeming" with chaos, and the possibility that he might lose not only his mind and his job, but also his only chance with Lisa, as well.

You would think having David Zucker, one of the men resposible for comidies like Airplane! and Police Sqaud, would be a good thing here. Unfortunately, the script is so hackneyed and predictible, that Zucker is constrained. We have seen all of the jokes before, in every other "housesitter" and romantic comedy out there. Of course, Kutcher is allowed to do his infamous physical comedy bits that he does in almost every one of his films. A good actor like Stamp has no business appearing in a movie like this. Reid and Kutcher lack any real chemistry in the film--Reid looks bored and I can't believe she chose this project over American Wedding.

If can sit still long enough to make it to the DVD bonus material (it was hard but I did it), you will find only the audio commentary by Zucker, worrth your time. After listening to this, I almost felt bad for him, as he tried to put the film, the best light. The behind the scenes featurette is your typical "fluff" piece. The few deleted scenes wouldn't have made the film any better-added to it or not. You can see Tara Reid's audition tapes, and if you really want to search for it, there's an additional deleted scene easter egg.

I didn't bother comparing the R-rated version to the theatical veersion--what's the point really. A real stinker in any form I would think. * and a half stars

My Boss's Daughter is about a nervous, nice guy named Tom Stansfield (Ashton Kutcher), who becomes attracted to his boss's daughter Lisa (Tara Reid). When Tom's plans to go on a date with Lisa go wrong and he end's up watching his boss's house; everything goes wrong.
Not only was My Boss's Daughter a dreadful movie filled with teen comedy clichés; but it was complete Hollywood comedy garbage. The acting was pathetic; I didn't know who to be more embarrassed for; the cast and everyone involved in this trash or me for wasting money on it. The laughs were limited and very few jokes were actually funny; most of the jokes were lame and overdone and on top of all that My Boss's Daughter tries to add romance in its unfunny, cliché plot.
The dialogue was completely awful; much like Ashton Kutcher's similar teen comedy "Just married" (2003) which was just as pathetic and unfunny. The cast should be a warning for disaster.
A better teen comedy that I would recommend would be "Sorority boys" (2002) which was extremely hilarious and the jokes were excellent. It is easy to say that My Boss's Daughter is a disgrace to the whole genre and should be avoided. Movies such as this should not be encouraged.
I saw no difference between the R-rated version or PG-13 version; I really didn't see a point in making the R-rated version; even with a slight bit of nudity; this comedy is still flatter than a pancake and should be avoided unless you are into cheap teen comedies.
Why do people even bother making such awful movies with such high budgets? In the end; it is nothing more than another cheap comedy on the shelf.

*MY BOSS'S DAUGHTER PG-13* When all was said and done, this movie was just that, a movie. I had fun with watching it, but it just seemed rushed. Perhaps it's bad editing or lame and predictable dialog, I can't quite put my finger on it, but the flow of the movie is rough and bumpy at best. I felt like I'd seen this all before. It has some very funny moments that make it worth the price of a rental. I wouldn't recommend paying full price for this though. Wait 'till the price goes down, way down. I paid about $8 for it and I got taken for a couple of bucks.

I want to point out that although it is true that my wife has gotten up and walked out on the last couple of DVDs that we have rented to watch that she is the one who picked the evening's fare the last couple of nights. At least what I sat through was the R rated edition of "My Boss's Daughter," which means either they put the good parts back in after Hollywood forced director David Zucker to make unwarranted cuts (half full theory) or they had no where to go so any changes were for the best (half empty theory). Zucker might have been the director of this film, but instead of recalling "Airplane" or "The Naked Gun" all this film made me think was that apparently not everybody can pull off what the Farrelly Brothers have been doing in their raunchy comedies. The creidt, or lack thereof, clearly falls to writer David Dorfman, but Zucker should have recognized how insipid this script was right away. Star Ashton Kutcher got a credit as co-producer of this film; he should see about giving it back.

This 2003 film has a strong opening and closing because we have the Barenaked Ladies singing "If I Had a Million Dollars." Unfortunately what we are treated to in the film ends up being the bare naked rear ends of Terrence Stamp and Andy Richter, although there is the obligatory Carmen Electra in a wet t-shirt sequence. The plot (actually it is more of a situation) is that nice guy Tom Stansfield (Kutcher) thinks he is being asked to a party by Lisa (Tara Reid) the daughter of his boss, Jack Taylor (Terence Stamp). Instead he is going to be house sitting...for the evening. Right away that should tell you this film is heading in the wrong direction. Tom is given careful instructions by his boss, which basically sets up everything that will go wrong in the next hour all because he cannot stop any of the growing assortment of oddball characters who show up from entering the house or get any of them to leave. Included in this group are Richter as Lisa's trouble brother, Michael Madsen as a thug named T.J. in a testimonial to have far his career has gone downhill since "Reservoir Dogs," and Molly Shannon as the fired secretary who will not go away.

The DVD extras are interesting because they show us that this film could have been even worse. You have to click on Simon to find it, but there is a video version of a key scene near the end of the film that Zucker made to convince the studio to let him film it for real. In a sense it was the one scene that sort of redeemed the film, at least on one level, so leaving it out of the equation would have made of "My Boss's Daughter" even more laughable (but in a bad way). The person who is most wasted in this film is Stamp, who steals all of the early scenes and then gets reduced to be the butt of jokes at the end (sorry, my resistance is down to such quips at this point). Kutcher is essentially playing the straight man here, so he really does nothing offensive, just watches everybody else try to tank their careers. Is there a message buried in this film? I mean, besides the importance of regular breast exams to check for lumps? Sure: love your kids more than your bird. Apparently some people do not know this so this film will be news for them. Next week we are going to try and sit through "Gigli." I cannot possibly believe that it could be worse than this film.

although this movie was hilarious, i dont see how the title relates to the movie. THis movie is a must have! Youll lyao!!
