My Boss's Daughter
Review by Clint Morris
 Where
would the film industry be without home entertainment? What
would happen if there were no such thing as Video or DVD,
merely only Cinema?
In essence, it'd mean slapdash contemptible comedies like
the one on hand would be ignored.
Because, admit it, film's like My Boss's Daughter
are intended for no more than a 'buy-one, rent-one-free' night
at Blockbuster. Even then, they're not worth the money or
time spent watching it.
Tom [Ashton Kutcher] is desperate to date the boss's [Terence
Stamp] daughter [Tara Reid]. But what he mistakes as an invitation
for a night out together, is actually a request to housesit
the family mansion while Daddy and daughter are out.
Regrettably, Tom then finds himself guarding the house of
all houses for the night. Fighting off former disgruntled
employees, potential burglars, and trying to get hold of the
family owl that's escaped.
Or something along those lines, because frankly, proceedings
are so cluttered and all over the place, you even wonder whether
there was a predetermined story set in stone before the cameras
rolled.
Admittedly, there's a couple of passable gags here and there,
but for the most part they're deeply concealed within an abundance
of tasteless, unfunny stuff that'll have more tuning out than
holding their belly's from giggle-fits. Which is obviously
what Director David Zucker would've preferred.
Word to Ashton Kutcher: You got Punk'd mate.
