:: My Boss's Daughter ::

by Thunderdude

Greetings and salutations,

Sometimes a movie surprises you. Sometimes you know what your  getting into. "My Boss's Daughter" starring Ashton Kutcher and Tara Reid has  both of these things. The story obviously goes like this: Tom (Kutcher)  works at a publishing company and has the hots for Lisa (Reid), who is the boss's daughter. Tom wishes to woo said daughter and get in good with his boss, General Zod.......... I mean Jack (Terence Stamp). Tom's boss is an evil, over-opinionated dude that likes to fire people for breathing wrong.

Tom gets suckered into house-sitting for the boss for an  evening while his daughter goes out to a party.

From here on out, everything turns to shit for our wannabe  hero. Lisa's black sheep brother (Andy Richter) stops buy to start off the  troubles. The boss's secretary (Molly Shannon) stops buy to try and talk the boss back into giving her her job. She brings her nut job boyfriend with her and later her assortment of ridiculous friends (which includes Carmen  Electra typecast as eye candy...naturally.....no, wait I heard they're not). Tom also has to deal with the boss's owl that flew out of his cage. Throughout the movie more outrageous characters enter the mix because the writers told them too.

This movie made me laugh....a lot. I didn't even think it would be THAT funny, but it was. The ensemble cast just kept getting bigger and weirder. To Tom's bumbling straight man everyone else performs ridiculously well. Many character actors are typecast to perfection, especially Michael Madsen as an angry drug dealer. However, gross out humor did weave it's disfigured head in some ways that even I felt were a little much. But screw political correctness, never gave too much a damn for it anyway.

Aston Kutcher's bumbling character could have been played just as well by Jason Biggs. Kutcher is just prettier, I guess. Tara Reid is there for eye candy, as well she should be. Terrence Stamp plays a hardass who predictably softens up at the end. At some point I wonder if he's just pissed off being in an Aston Kutcher movie.

Despite the predictability and the cardboard cutout acting of the stars, this movie was enjoyable for the laugh factor. The ensemble cast did well to keep them coming. I would recommend this movie just to get a few laughs in.

I give it solid B.

Always munching on stale popcorn........
