A misunderstanding leads Tom Stansfield (Ashton Kutcher), a mild-mannered publishing house employee, to house-sit for his boss, Jack Taylor (Terence Stamp), instead of Jack's daughter, Lisa (Tara Reid), who goes partying. While Lisa is away, her older brother hides some drugs in the bathroom, which the family's pet owl ingests, causing it to behave erratically. Lisa comes home and starts to take a liking to Tom, but the situation is interrupted by an upset drug dealer and other mayhem.

Critics Consensus

Offensive, incoherent, and ineptly acted and directed.

Painfully awkward and out of sync from the first scene, in which Kutcher, horribly miscast as a big dork, swoons over Tara Reid, horribly miscast as a dreamy love interest.

The only real physical comedy in My Boss's Daughter comes from Zucker, Dorfman, and Kutcher stumbling over each other, but it's unlikely anyone will laugh.

Kutcher comedy is crude, offensive, and all-around bad.

The real disaster is the slapstick-ridden script, which a great supporting cast is powerless to salvage.

A pretty good cast and a pretty good director are pretty much wasted in My Boss's Daughter.

The best so bad it’s good movie I’ve seen in my entire life. If you need a movie to watch with your friends just to laugh your butts off at, this is the movie for you. It’s is so incredibly stupid and awful, but never boring. Delicious garbage, as they say.

Filme bacana, o roteiro é bacaninha, as cenas são bacanas, a história é bacaninha, o elenco é bacana, e a maioria ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são bacaninhas, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes. Uma cena sem sentido foi o ex namorado da lisa entrou na casa dela do nada e queria se matar e foda-se, com tudo isso, eu meio que recomendo esse filme.

No lie, this might be the worst movie that I have ever watched in my entire life. If I could give this 0 stars, I would. I honestly cannot think of a single redeemable quality in this movie. The plot is chaotic (not in a good way), the characters are all shallow and ridiculously dumb, and I was tempted to turn it off more than once. Best Character: None Best Quote: None Best Scene: None

I like to wonder about what the actors thought when they got this script and were making it. It’s so bad.

I'm so glad I'm seeing this for the first time in 2024, as someone who grew up in the peak of corny over the time it's so bad it's good comedies, prime Adam Sandler movies and when they made spoofs of everything, this so brings me back to that era. this is such nostalgic nonsensical humor. actually makes you laugh out loud at the absurdity. just goofy. and I miss these character archetypes. back when everyone looked original and felt like someone you'd know in your hometown. have a couple beers, smoke a j and put this one on with friends and just have a feel good time.
