My Boss's Daughter (2003) 7/10

Starring : Ashton Kutcher, Tara Reid, Andy Richter, Terence Stamp, Molly Shannon
Director : David Zucker
Running Time : 91 mins

Tom Stansfield (Kutcher) is in love with his boss’s daughter, Lisa Taylor (Reid), so when she asks him on a date he jumps at the chance. Unfortunately she is actually asking him to house sit so that she can go out, and Tom’s boss Jack (Stamp), who is a tyrant at the best of times, will not be happy if anything goes wrong… obviously, everything does!

This isn’t the best comedy ever made, but its slapstick nature more than makes up for the predictable plot line and one dimensional characters. You’d think Kutcher would be out of place as the sensible yet put upon employee, but he manages to pull it off, though it’s a little sad to see Terence Stamp reduced to this sort of movie.
