My Bosses Daughter

My Boss's Daughter - *1/2

From director David Zucker, who was the mind behind brilliant comedies such as Airplane, BASEketball and the Naked Gun films, My Boss's Daughter is a tragically unfunny movie that makes the fatal assumption that throwing A-list actors on screen with a lame script will somehow suceed with teenaged audiences. Starring inexplicable celebrities Ashton Kutcher and Tara Reid, the film follows Kutcher's Tom Stansfield, the reserved employee who has feelings for the boss' daughter Lisa(hence the title). When Lisa asks him to housesit for her, he misunderstands the invitation and accepts without question, but when he attempts to follow through on his promise, all hell breaks loose. Now while the film is loaded with ex-SNL cast members and seasoned comedic performers, it is inexplicably bogged down in tired comedic cliches. There is not a single original moment in this film, and for this reason it leaves an odd taste upon it's completion- as if you've already been fed this bullshit before. People like Jeffrey Tambor and Michael Madsen are completely wasted in this derivative embarassment. Thumbs down. I said this was one of the worst films of 2003, and I stand by that.
