A Top 10 Movie Conversation
posted on 05 Jun 2009A Baltimore Bob Top Ten Conversation of all Movies:When Tom (Ashton Kutcher) is being told by Jack (Terence Stamp) what he has to do to house sit he introduces him to his bird. Jack: My Bird's name is OJ. Tom: The Murderer ? Jack: No - The Football Player ! I say that was just too funny. The Dialogue was delivered perfectly by these two actors. Ashton always plays the part of someone that gets taken advantage of and Terence Stamp always plays the role of someone that takes advantage of someone like Ashton. Terence was the best actor they could have gotten to play the role of The Yes Man in 'Yes Man' (2008) as Terrence Bundley. That's also funny as he had the same first name in the role except with an extra 'r'.Baltimore Bob
The good outweighs the bad.
posted on 19 Mar 2009Man. About 6 or 7 completely hilarious scenes make this movie worthy of much more praise than a lot of contemporary comedies out there. How can you not like the Michael Madsen/Ashton Kutcher showdown in the living room? "PUT THE GUN DOWN...OR I WILL BLOW YOUR ASS TO F%&K-TOWN!!!" I fell out of my chair man. I just fell out of it. Zucker's still got it, for the most part. ***
Waste of Time
posted on 15 Mar 2009This movie has got to be about one of the worst i have ever seen. The humor was crude, hardly funny and been heard a million times before. The start was noting special and it got worse and worse as it went on. I got about halfway through and couldn't stand to watch any more of it. Luckily I was only watching it on TV so it didn't cost anything, but I seriously recommend you do not waste you time or your money.Nothing in the movie was new. The characters were not at all developed. I actually think it would have been better as a little kids movie in that it was full of stupid unrealistic "funny" events occurring ... thats like what happens in home alone or something. Not to imply home alone was in any way as terrible as this.
Silly, But Very Funny
posted on 19 Feb 2009Tom Stansfield (Ashton Kutcher) works in a publisher and has a very tough boss, Jack Taylor (Terence Stamp). He aims to have the chance to work in the Creation Department of the company. Tom is `Mr. Nice Guy', never being upset and helping his colleagues, and has a crush on Lisa Taylor (Tara Reid), the daughter of Jack. When Jack has to travel to Singapore, Lisa is in charge to housesit her father's house. However, she has a party in the evening and invites Tom to go to her place. Tom misunderstands the invitation of Lisa, thinking it was for a date with her, but when he arrives at the house, Jack is waiting for him with lots of recommendations and procedures to be followed. Jack has obsession for a neat house and his pride and joy is an owl. I believe it is no spoiler to say the everything goes wrong with Tom along the night, with the owl escaping and the most weird visitors arriving in and destroying the house. Although being very silly and full of clichés, sort of `Risky Business' and `Meet the Parents' together, this movie is also very funny. Using lots of scatological and black humor, it is almost impossible not laughing in many situations. Forgettable, but I liked it. Further, the DVD is full of extras. My vote is seven.Title (Brazil): `A Filha do Chefe' (`The Boss's Daughter')
Horrible
posted on 07 Feb 2009To be fair, I couldn't bear to watch this movie all the way thru, so I have no idea if it suddenly gets better half way thru the film. But the first 30 minutes or so are amongst the worst I have seen in a while. Children under twelve might get a kick out of the poorly written, acted, and directed slapstick humor, but adults in full control of all their faculties should steer clear of this stinker.
the worst movie I have ever seen
posted on 14 Jan 2009A complete waste of time. Stupid plot. Awful acting. Don't waste your time or money. I can't believe somebody actually made this garbage. What could they possibly have been thinking? Worse than the people that made it is the people that financed it. They must have been looking for a tax write-off to bother making this junk. You can forgive the actors for bothering with this garbage, at least they took home a paycheck. The only good thing about this movie is the catchy song used during the intro and exit scenes. I have never commented on a movie before, but I wanted the opportunity to save other people the pain of enduring this movie. 90 minutes wasted, that I can't get back. Actually, I fastforwarded through most of the movie, so I probably only wasted 60 minutes or so. I thought there had to be something redeeming in the film. I was wrong.
Shades of "Meet the Parents"
posted on 17 Dec 2008I saw My Boss's Daughter with my girlfriend on Saturday after dinner. Neither of us knew beforehand what the movie was about. However the fact that the theater was packed with fratboys and teenage girls was a good indicator of what was to come. There were very obvious similarities to Meet the Parents.1. Dorky guy. 2. Vacuous blonde. 3. Psycho-dad. 4. Doper brother. 5. Cat that uses the toilet/Owl that drinks toilet water. 6. Pet escapes the house.All of the elements of a late-summer teen movie.
not as funny as it should have been
posted on 13 Dec 2008Well I gotta start by saying that considering this movie had 2 of the hottest young stars of today, it really should have been better. Yes, there was some pretty funny stuff in it, but I was really expecting more considering Ashton's history of comedy. ( Dude where's my car was hilarious!!) This movie provided plenty of eye candy, and was reasonably entertaining, but was not nearly as good as I expected.
Funny in it's own Way
posted on 07 Dec 2008Tom(Ashton Kutcher) has always had a thing for his Boss's beautiful daughter Lisa(Tara Reid). During a conversation with each other, Tom agrees to babysit her father's precious pet owl while he actually thinks that he's going on a date with Lisa. Disaster strikes when Tom arrives and sees what he has gotten himself into and when a few surprising guests arrive, the big question is: Can Tom pull of babysitting for a owl that's high on coke, get Lisa and earn her father's trust?
I found myself enjoying the first half of this movie more then the rest because I thought the longer it played, the dumber it got. However, I must admit, there were some pretty funny moments, mostly thanks to the hilarious Molly Shannon. Ashton Kutcher is not really funny and Tara Reid can't act but she is beautiful and nice to look at. I would give My Boss's Daughter 6/10.
Worse than Plan 9 From Outer Space
posted on 05 Nov 2008I have used IMDB for some time but felt obligated to register just to help prevent poor unsuspecting folks from renting or, worse, buying this stinker!! Ashton has absolutely no acting ability and he's the best part of the movie. Avoid at ALL cost!! Even the outtakes on the DVD are embarrassing.
Pathetic
posted on 05 Nov 2008I saw this movie (unfortunately) because it was the only option at that time and because David Zucker was the director. I saw his previous "Naked gun" (both parts), Airplane and Top secret!, and I liked, at least I had a good time and laughed. I'm not saying that the movies I mentioned were master pieces, but were OK. I don't recall any other more stupid movie than this. It's incredible how Hollywood industry is in total decadence. If some studio spends any money to produce this awful picture, then is not a surprise that this kind of histories are more common on these days. This is a clear reflect of a decadent civilization where sex symbols and stupid plots are produced to entertain the common people. I don't have any good to say about this film. If you are planning to rent it or buy it, please don't waste your money or your time, avoid it no matter what. Even if you are fan of one of the actors, does not worth it. In fact this could be a very good example of what a Director should avoid. I won't see a Zucker movie again. (He is planning to direct the fourth sequel of Scary movie, imagine that!). Pathetic. Awful.
Worst movie of 2003?
posted on 20 Oct 2008Ok, I admit that I haven't seen Gigli, but I can't imagine how it could be worse than this attempt. I'd describe the plot but don't think I could dredge it up without becoming nauseated. Suffice it to say that the movie is supposed to be funny but isn't. The acting is horrible. The script is amazingly bad. I can't imagine that any of the people in this movie (except maybe Andy Richter) are so hard up that they have to stoop to this kind of embarrassment. Molly Shannon, shame on you! David Zucker, double shame!!I guess I should have suspected moronic content from people who can't spell Boss' correctly.
The Greatest Genre
posted on 31 Aug 2008I can say a thousand things about this awful(read formidable) comedy but it wouldn't be enough in order for me to express how I feel about it. I admit that is a little uneasy to watch it from the beginning because you would get a both little lost and tired but after you've seen it you can either like it or totally hate it. I personally love some particular scenes from it(I don't have to tell you which, you can watch it and realize for yourself, they are simply of universal appeal). Long story short, I warmly recommend this enjoyable comedy, of course my favorite genre, to the ones who liked the Scary Movies or Shriek for that matter. My vote is 1- awful(read terrible), because except the idea, and the project itself, My Boss's Daughter is kind of a waste of dough, cast and play, but surely not a waste of time to watch it.
Okay... I guess
posted on 05 Aug 2008Summary written by rcs0411@yahoo.com: Tom works as a researcher at a publishing company. He wants to move to the creative department but his demanding and intimidating boss, Jack Taylor makes him lose his nerve after just spending five minutes with him. He is also attracted to his daughter, Lisa, whom her father also controls. When she tells Tom that her father is making her house-sit on the night of a party she wants to attend, he tells her that she should stand up for herself. She says that she will and he asks him to come to their house. He thinks that she likes him but in reality she wants him to fill in for her. He reluctantly agrees. But when Taylor's black sheep son, Red and Taylor's secretary whom he just fired show up at the house things start to unravel. Eventually some other people show up and Lisa who came home, sees how Ted feels about her but doubts his sincerity. And Tom is scrambling to make things right.Starring: Ashton Kutcher, Tara Reid, Michael Madsen, Carmen Electra, Terence Stamp. This is an okay movie but it gets points just for having Carmen Electra in it.
total crap
posted on 10 Jul 2008My one line summary sums up pretty much what I think of this exercise. That's all this film is..one long trip to an unfunny hell. The scenes are goofball antics that have been driven into the ground many years ago. The cast of this film are horrible,the film is badly structured,the dialogue is awful,the characters are beneath one note,the situations created in the story are haphazard and absurd..pretty much the movie is lame even beyond the bad comedies presented lately. Ashton Kutcher has got to find away out of the unfortunate limbo of bad comedies..he has gifts..but with these gifts come great responsibilities..finding an agent who can find better material. Zucker can't breathe life into a vacuum..and believe me this film is a vacuum. It has no oxygen which means that this comedy has no life...none..DOA! BOMB/*****
Three Leaks and a Peak
posted on 11 May 2008Dreamy young Ashton Kutcher (as Tom Stansfield) wants a date with sexy blonde Tara Reid (as Lisa Taylor). Ms. Reid thinks Mr. Kutcher is gay. Kutcher works for Reid's father, an anal retentive Terence Stamp (as Jack Taylor). Kutcher agrees to "housesit" for the boss, believing it will get him closer to Reid. Mr. Stamp has a pet owl named "O.J.", who becomes a toilet cokehead. This is a film to get your restricted to "G-rated" pre-teens ready for raunchier "R-rated" fare. It will help if they haven't seen the plot before, and especially like moronic potty humor. Remember, people get paid to act like this.** My Boss's Daughter (2003) David Zucker ~ Ashton Kutcher, Tara Reid, Terence Stamp
the inability to achieve mediocrity
posted on 07 May 2008Yet another recent comedy that shows that Hollywood can't even do the basics when it comes to film-making that it used to do in its sleep for decades. If the writer/director had any brains they would have based the film around Stamp's character of tyrant boss Jack Taylor. When he's in the film early on it's nothing special but it is mildly promising and occasionally amusing. Once he departs for the majority of the film and Kutcher has his 'hilarious' adventures house-sitting with guest after boring guest dropping in, the film totally disintegrates.As a result, what should have been a passable timewaster turns into an inept stinker.
My Boss's Daughter: 5/10
posted on 11 Apr 2008Even though My Boss's Daughter was almost unanimously panned by critics, I don't think I could keep away from a David Zucker movie, one-third of the team that brought the genius of Airplane! and the very funny Naked Gun. Plus, it was written by the writer of Anger Management, David Dorfman, so it looked somewhat promising. It had trademarks of both: what was great about both Airplane! and The Naked Gun is that there were things happening in the background almost so subliminal you're not sure if you're the only person seeing it, and in Dorfman's Anger Management, there were penis jokes galore, and in Daughter, there are as many as there were in the former.Unfortunately for Zucker, Daughter is neither as funny as his two classics or has as much of a plot (which is really scary, because those two didn't even have one). Tom (Ashton Kutcher, who is about as good of an actor as my left toenail), who is a little shy/passive, has a crush on his boss's daughter (hence the stupid title) Lisa (Tara Reid, see my comment about Kutcher). After a series of misunderstandings (the name of the movie should be Awkward, Broad, and Extremely Slapstick Generic Comedy #172), he ends up housesitting for his boss Jack Taylor (Terence Stamp), and wacky things happen including a drug-dealing brother (Andy Richter in an underwritten role), an odd, recently fired secretary (Molly Shannon, who works well), a killer (Michael Madsen), and an overweight, former lover of Lisa (Kenan Thompson).Although a lot of the humor was old and dated (Jack's owl is named O.J., and everyone screams because Tom says `O.J.'s loose!', a man offers Tom a piece of Evander Holyfield's ear), some of it was funny, in the broadest sense possible. They weren't going for subtlety here. In fact, most of the jokes were completely obvious. When Tom is checking a woman for breast cancer (is it just me, or did she just pop in there?), did anyone not expect Lisa to come in and think something else? Also, some of the comedy is mean-spirited towards gay, handicapped, and injured people, and most of that I didn't find that funny. Iif you've paid to see Daughter, you've basically seen Meet the Parents 2, with all of its madcap humor and situations, all with various mass destruction.One of my greatest fears is that Ashton Kutcher will do what Adam Sandler did: entered the movie business doing slapstick comedies, and then after his name is really well known, do a `serious' movie and get accolades for it. The day Kutcher is heralded for his acting is the day that I eat my shoe. Not only did he seem to be overacting during the obligatory `emotional' parts, but during most of the movie, he made it seem like Keanu Reeves had more than one emotion. Reid does what she needs to do with her one-dimensional character of the boss's daughter (which the movie isn't really about). Why a lot of stars decided to have small, supporting roles, I don't know, but most of them clicked in their part. Now if they had taken over the movie instead of Kutcher being in charge, then maybe Daughter would have worked.Considering that My Boss's Daughter came in at #10 on the box office on opening weekend, I'd have to say that most of the country is right in avoiding this. However, if you're bored during a matinee time, this wouldn't be a horrendous choice.My rating: 5/10Rated PG-13 for crude and sex-related humor, drug content and language.
What a waste of money
posted on 01 Apr 2008Not just the money we paid to rent it or actually go to the movies. I'm talking about how big productions companies waste so much money in things that actually are boring and not to talk about ridiculous. With the millions they used to make a movie like this, because I don't think the actors here would actually work for free or for an insignificant sum. With that money imagine how many good independent movies you could make, or maybe one good Hollywood movie. Its just to rip you off, but not anyone, just the majority of teens that are willing to go and see an Ashton Kutcher movie, just because they are fans of him. I don't really know either how someone with common sense could actually act in this kind of movie. If you actually look at it in prospective the actors are the same quality of this movie. So i guess I shouldn't be surprise, I actually couldn't have expected more.
Changed Title
posted on 27 Jul 2009This movie has had a title change. The official title is "The Guests". It will be in theatres in February. This news comes from very close to the source and is guaranteed authentic. The latest re-shoot of a crucial scene was completed in September (Vancouver BC) and it won the hearts of the studio. I've read the script and this movie is hilarious!
