My Boss's Daughter 2003

John Monaghan, Detroit Free Press: If you thought Ashton Kutcher's movie career had nowhere but up to go after Dude, Where's My Car?, wait until you see My Boss's Daughter. Read more

Kevin Crust, Los Angeles Times: It is a genial youth comedy that serves Kutcher well as a vehicle. That's it. That's all it tries to be. Read more

Ben Nuckols, Associated Press: The spectacularly unfunny supporting cast -- including Dave Foley, Jeffrey Tambor and David Koechner -- doesn't help either. But luckily Kutcher is there to try to clean up the mess. Read more

Scott Foundas, L.A. Weekly: In director David Zucker and writer David Dorfman's desperation for ideas, nearly all the 'jokes' come at the expense of Jews, the disabled and victims of spousal abuse. Read more

Bob Campbell, Newark Star-Ledger: Even after sitting through it you can't swear you've seen it. It vanishes while you watch, like disappearing ink. Read more

James Berardinelli, ReelViews: Sitting through My Boss' Daughter is the enactment of a critic's worst nightmare. Read more

Carla Meyer, San Francisco Chronicle: Tries screwball and gross-out comedy and fails on both counts. Read more

Susan Walker, Toronto Star: A pink slip is in order for all concerned. Read more

Robert Koehler, Variety: Comedy's cardinal rule is never make it look hard, but that wisdom is ignored in My Boss's Daughter. Read more
