My Boss's Daughter - 3

This is an attempt at a screwball comedy. It only works partly; the audience doesn't have to be very creative to figure out that everything is going to go wrong, even if it makes no logical sense. The story follows Tom who thinks he's going on a date, but finds out that he is house-sitting for his anal-retentive boss. Random people start to show up and Tom is accused of killing, dealing drugs, and just generally being evil. But all turns out ok as he is eventually found ignorant ...I mean innocent of all charges. And he ends up with the daughter and the bad karma is passed onto the next shlubb. Some funny stunts and jokes, but mostly forgettable, which keeps it from being the next Dumb & Dumber. Save your time and watch something else (that doesn't have Ashton Kutcher in it).
