Horrible Bosses


Need a laugh?  Need something ridiculous and borderline insane, so that you can feel your lips slowly curving upwards?   How about a group of men who want to hire a hit man to kill their bosses?  Borderline insane you say?

This film may appear silly from the outside, and trust me it is, but if you need a meaningless, superficial laugh to help you get through the week, this will do the job.

The acting was well executed.  Seriously, Jennifer Aniston was hilarious.  Kevin Spacey delivered as always.  And Colin Farrell really hit his mark in the comedy genre.  As for the three stooges, Jason Sudeikis , Jason Bateman and Charlie Day, they had good chemistry on screen.  All characters belonged together; no one felt or seemed left out. 

Moving on, the plot was seriously lacking, as in they took an ordinary problem in a lot of people’s lives and just completely went too far with it, making it unbelievable.  But that’s assuming you’re going in to this film with expectations.  BIG MISTAKE!  Go in without any expectations and just enjoy it for what it is. I promise this film can be just what you need to chill out. 

*Can I just comment on the titles of these films lately.  Getting lazy much?  Bad teacher, Horrible Bosses?   I can tell a lot of thought went into those... How about “The Dangerous Doctor” or “The Tired Accountant”?  Please, feel free to borrow those anytime, I’ve got plenty more.

So I give this film 7.5/10 for rubbing every possible toiletry up Jason Sudeikis’ butt.  Which, ironically, bites him in the ass later on.
