Horrible Bosses Movie Reviews, Trailers

Horrible Bosses is a comedy that is bound to be overlooked merely because of it's title and subject manner, which is a shame because this film is hilarious.

It's full to the brim slapstick comedy, western culture cross-reference humor and solid one-liners such as when Nick (Jas... read moreon Bateman) is questioned by the police for speeding away from a crime scene he states "I'm a drag racer". This blend of elements makes Horrible Bosses comparable to Super Bad and The Hangover, both of which are extremely successful mainly due to their basic yet unorthodox approach to comedy.

What's most impressive about Horrible Bosses aside from it's humor, is it's ability to make the characters endearing or at the least likable throughout without really ever leaving their surface level. The plot itself is simplistic and typically box office, though despite this it leaves a great structure to build the rest of the film upon (as you probably know plot is only a small element of a comedy).

This movie does suffer from minor consistency issues throughout, the comedy can run dry at times, but only for short 5 minute spouts. The main dissapointment this movie exudes lies within this movie it's stale and sometimes skin-crawl crude comedy portrayed by Aniston as Dr. Harris, it's horrible to watch at every angle (from a comedic point of view).

Horrible Bosses is the years finest comedy (so far).

The film works thanks to the spot-on casting of the titular: Farrell sadly gets pushed to the side, but Spacey can do "psycho boss" in his sleep, and it's great to see Aniston NOT in a shitty romantic comedy. The plot twists a lot more than you'd expect and it's consistently funn... read morey, rather than just having saved the best bits for the trailer. Great film.

In the vein of "The Hangover" (2009), "Horrible Bosses" has three friends taking a wild trip to-well, jail, most likely. Nick (Jason Bateman) hates his manipulative boss Dave (Kevin Spacey) and Dale (Charlie Day) loathes Julia (Jennifer Aniston who gets to play "against type" and... read more pulled off a magnificent portrayal of an over-sexed woman boss), his superior who delights in sexually harassing him despite the fact that he is engaged. Never before has she played such a role and it was absolutely hilarious! And finally we have Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) who actually likes his job until his boss (Donald Sutherland) passes away and the company is taken over by his coke-head son (a virtually unrecognizable Colin Farrell).

They mean well, but when you spend your free time drinking at a bar complaining about your bosses, reckless plans are bound to be hatched and the trio decide to remove their terrible bosses permanently. Hiring shady "murder consultant" Dean "MotherF^cker" Jones (Jamie Foxx), the trio plans to kill each other's employers to avoid any traces back to their respective subordinates but the unprepared friends quickly find their scheme falling apart.
I particularly enjoyed the above camera shot in the parking lot where these fools couldn't even figure out which car had the right of way and the one where Kurt is spying on Julia through her window and she is enjoying all these "suggestive" foods.

Obviously Jason Batemen is hilarious, with his dry and almost seemingly unintentional sense of comedic timing. The guys worked really well playing off each other but for me one particular boss stole the show, and that was Kevin Spacey, he was just not just the boss you love to hate, but the one you hate period.

Some fav quotes of mine from the movie!

"If Nick and I were in prison who do you think will get raped more?"

"You can't win a marathon without putting some band aids on your nipples."

How you like them apples?
