Horrible Bosses

Horrible Bosses

Rating 6 out of 10

Having date night with the wife and the Daniels.  The wives were being hard to deal with in not wanting to see Transformers.  This movie is funny in parts but not hold your side from laughing so hard.  It suffers from the same problem many movies do in that most of the funny parts of the whole movie fit into a couple 30 second trailers.

The movie is easy to describe. Three good best friends all have horrible bosses in different ways.  With the bad economy they don't feel like they can quit.  So after several drinks it makes more sense to kill the bad bosses. Simple as that.

The film has a great cast.  Jason Bateman does a good job as the friend most trying to talk sense into the trio. Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day are the other two buds.  Both have some very funny parts and seem like I should know who they are.

The real star power comes from the three nasty bosses.  Kevin Spacey and Colin Farrel are good as the rude and mean bosses.  Jennifer Aniston is crazy as the sexual harassing dentist.  The movie also has small parts for big stars like Donald Sutherland, Jamie Foxx and Julie Bowen (from my favorite tv show Modern Family).

The movie is definitely hot and cold. Not many directions you can take this story.  It's good for an early show or a rainy weekend.  The movie has a moderate amount of F-bombs and much of the humor is very crude.
