So what do you do if you hate your boss because they're making your life a living hell? Not what these guys want to do.
Three friends, Nick Hendricks (Jason Bateman), Dale Arbus (Charlie Day), and Kurt Buckman (Jason Sudeikis), all hate their respective bosses, Dave Harken (Kevin Spacey), Dr. Julia Harris, D.D.S (Jennifer Aniston), and Bobby Pellitt (Colin Farrell). Harken won't let Nick move up in the company or be with his family when his grandmother is dying. Pellitt wants to run his company into the ground so he can take all the profits for himself. And Julia is doing anything and everything she can to make Dale have sex with her before he gets married to his fiance. Now is that so bad? Probably.
Anyway, these guys are miserable at their jobs, but they don't want to quit. Instead they want to kill them for their sanity and the sanity of the others in the respective offices. That's where Dean "Motherf***er" Jones comes in. He's their "murder consultant". Will they devise a plan to murder their bosses without them getting caught? Or will their plan totally blow up in their faces?
From the start, this movie never loses sight of it's comedic purposes. It's hilarious from the start and never gets any less funny. It's a rather original idea that many people today deal with. But they probably won't actually find a way to kill their boss unless they're some psychopath. The premise is pretty funny too, three average guys trying to do something completely idiotic. Yes, even more idiotic than what our friends over at "The Hangover" do.
Bateman, Day, and Sudeikis work well together. However, they don't work very well with their bosses. They all seem quite awkward standing in front of their bosses. Especially Charlie Day. But that's not surprising. The nice thing, they all add their own comedic talents to create an especially funny movie.
Overall, this movie makes me think about how I'm going to have a boss one day, and that he or she might be like one of these bosses. Hopefully not, but there's always that risk. For all of the mothers out there who are thinking about seeing "Horrible Bosses", don't see it with your kids. Kids, try to steer your mothers toward other movies. If you feel like seeing a movie where everyone is pretty immature but is extremely funny at being reckless, "Horrible Bosses" is the movie for you.
I'm promoting "Horrible Bosses" to B status.
