So with Horrible Bosses 2 being released this week, I thought it would be fitting to review its predecessor Horrible Bosses. So without further ado...
For Nick (played by Jason Bateman), Kurt (played by Jason Sudeikis) and Dale (played by Charlie Day), the only thing that would make the daily grind more tolerable would be to grind their intolerable bosses (played by Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell, Jennifer Aniston respectively) into dust. Quitting is not an option, so, with the benefit of a few-too-many drinks and some dubious advice from a hustling ex-con (played by Jamie Foxx), the three friends devise a convoluted and seemingly foolproof plan to rid themselves of their respective employers... permanently. There's only one problem: even the best laid plans are only as foolproof as the brains behind them.
This was a really surprising film. From the trailers you know the film is automatically funny simply because of the main three leads and the trailers did not disappoint. The main three (Bateman, Sudeikis and Day) have amazing chemistry and really feed off of each other and have great comedic timing. I also really like the supporting cast (mainly the bosses) and the real standout is Kevin Spacey who pretty much plays Kevin Spacey. Now I will say while the premise is interesting, it's not really executed well and a lot of the jokes fall flat and make the movie have a lot of awkward moments. Overall it's fun film with a great cast, but the jokes and the story don'ht help the movie at all. I give Horrible Bosses an 8 out of 10.
So ladies and gentlemen what did you think of Horrible Bosses, what would you rate it, are you excited for Horrible Bosses 2 and what did you think of my review? Let me know in the comments section below and let your voice be heard.
