HORRIBLE BOSSES-- Director / Year: Seth Gordon / 2011
The story revolves around three buddies who each have crazy bosses whom they decide they need to do away with. Jason Bateman (a business/salesman), Charlie Day (a dental assistant), and Jason Sudeikis (an accountant) portray the three friends who are tormented by their respective bosses—Kevin Spacey (psycho, sadistic, megalomaniac President/CEO type), Jennifer Aniston (dentist/aggressive-nymphomaniac), and Colin Farrell (coked-up son-of-the-boss psycho who takes over the business and has a penchant for Asian prostitutes). All of these actors offer very colorful performances. Spacey was the perfect A-hole and Jennifer Aniston somehow managed to make the perversity of her character appropriately comic! And Colin Farrell—he was the perfect psycho—and in his get-up looked like he could portray Charles Manson. I thought he was hilarious!
Jamie Foxx wins a few laughs in a supporting role as a self-proclaimed ex-convict who cons the three men into paying him $5,000 to be their “murder consultant,” by suggesting they each murder one another’s bosses.
Without giving away all the details—in case you plan to see the film—this is actually a pretty funny movie, considering I had absolutely no expectations. I only went because the showing time was convenient and also the title attracted me as my bosses were getting on my nerves big time last week…lol!
There were times when the film had a feel of a TV or HBO movie, only with more obscenities. However, I found it surprisingly entertaining. The movie has many politically incorrect elements, yet it has the nerve to actually be good! One of those "no apologies" movies.

| Hmmm I need to see this, might get a few hints. Because Management is sitting there watching her F up badly every day and she keeps blaming her "Team."
