Horrible Bosses: Hysterical
17 October 2011
Horrible Bosses, takes a dark premise — three men working together to murder their bosses — and molds it into a thoroughly entertaining and consistently funny movie.

The talented cast, led by Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis as the three miserable employees does is superb, while the supporting cast of Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Aniston and Colin Farrell do excellent jobs as the titular bosses. A tattoo-covered Jamie Foxx adds another dimension to the movie's humor as the "murder consultant" with the charming name, "Motherfucker Jones."

Spacey plays a seething, condescending monster of a human being. Farrell does a brilliant job as a karate-obsessed coke-head with a frighteningly bad comb-over. And an unsatisfiable and horny Aniston has fun with her character, letting loose a string of vulgarities that would make Rachel Green squirm

The premise is ludicrous, as it is meant to be with this genre of slapstick, raunchy comedy, but director Seth Gordon balances the absurdity with enough passable logic and laugh-out-loud humor to make the movie extremely entertaining. Horrible Bosses is one of the summer's best comedy and is highly recommended!
