Horrible Bozo's

Rating: Null/10 (24 July 2011)

The plot was fine as comedies tend to be more forgiving.
The twists and storyline was acceptable, again for a comedy.
But I'm growing tired of the profanity. Today's version of comedy is sexually profane and as gross one can be. I'm not shocked, I'm just saying it is the ONLY punchline anymore and that gets old.
The clean humor was great and at times even heady (think of the famous Hitchcock-DeVito collaboration!). The cast line-up was strong enough that it couldn't be their fault this movie disappointed me.
Kudos as well for working in a social issue (reverse sexism at the office). It wasn't believable for one minute (as were the other guys to a greater degree) but a pat on the back for trying.
But it takes another slap on the face for reinforcing old social issues such as racism (where else do you go to hire a hit-man?). Sad.
I just don't want to hear jokes about how the "MF" word can have other meanings, or what type of sex fetishes are out there, or hearing phone sex...and somehow we are to think that is funny stuff?
I liked the premise, I liked the actors, but I didn't care for the movie. It still got three stars for the following reasons:
* What humor that was not sex-related or vulgar was actually funny * When Kevin Spacey walks into a scene he steals it * It was quick-paced, just believable plot, and did make me laugh at times
Just be prepared to shower after watching.
