Good fun

Rating: 7/10 (4 October 2011)

As a whole it is hard to pinpoint why Horrible Bosses is funny, but one you get into the individual set pieces, it is a lot of fun. Similar to such classics as Forgetting Sarah Marshall (though not as raunchy), it has its moments - and lots of them.
A special mention has to go to the three bosses, played by Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Spacey and Colin Farrell. They obviously loved playing these terrible characters. the three leads are also loving it, moving from plan to panic with startling brilliance. And Jamie Foxx needs a nod for his colourful thug.
Every year produces a handful of really smart, fun and down-to-Earth comedies that revel in their overstatedness. This is one for 2011.
