Offensive and funny.

Rating: 7/10 (30 August 2011)

I must admit I was hesitant before seeing Horrible Bosses; such was the blandness of the trailer. I was pleasantly surprised then, to find myself laughing constantly during this offensive movie. The simple premise – three ordinary blokes decide to kill their abusive bosses – is pillaged for every possible drop of humour, with the hits more prevalent than the misses. Whilst the ribald dialogue is well written, and you sense well ad-libbed, the major source of hilarity is the against-type performances of Jennifer Aniston and Colin Farrell. Aniston is in career-best form as an atrociously inappropriate dentist (you won't believe some of the phrases that come out of her mouth) and Farrell turns in an arsehole to end all arseholes. Other than Charlie Day's excruciatingly annoying voice, this is a solid comedy worth seeing with the masses.
