100% More Laughs

Rating: 8/10 (9 July 2011)

I had no intention of going to the movies last night, being in a very dark emotional state and wanting to sulk. But my wife dragged me to the theater and we wound up seeing "Horrible Bosses." It's expertly cast with Jasons Bateman and Sudeikis, Charlie Day, Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Aniston, and a barely recognizable Colin Farrell.
I have not laughed so hard at a movie in years. Some great comedies have paid more attention to theme, story arc, character development - all that stuff - but if you want sheer brutal comedic force, line for line, you've got to see this. At one point I was laughing so hard I couldn't catch my breath, a la Tom Hanks in the bathtub scene in "The Money Pit".
It's rare I would pay to see the same movie again, but I want to see this one again soon to catch the lines I missed - there were many - because the laughter in the packed theater drowned them out.
