Horrible Bosses Review

Rating: 8/10 (17 October 2013)

The movie Horrible Bosses is a hilarious comedy, which came out in 2011. The movie is full of stars, including Jason Bateman, Kevin Spacey, Charlie Day, Jennifer Aniston, and Jason Sudeikis. The film was set in Glendale, California, and in current times.
The movie starts with Nick Hendricks (Jason Bateman) getting to work a minute late, and getting called out by his boss (Kevin Spacey) for it. Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) loved his job until his boss died, and the business was taken over by his boss's coked-out son. Dale (Charlie Day) hates his job for the oddest of reasons; his extremely attractive boss continually makes unwanted sexual gestures towards him. The three men get together and all complain about their situations, but none of the men can quit because of the current economic times, and for Dale a spot on the sex offender list. The three, under the influence of a few drinks decide to kill each other's bosses to solve the problem, and in no time have a murder consultant hired. These three inexperienced killers attempt to go through with their three hits, and this entertaining comedy goes through many twists and turns to reach an ending that no one expected.
The acting in this movie was simply amazing. Each star, and supporting member played his or her roles flawlessly. Jason Bateman is a prime example of this. He was able to stay serious, but still come off to the audience as hilarious. This is exemplified later in the movie during his explanation of the red light he ran to the police.
Another great aspect of this movie was the setting. Glendale is a beautiful city, and encompassed all the aspects the film needed. The downtown was perfect for Nick's job, while the luxurious suburbs were great for both his boss, and Dale's boss. The city also possessed a lower class neighborhood, perfect for the murder consultant. The camera work in this movie was also great. There was angle shots to show the bosses power over Nick, Dale, and Kurt, as well as many close ups to show emotion.
If you want a movie that keeps you laughing the entire hour and 40 minutes then Horrible Bosses is for you. The movie is unpredictable, the acting is great, and the setting is perfect. I would recommend this movie to any comedy fan.
