Horrible bosses ho hum

Rating: 1/10 (13 January 2012)

Why don't I learn from my mistakes? I did the exact same thing with The Hangover. Went with the buzz that the film would be hilarious and was disappointed. Disappointed and bewildered at the people who think this kind of thing is funny. I'm no prude - I loved and laughed raucously at Bridesmaids, Knocked Up and 40 year old Virgin for instance. I cross the line regularly with my own sense of humour and love doses of crude, rude and black with my comedy....if it's FUNNY! If it's lame (which this film is) it's just, well, lame. And offensive.
I got this out on video and just sat there with a 'ho hum' expression all the way through. I did not laugh once (begs the question, why did I sit through the thing? I can't tell you!) It was so predictable. For instance, I knew the Kurt character was going to end up having a tryst with Jennifer's character as soon as it was apparent he was a 'ladies man' (for want of a better word) with that stupid vagina line in the bar. As for James Fox's M**F*** character. Haha! They call him M**F** all the time but that's his real his name! Get it! Yaaawwwn. Ho hum.
And who is Charlie Day. Oh my God, his voice is annoying.
I can also put up with the silly unrealistic scenarios - again, only if they are FUNNY. If the film is lame - they just become stupid unrealistic scenarios which I can't help but pick apart. I.e. - all three bosses would have never got away with their behaviour. I know that's obvious but the inane humour just drew attention to the unbelievability factor for me.
Definitely a 1/10 from me.
