(Rating: 15, 98 mins) Written by Zen Terrelonge of zentertainmentweekly.com
Starring – Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Charlie Day, Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell, Jamie Foxx.
If the film were based purely around how hot Jennifer Aniston is as a nymphomaniac dentist, it would be a very incontrovertible 10/10.
That's not the case though unfortunately, there is actually a plot.
The latest comedy from over the pond is about three friends, Nick (Bateman), Kurt (Sudeikis) and Dale (Day) who happen to have the most undesirable bosses; a psychopath, a cocaine addict and a nympho.
I don't see the issue with the latter either.
After a drunken night out and a particularly trying days graft, our hapless trio discuss what it would be like to murder their bosses.
As you do of course.
This leads our trainee assassins to seek out someone to get their hands dirty on their behalf.
Now I'm no hit-man, but searching the 'Men Seeking Men' section of a newspaper for a cold- blooded killer seems a bit unusual to me – turns out is is.
After a failed rendezvous with a potential erm.. accomplice, enter MotherF**ker Jones (Foxx), who enlists as the Murder Consultant and sets up a 'genius' scheme of how to take down the purveyors of injustice played by Spacey, Farrell and Aniston.
Spacey shines as a stark, raving, mad, lunatic CEO who gets sheer joy out of being nothing short of cruel to Nick on a daily basis, think Mr. Burns and Scrooge combined and you'll be heading in the right direction.
Aniston also gleams -
A. For being so unbelievably attractive.
and
B. More appropriately for stepping outside of her usual character role and really letting loose with some seriously explicit vocabulary – the kind of things you'd never expect to hear from the former Rachel Green.
The trailers and early footage made the film look incredibly promising but as seems to be the case with recently hyped films, it hasn't surpassed expectations and though the laughs are there, the constant dithering about from the harassed workers turn the laughs to half hearted chortles.
It's actually a film about inspiration if you think about it, so if you snipe your employer on Monday and get the promotion you've been seeking it can't be totally horrible.
