Employees of the month

Rating: 6/10 (8 November 2013)

Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis are three friends who end up with horrible bosses.
To be fair Sudeikis had a nice boss with Donald Sutherland until he dies and his son (Colin Farrell) takes over, who is a coked up douchebag.
Bateman works all hours for promotion but is actually getting used by Kevin Spacey an egoist. While Day is a dental assistant whose boss Jennifer Aniston is a sex maniac.
One drunken night they have an idea to bump off their bosses in the style of Hitchcock's Strangers on a train.
It is here the film mixes dark humour and slapstick. They go looking for a hit-man and bump into MF Jones (Jamie Foxx) who gives them tips.
Our intrepid trio tend to add two part incompetence with every bad idea they have.
Spacey seems to be having a good time playing the smarmy, nasty boss, Aniston looks delectable as the man-eater and Farrell is unrecognisable as the doped up jerk.
The trio can get irate, but it's a story well told. Some good laughs are provided and the director keeps a good balance to make sure things do not get too dark and mean.
