Horrible Bosses - Movie Review

Rating: 8/10 (30 June 2020)

Horrible Bosses is firing on all cylinders when the main cast is together, which comprises of Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, and Charlie Day.
I'm not really a massive fan of Day, which is one of the reasons why I have never watched It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. It's nothing against him personally, but he usually plays a bumbling idiot and it never works for me in anything I've seen him in. That was the case in Horrible Bosses, but he still had some moments that made me chuckle.
The film does contain some extremely funny moments, and the script is mostly well-written. However, my main issue with the film is the fact that it goes too absurd at a point, and strains way too much credibility. I also didn't buy the fact that these three men would actually have considered murdering their bosses.
Part of the film surrounds them being conflicted with their decision, but I never bought that they would have ever even considered it as a possibility, which hurt the film for me and took me out of it.
Despite that, I still had a great time watching Horrible Bosses and I am looking forward to re-watching the sequel.
