Hilarious comedy!

Rating: 7/10 (11 July 2011)

In this hilarious comedy starring many big actors, the talented veteran, Kevin Spacey, steals the show all the way through. His character is wacky and mean but yet likable because of his brilliant performance playing the most horrible boss in the movie. In real life, you wouldn't like your boss to be like him but in reel life, the more horrible, the better. The three frustrated men with 'horrible bosses' team up together to rid themselves of their miseries. Jason Sudeikis' character, Kurt, is probably the most convinced of the three that he needs to change his work situation as he has to start dealing with his boss' son who is a coke addict and is out to run down the company and suck every penny that it's worth for his own gain. Jason Batman who has the worst boss played by Kevin Spacey needs a bit more convincing to join the gang. Charlie Day in his character as Dale, starts off being an innocent, fearful man but circumstances lead him to become an angry, foul mouthed man who ends up getting "high" on coke and gains this insurmountable energy to take revenge on his boss. Although he has created many comical moments in the film, he somewhat over-does the 'fast-talking, coked up' character that he transforms himself into toward the end. The vengeance combined with suspense and humor makes this movie worth a watch. Dale's boss, Julia, played by Jennifer Aniston is a dentist who is out to "eat" every man she comes in contact with. The make-up artist has done a good job complimenting her sexually aggressive nature with those attractive looks. She isn't trying to make you laugh through her jokes but rather through her aggressive, overtly sexual character. Two noteworthy and hilarious performances are given by Jamie Fox and Collin Farrell. Jamie plays the character of 'MF#%$&&" with huge tattoos around his body pretending to be a high rolling gangster to make a few extra bucks when he is merely a movie pirate in reality. Collin has brilliantly disguised himself in the character of Bobby Pellit, the new boss of Kurt after his father's death. You don't realize it's him until you see the credits at the end. Overall, this comedy is sure to entertain you and give you a bang for your buck!
