Contemporary subject, wishful thinking and a great cast = fun.

Rating: 7/10 (11 October 2011)

Yes, the trailers show many good parts but then there are enough to go around. Read the full IMDb Storyline and you'll have a pretty good idea of what the plan to make you laugh is. The cast does not take itself too seriously; they play as if they were on a stage, not in front of cameras and it is clear they are having a great time. For a while, I was waiting for the cast to provide us with a little of that fun they seem to enjoy. During that time I was having doubts it could shift in gear to make us laugh. It took a short while but we got there; once there, you can relax and enjoy the not so predictable twists that make it so funny. I say this because I felt the early parts were somewhat predictable. The outcome was a flow of small but sure little surprises you could not predict, each funnier than the previous. You are happy to let the story roll on its own without playing the game of guessing.
The three victims of horrible bosses, friends from school are not great deserving employees, but yes, their bosses are the scum of the earth. Colin Farrell was the poster boss for what horrible bosses can be; he was, all things consider the only one who deserved to be taken out. Kevin Spacey was the kind of boss who is his worst enemy, by his behaviour. Jennifer Aniston was my favourite bad boss, as I'm sure most guys will agree. That vixen filthy minded and dirty talking boss was the one we all wanted to see more of. She relentlessly sexually harassed poor Charlie Day. His two buddies would have gladly have traded place with him, so his boss' demise was low in the priority to dispose of her. Spacey and Farrell through stupid luck in favour of Nick and Kurt, played by Jason Bateman and Jason Sudeikis, are respectively murdered; in the case of Farrell, by Spacey and in Spacey's case he gets charged for that crime. How Dale (Charlie Day) manages to put an end to the slut boss Jennifer Aniston is cute and precious. It was a fun movie. I learned that a dirty talking Aniston is a role I would not mind seeing in a few others of her future movies.
