Not a laugh riot, but this is worth paying money for

Rating: Null/10 (19 July 2011)

I wasn't interested in the movie when I first heard about it. Then immediately after reading more about the plot, the movie appealed to me. It's an entertaining movie that lives up to its potential. Kevin Spacey, of course, is a scene-stealer. If you find yourself experiencing deja vu watching his performance, then you might remember him in "Swimming with Sharks". Except he was the star. Colin Farrel is okay as the son of a dead boss. As for Jennifer Aniston's character, her performance is great, too. But I didn't think of this character as a boss. Just as an assistant. "Horrible Bosses" is very entertaining from start to finish, and not consistent in its second act. One of the bosses is killed by another, Another doesn't get killed like promised, and the third boss's story never gets resolved at all. But that doesn't make the movie any less likable.
*** out of ****
