Consistently amusing throughout.

Have you ever wondered what adorable 'Friend' and rom-com favourite Jennifer Aniston would be like as a domineering, slutty, sexual predator? Yeah, me too.
In Horrible Bosses, we get the opportunity to find out, for the lovely actress gets down and dirty as a reprehensible dentist who makes life very uncomfortable for her male assistant Dale (Charlie Day), pestering him for sex at every available opportunity. While that might not sound all that horrible to you and I, Dale isn't happy with his boss's behaviour; his best buds Nick (Jason Bateman) and Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) also have very good reasons to hate their own bosses (played by Colin Farrell and Kevin Spacey), and so, while out for a drink, the three pals decide that it might be a good idea if they got rid of their problematic superiors once and for all.
The plot for this unsophisticated comedy might just be a comedic spin on Hitchcock's classic thriller Strangers On A Train (which gets referenced here), but it it's still a winner thanks to fun performances from a solid cast, and a script that, while not laugh out loud all the way through, provides more than enough decent chuckles for a good time. Bateman, Sudeikis and Day make for a likable trio of dopes, but it is Aniston, Farrell and Spacey who are most memorable, Aniston for being so incredibly sexy, Farrell for being so utterly sleazy, and Spacey for being such a total tosser.
