Predictable but funny

Rating: 5/10 (20 December 2011)

I am the first to admit that horrible bosses had some funny moments. I found myself laughing almost inadvertently. That being said, I did not really enjoy this film. This falls into the gross out comedy specter for me and I didn't really get into the story. The premise is three guys hate their bosses and decide to kill them and the hijinks begin. The problem with this film is you didn't feel the depth of how bad these bosses are. You barely explore the relationships between the characters before the dumb jokes begin. Everything in this story is typical. Kevin Spacey was a great deal more entertaining in Swimming with Sharks. Every overplayed joke in the book is used in this film. The characters dropping the cocaine and inadvertently getting high from the cocaine dust. The Indian customer service rep with an American name. All of this has been seen and done before. If you are the kind of movie viewer that wants to sit on the sofa, pop open a beer and have a couple of laughs you will probably enjoy this. As an avid film viewer I was bored and even the huge cast list didn't make up for a silly premise and a been there done that script.
