Horrible Bosses [MA]

Nick, Dale, and Kurt have fine jobs with only one tiny unendurable drawback… their bosses. With Nick’s boss being is a psycho, Dale’s being a man-eater, and Kurt’s being just an overall tool, the three get to drunkenly discussing, one night, how great life would be without them and, with the advice of an ex-con, they devise a plan to rid themselves of their horrible bosses permanently. But soon, the boys discover that even the best-laid plans are only as foolproof as the brains behind them… 

Finally, after a two-day delay, our delivery consisting of Horrible Bosses came in! I missed this film at the cinemas and have been hankering to watch it for a while and, tonight, my longing to watch this film was finally assuaged; and it was just as fulfilling and enjoyable as I had hoped and imagined. Horrible Bosses is crude, blundering, funny, and delightfully chaotic; equally as funny as Bridesmaids or The Hangover.

I think there were two factors that made this film enjoyable: one was the script and the other was the cast. Like Bridesmaids, the script for this film contained much of the rudeness and crudity that can be gotten away with in an MA film. The verbal side of this film brings violence, blunt and confronting sexual references and humour... not to mention a few awesome tragic moments of film nerdishness, with a classic reference to Strangers on a Train. 

The odd mixture of the cast can really be what makes, shakes, or breaks a film and, like Pirates of the Caribbean, the cast of Horrible Bosses consisted of people you would never have thought would appear in the same movie, yet here they all are, delivering wonderfully funny and memorable performances, particularly that of Kevin Spacey, he just has such a piercing presence and can really pull off the part of a psycho… just watch Seven if you want proof. 

Starring Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis, Colin Farrell, Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Spacey, Ioan Gruffudd, and Jamie Foxx, Horrible Bosses is a really funny little film that’s packed with action, crime, memorable characters, incriminating circumstances, and a great comb-over. It was a very entertaining movie and I would certainly say that it’s worth having a look at.
