Review of Horrible Bosses (2011) by Akshay H — 22 May 2015
Good enough fun.
3 friends Kurt (Jason Sudeikis), Nick (Jason Bateman) and Dale (Charlie Day) are seriously fed-up of their annoying bosses. They are so fed-up, that they plan to kill them off. Since having no idea to how to carry out the plan they seek for a hit-man and bump into Jones (Jamie Foxx) whose first name I can't mention here. He tells a ridiculous story about how he got that name. As they then try to execute their plans, we get their goofy stuff which forms most of the gag.The story feels a bit forced though. The first half comparatively was much better and hilarious. The humor in the relations between the 3 of them and their bosses is well executed. The cast is quite good, Kevin Spacey shines in the role of one the bosses and as does Jennifer Aniston. Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell also worth a mention are the most funniest of them all. The lead- trio share a nice chemistry and even if unoriginal they fill in the shoes just fine. There are many hilarious scenes, my favorite one is when when Dale is left outside in car while other 2 are in Nick's boss's house. The humor is mix of dark and goofy which makes it enjoyable in much wider band and good acting backs it up nicely. Entertainingly funny and worth a shot.
RATING: [3/5].
