Review of Horrible Bosses (2011) by Russell G — 27 Feb 2014
Three average friends from various types of work plot to kill them horrible bosses. The subject sounds dark, but the three murderers so harmless and incompetent at spying on their prey and going about the murder business it is just hilarious.
Sudeikis, Bateman and Day are a great comedic trio. They complement each other very well and the work together to carry the comedy load beautifully as a team. Their murderous misadventures involve breaking an entry, staking out their targets, hiring a hit-man/murder consultant, and countless other amateur blunders make for tons of hard laughs.
The three boss characters add a whole lot as well. Spacy, Aniston, and Ferrell are all wonderfully exaggerated and ridiculous characters themselves. This has a strong mix of funny dialogue, slapstick physical humor, situational irony, and crude humor.
It makes for a steady stream of laughs, but there is also nice diversity in the humor as well. The concept is ingeniously fresh, and the situations that these three get into make for great comedic value.
