Horrible Bosses User Reviews Spoilers Hide Spoilers. TheLittleSongbird 9 September The cast and premise were what drew me into Horrible Bosses in the first place and while they are the main excellent things about the film Horrible Bosses succeeds in many other ways too. The film is photographed and edited beautifully and with precision, and Horrible Bosses also boasts a driven soundtrack and efficient direction, as well as a sharp and witty script, a compelling story that lives up to its great premise and well observed characters.
Overall, a very well done film that serves its cast and premise well. Was this review helpful? Sign in to vote. After getting some advice from a hood Jamie Foxx the three soon realize that killing their bosses isn't going to be as easy as they had planned.
In today's day and age of gross out comedies it was rather refreshing seeing a raunchy movie that didn't need over-the-top moments to make you laugh.
I've heard quite a few people put the movie down because it was nothing more than one vignette after another instead of a really complete story and I think they have a minor point but it really doesn't matter because everything here is so incredibly funny that it really doesn't matter how you get the laughs.
Yes, most of the scenes are just strung together to get to the next set-up but the execution by the cast is just so dead perfect that you'll be having tears coming down your face just from laughing. I think the highlight story in the film is between Sudeikis and Farrell.
The entire thing is that Farrell takes over his father's business and the coke head son obviously just wants to milk the company money for his women and drugs.
We get some truly hilarious moments here and some very politically incorrect ones including a wonderful sequence where Farrell demands that Sudeikis fire all the fat and cripple people working in the office.
The "look" Farrell brings to the part is perfect and he shows once again what a terrific actor he is by pulling this part off. Spacey is also extremely good in his bit and the twist that happens towards his character towards the end is without question one of the highlights of the film.
The third evil boss played by Aniston has her sexually harassing Day. All of Aniston's scenes work simply because you haven't seen her play such a dirty role and it's obvious that she's much better playing bad than those horrid romantic-comedies she does.
The entire cast is perfect in their parts and really help to bring the film to life. This is one of those cases where had one member been wrong in the part then it would have ruined the entire film. The comedy is certainly very dark but it's also very daring and this here is what makes it so memorable.
It's certainly one of the funniest movies to come along in a very long time and I'm sure it will have a lasting place in the history of R-rated comedies. SnoopyStyle 1 January Three friends have horrible bosses, and try to get rid of them. Nick Jason Bateman is in sales hoping for a promotion, but his boss Dave Kevin Spacey steals his job for himself. Kurt Jason Sudeikis has a nice boss, but he dies and leaves the company to his douche son Bobby Colin Farrell.
It's a bit too serious at times. The stupidity gets a little funny. There are some hilarious moments.
Charlie Day's manic idiocy can be very annoying and very funny. Sometimes it's both at the same time. In the end, the guys are just likable enough.
The humor is just silly enough. It's a good comedy that breaks out every once in a while. Warning: Spoilers. Well, actually it is really more about the poor souls working under them and the bosses are really only the supporting players even if almost all the actions of their employees revolve around them. And the bosses are also played by the more famous actors, namely Colin Farrell, Kevin Spacey and Jennifer Aniston as you have never seen her before.
The employees are played by Jason Bateman "Arrested Development" , who is nice to watch as always, Jason Sudeikis, who I do not really care about, and Charlie Day "Always Sunny" , who is at least as funny here as on his regular show.
All in all, it was a very well-crafted film. The introduction to the 3 scenarios was as good as the elaboration on them until we finally find out that the three employees are friends.
The murder plot was pretty absurd of course, but nonetheless an interesting idea to keep the film rolling. It never dragged for me. I heard it is not as good as the original, but I will probably check that one out as well at some point. As for this first film here, it was definitely a positive surprise and I would count it under the best comedy films from Some very funny moments and good acting from pretty much everybody involved.
Occasionally it reminded me a bit of "The Hangover" in terms of the comedic contents and general style of the film. So if you enjoyed that Golden Globe winner, give "Horrible Bosses" a chance. You will not be disappointed. Prismark10 8 November To be fair Sudeikis had a nice boss with Donald Sutherland until he dies and his son Colin Farrell takes over, who is a coked up douchebag. Bateman works all hours for promotion but is actually getting used by Kevin Spacey an egoist. While Day is a dental assistant whose boss Jennifer Aniston is a sex maniac.
One drunken night they have an idea to bump off their bosses in the style of Hitchcock's Strangers on a train. It is here the film mixes dark humour and slapstick.
Our intrepid trio tend to add two part incompetence with every bad idea they have. Spacey seems to be having a good time playing the smarmy, nasty boss, Aniston looks delectable as the man-eater and Farrell is unrecognisable as the doped up jerk. The trio can get irate, but it's a story well told. Some good laughs are provided and the director keeps a good balance to make sure things do not get too dark and mean.
Nick is an ambitious employer that has been working for eight years in the same company and expects to be promoted to Sales Vice President by his boss Dave Harken Kevin Spacey.
Julia Harris, D. Jennifer Aniston. The womanizer Kurt and his boss Jack Pellit Donald Sutherland are great friends and he will be assigned to be the manager of the family business where he works; however, Jack has a heart attack and dies and his cocaine addicted son Bobby Pellitt Colin Farrell assumes the company and he and Kurt hate each other. One day, the three friends are drinking beer and talking to each other their problems with their bosses and they conclude that they can not quit their jobs due to the economical crisis.
However, they decide to plot a scheme to get rid off their bosses. Nick, Dale and Kurt seek out a hit-man to kill their bosses in a dangerous neighborhood and they get in trouble with the police. Kurt and Dale are complete imbeciles and not funny. The beautiful and sexy Jennifer Aniston is miscast since I can not imagine any man with the exception of Brad Pitt that could resist to her harassment.
Julia Hams should be an actress not hot like Jennifer Aniston. My vote is six. They're dead. The first happens early in the flick when we meet Kurt Sudeikis and his decidedly un- horrible boss , Jack Pellit, played by Donald Sutherland.
Turns out, not only is Mr. What is Movie horrible bosses about? Nick Jason Bateman , Dale Charlie Day and Kurt Jason Sudeikis are workers who would like nothing better than to grind their oppressive employers into the dirt.
Quitting their jobs is not an option, so -- fueled by alcohol and dubious advice from a criminal Jamie Foxx -- the men devise a complex and seemingly foolproof plan to permanently rid themselves of their terrible bosses. The problem is, any plan is only as clever as the brains behind it. How do you deal with a horrible boss? Search for the perfect position. Identify Your Boss' Motivation.
An unsympathetic psychopath, he'd get along gamely with Patrick Bateman. Colin Farrell is all but unrecognizable as a balding cokehead who takes over his father's chemical firm after his untimely death.
When he's not having sex in the office or shoving piles of white powder up his nose, he's firing disabled employees. He makes Charlie Sheen look tame. But it's hard to beat the absurdity of Jennifer Aniston. A nymphomaniac dentist, she stops at nothing to get in the pants of her creeped-out hygienist. She plays crazy well; her body makes the job easier. At one point, she taunts him in nothing but a medical coat and pair of panties.
Best scene in story: It is totally funny when Jamie Foxx, as recent convict and hired hit man, explains how things must go down to Dale, Kurt and Nick. Let us just say that they are not in possession of criminal minds. Opinion about the main character: Though this is an ensemble cast, I like that Nick Hendricks Jason Bateman is persistently charming in the face of horribleness at the office. Well, mostly. Horrible bosses is about three average guys named Nick Hendricks, Kurt Buckman and Dale Arbus who want to get ahead in their probable jobs.
However, they all have one problem in achieving this goal and that is they all have horrible bosses with jobs difficult to escape due to the economic crisis and the other for being on the sexual predator list for an innocent incident.
