Movie #509 "Horrible Bosses" had some very funny moments, esp. that involved Charlie Day (whom I really didn't know until this film). All the people are very competent comedic actors, so that covered up any iffy times that the comedy didn't work --- which were really few and far between. This is a bit raunchy and violent, though. kind of a takeoff on Hitchcock's "Strangers on a Train" so it has some bloody moments --- but everyone is playing it to the hilt. Jamie Foxx is esp. funny, and this really keeps up that screwball comedy rhythm of "man in a mess." Found it quite funny, but very much fluff!
3.7 out of 5 stars
Horrible Bosses
(2011) R
Disgruntled buddies Nick (Jason Bateman), Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) and Dale (Charlie Day) can't leave their miserable jobs, so they cook up a creative strategy for eliminating each other's micromanaging and maniacal employers (Jennifer Aniston, Colin Farrell, Kevin Spacey) instead in this crackpot comedy. Peculiar advice from con artist Motherf**ker Jones (Jamie Foxx) gets the scheme in motion, but the pals can't keep the wheels from flying off.
Genre: Comedies
This movie is: Goofy, Quirky
