Horrible Bosses (2011)

Really Surprised!

Most undeservingly overhyped movie of all time??

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

God I hate Charlie Day's voice!!!Omg I can't stand it

I seldom switch off a movie but I gave this one more time than it deserved. There was nothing redeemable or even funny about it. If this is what's considered comedy, then Hollywood's definitely lost its way.Avoid.

Nick, Dale and Kurt are three friends who really hate their bosses (with reasons more or less understandable). Their hatred becomes more and more profound so one day, they decide to actually kill them. Advised by a black person (supposedly a hit-man), they decide that the best way to do it is by killing each other's bosses. From here on, they start collecting evidence (a.k.a. "intel") for the big hit. Unfortunately (or fortunately) their plans don't end up as wanted. The question is, will they be able to get rid of their problematic bosses or find themselves covered in even more trouble? It's a superb comedy, I must say. It made me laugh so much I couldn't even believe it's true. The actual story isn't as well made as it could be but interlaced with a great core idea and a wonderful comedy presentation, brings a new dimension in laughter. Make sure you don't miss it!

I didn't exactly know the plot when I started watching, I just knew the name and didn't make big assumptions based on it. The biggest reason for me to watch this movie is the incredibly talented cast. I'm especially fond of Charlie Day, Jennifer Aniston, Colin Darrel, Kevin Spacey and Jamie Foxx. The casting is great, everyone's character is exactly right for them, and especially when it comes to comedians and their style of acting in comedic roles.The plot is funny and it's actually so weird how thrilling this movie ended up being. But as to whether or not it's unpredictable... it's a comedy, so typically the writers have chosen always to go into the funniest way possible. Well, as funny as they can imagine. Sometimes it's predictable, sometimes it's not. What you can predict that in comedies everyone is very very dumb even when they are accidentally brilliant. Everything is going wrong until the last possible moment perhaps. So vis-à-vis the plot and the humour, Horrible Bosses is just pretty average typical dark comedy, apart from having somewhat atypical plot. And by somewhat atypical I mean it has definitely been done before, but it's not repeating some movie that already exists, and the same kind of thing isn't being done every year - apart from sequels. What bothered me the most was the annoying way the characters reacted to their friend (played by Charlie Day) being sexually assaulted by his female boss. "Your situation isn't so bad", "I can't really take you seriously right now", like are you f#@4ing kidding me? Apparently it's rare to see men writing comedy and not being really awfully sexist, like can people stop with the idea that men would enjoy being sexually assaulted / raped? So all in all, pretty average for its genre and humour. ... Wow that seems really dark after the last paragraph but that's how it is, I guess. Anyway yeah, obviously there are so many frustrating "jokes" that make you think this movie was made decades ago instead of six years ago, but that's Hollywood for ya.
