Rarely does every actor or actress in a comedy film seem to be trying to outshine one another while working together to create comic perfection.
Horrible Bosses was comic perfection for that exact reason. Whether it be one of the bosses (Jennifer Aniston, Colin Farrell or Kevin Spacey) or one of the employees (Jason Bateman, Charlie Day or Jason Sudeikis) or even the murder consultant Jamie Foxx, every person in this movie is hilarious. The film follows the three above mentioned employees, each employed by one of the mentioned bosses, as they attempt to kill each other's horrible bosses. The three work brilliantly together to create funny moment after funny moment, from Charlie Day sitting alone in a car jamming out to The Ting Ting's
That's Not My Name to the three of them breaking into Farrell's character's coked out (and I do mean the drug) apartment. Normally, these three would be enough reason to see the movie but they share the screen and are almost matched in hilarity by the three bosses. Colin Farrell is barely recognizable as Sudeikis' coked out, jerk of a boss and Aniston goes out of what I've seen to be her acting comfort zone to become a sex-addicting, twisted, maneater of a boss. Though both Farrell and Aniston are great, it is Spacey that really leads the boss cast of the film. Spacey plays Bateman's controlling, manipulative, jerk of a boss and quickly makes it clear that he is the main "villian" of the film. Though he is only in a couple of scenes, Jamie Foxx shows his comedic skills as the murder consultant Mother F'er Jones, and you can be assured that in the film the name is not as nicely edited. Unlike
Bridesmaids, I do not recommend seeing this film with your grandmother, unless of course she enjoys lots of sex jokes and some raunchy humor. If that stuff is up your alley though, make sure you see this movie. I give
Horrible Bosses a 9.5 out of 10. Miss seeing this one in theaters and you're not only missing out on a great film, but your missing out on the funniest movie of the summer.
