    HORRIBLE BOSSES rocks...

    A fantastic cast starring Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis, plus Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Aniston, Colin Farrell and Jamie Foxx in small roles with high performance values. Bateman, Day and Sudeikis are friends with bosses from hell, namely Spacey, Aniston and Farrell. They hatch a plan to murder their bosses and all hell breaks loose. I laughed like hell through out the entire film. Spacy is fantastic as is Farrell. And Jennifer, well I have never seen her in a role like this. She is HOT, HOT, HOT. I bought it on blu-ray ( fantastic transfer ) and will play it again soon.
    A huge :T

    Yeah that roll was definitely a different type the Jennifer normally does, but she did a good job.

      Just watched this last night.
      Pretty good laughs. Jennifer was... wow! I never thought I would think of her as THAT hot. Her character was great. Some pretty funny characters in this movie. Worth a watch.

        I quite enjoyed it as well and I'm not much into comedies.

            Watched it on PPV tonight. Eh... honestly, I thought it was so-so. Maybe I'm getting old, but I thought part was contrived. Some was pretty funny, though.

            And yes, Jennifer was QUITE smokin' in this movie.

            Well, we're safe for now. Thank goodness we're in a bowling alley.

              Isn't most stuff contrived today ? What made the difference in this one for me was the off the wall performances by Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell and sweetie pie, Jennifer. Just hilarious.

                  And you have never seen her as she is in this film, Paul. She's worth the price of the purchase or rental. :T

                    When I can make time (only movies I seem to watch these days are work related), this one will be high on my list. Perhaps even next week.

                      Well I found it pretty amusing...the wife, less so :lol:

                      Jennifer did certainly keep your attention in the scenes she was in!

                        Just watched it (had a couple of free hours in a row--rare thing these days).

                        One--Jennifer is hot, hot, HOT. Wow.

                        Two--The actors were all well-cast (Jamie Foxx was great).

                        Three--Wasn't as amusing as I thought it would be. I liked it, but (apart from hi-def Jennifer) I saw no reason to revisit this anytime soon. There were a number of funny set pieces but it felt more like a series of skits than a seamless whole. This can be said, of course, of many comedies and they are still enjoyable (some are even fantastic) but, for me, it was a bit uneven. I guess I was hoping it would be a little less "safe", given the premise. The concept had the potential for a bit darker humour and the cast would have been up to the task. Worth a viewing but unless I see it in the 4.99$ bin (for the benefit of hi-def Jennifer), not a purchase for me.

                          I know what you are saying, Paul. I was just floored by the performances and because of that I'll enjoy watching it again. Story-wise, if other actors were involved, I'd probably have written it off as, as you said, just a series of skits.
