Details

For Nick, Kurt and Dale, the only thing that would make the daily grind more tolerable would be to grind their intolerable bosses into dust. Quitting is not an option, so, with the benefit of a few-too-many drinks and some dubious advice from a hustling ex-con, the three friends devise a convoluted and seemingly foolproof plan to rid themselves of their respective employers... permanently.

ThiefHott Too much of everything
BootDigest Such a frustrating disappointment
Dotbankey A lot of fun.
Rexanne It’s sentimental, ridiculously long and only occasionally funny
cricketbat Horrible Bosses has some funny moments, but it is a little too over-the-top for my tastes. The crude and vulgar language is so prevalent that it is distracting. The performances are impressive, in particular Kevin Spacey and Colin Farrell, but I can't really recommend this movie.
stolerules it's hilarious i wrote this only to have enough lines blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
HotToastyRag Either Jennifer Aniston was still tied to the Faustian contract that forced her to work with Adam Sandler, or she was ridiculously determined to shed her FRIENDS image. Sure, that makes sense. Take the role that made you a millionaire and one of the most popular actresses in America, a household name, a hair and fashion icon, and gave you a decades-long career, and do everything you can to tear that image to shreds.Anyway, Jennifer Aniston's filthy sex-crazed character in Horrible Bosses aside, it's not the worst movie in the world. Parts of it are pretty funny, if you like raunchy comedies. I look at it as the male, much filthier version of 9 to 5. Three unhappy friends plot to "get rid of" their horrible bosses. However, those who saw the original in the theater probably won't like this version; it has the distinct air of being aimed at the under-50 crowd.Kiddy Warning: Obviously, you have control over your own children. However, due to sexual jokes and adult situations, I wouldn't let my kids watch it.
Imdbidia Who hasn't, a certain point in time, wanted to see a horrible boss dead? Or at least wished them the very worst, like dead? :)) Guilty. The script takes on the challenge, creating work situations with which many people can identify, and with feelings of frustration, despair and revenge that we have all had but never carry out, of course. We need the fantasy, and this movie is the fantasy.This is not a comedy that reinvents the genre, it is not a witty movie, or white humour, is every-day humour with all the stereotypes and nuances that we want in a movie when we want to LOL at ease.The movie succeeds because it has a classic funny script with formulas that work in comedy and, especially, because the cast fits like puzzle pieces and there is chorus working to make you laugh, instead of a hero comedian trying you to get his/her humour. I especially liked some of the bad bosses :)) Kevin Spacey as the psychopathic posh boss, and the biggest surprise to me was Jennifer Aston; I'm not a fan of her at all, but she she is great as the sassy horrible dominatrix dentist boss.I had a great time watching this film. Perhaps because I didn't expect anything, not even laughing, and found myself really doing so.
