Info

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.

Horrible Bosses Audience Reviews

More Review
FirstWitch A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.
Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.
Mathilde the Guild Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Cheryl A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
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.
WubsTheFadger Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadgerThe acting throughout the entire film is good. Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Spacey, Jason Sudeikis, and Collin Farrell all do a great job at portraying their respective characters. Jennifer Aniston's character is probably the best only because Jennifer is so freaking hot. The story is fast paced and is very funny with well timed jokes and some over the top humor. The runtime is a little bit lengthy and the ending is kinda cliché.Pros: Great acting, fast pace, well timed humor, and Jennifer Aniston's hot bodyCons : Overlong runtime and a cliché endingOverall Rating: 7.3P.S. This movie left a good enough impression so I will probably watch the second one.
hyoga_saint Although the script is sharp, with a solid plot and great banter, Horrible Bosses is really all about the performances, with the impressive cast showing they really enjoyed the material, digging their teeth into it and making this movie a very entertaining, quite funny and at times laugh out loud adult comedy.Spacey, Aniston, and Farrell steal the show, going against type and shining as the title characters, playing these outrageous, over-the- top bosses with gusto. Though their behavior is reprehensible, they torment their employees with such hilarity you can't help asking for more of their scenes.Bateman and Sudeikis are both pretty good in their roles, too, with the former quite sympathetic and the latter giving a sardonic performance not unlike the one in Meet the Millers. In fact, this movie reminded me of that one, both in tone and humor. I enjoyed both equally and welcome this type of comedies.The weak link here is probably Charlie Day, While I wouldn't say I hated his role, I was left unimpressed with his grating, high- pitched voice and whiny character. I'd say he's tolerable and somewhat funny at times, but he was really walking on the edge, dangerously close to being just a tiny bit too annoying.Regardless, this is still a pretty entertaining comedy, both smart and funny, and a great option for movie night with friends. In fact this is a pretty safe choice for laughs with wide appeal, the kind you rented back in Blockbuster days that left everybody satisfied. Note: there's actually another hilarious performance in there I didn't mention, but I'd rather not spoil it. (+) Fun characters, great performances but the 'horrible bosses', tight plot, sharp dialogue and a fair share of laughs.(-) Actually fairly tame given the subject and R rating, it holds back a little and remains a step or two below legendary status. Not a fan of Charlie Day's character.
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.
