Horrible Bosses 7/5/11

This is a review for the new movie Horrible Bosses starring Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudekis, Colin Farrell, Kevin Spacey and Jennifer Aniston. I give this movie 4 out of 5 stars.

Nick (Jason Bateman), Kurt (Jason Sudekis) and Dale (Charlie Day) are 3 friends for years that all have issues at work. Nick works for Dave Harken (Kevin Spacey). Harken is just an evil, maniacal, ego-driven guy that enjoys making Nick's life hell. Kurt works for a family owned chemical plant who has a great relationship with the owner. When the owner dies, his son Bobby (Colin Farrell) takes over. Bobby's interest lie in taking every dime from the business and spending it on hookers and coke. Charlie is a dental assistant for Dr. Julia Harris (Jennifer Aniston). Julia is a bit of a wild woman and really wants Charlie, though he is engaged.

Life would be so much better for all 3 if the bosses were removed from the picture. Over drinks and talking hypothetically, the idea of taking them out comes up. This is where the funny comes in. Lots of great lines and some twists that you might not have expected. I don't want to say too much since it is not out yet. I will say that Jennifer Aniston completely breaks our of her shell as the good girl. She stole the show with this role and I think you might see her in more dirty roles in the future. All the guys were great though you have seen this Spacey before. Sudekis works better here than in Hall Pass.

WARNING: This is a HARD R movie for language. DO NOT BE FOOLED BY THE PROMOS. If you are slightly prudish about sex, the lines that Julia utters in this movie will make you blush hard. As a guy, I was even shocked by some of the things she said.
