May 9, 2012I'm going to resist the temptation to simply review "Horrible Bosses" as follows - "Horrible Bosses, Horrible Film".
It's all you really need to know, but as reviewer I feel compelled to expand on the above. In "Horrible Bosses" you have an non original idea, some comic situa... read more -
May 8, 2012Horrible Bosses will not appeal to all,but will send many who watch it either laughing their socks off or offended.
Positives:
Very, very funny
Kevin Spacey was superb
Jennifer Aniston was hysterical
Negatives:
Too many cliches (but most films are these days)
Some dark... read more -
April 1, 2012First opinion before watching this movie : wow, how many stars that involved in this movie.. The three main cast : Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jason Sudeikis are doing just fine, the three of them not only hilarious with their stupidity acts but also with their behavior such ... read more

March 27, 2012A very good adult comedy. I think it works so well as you have good actors in the smaller roles who don't normally do comedy. Kevin Spacey and Jamie Foxx are both great and good to see more of Jennifer Aniston in many ways, doing something different to the nice girl next door Rom... read more

March 24, 2012Funny movie about three best buddies who hate their bosses. Like strangers on a train, they plot to kill each other's bosses. It's a bit off the wall like the Hangover. Good plot and cast. Funniest scenes are with Kevin Spacey. Strong language. Jennifer either has been airbrushed... read more

March 20, 2012A surprisingly funny movie, a top end cast and a promise to be a brilliant comedy are two factors that could mean that this movie fails to impress, especially if your going by movies like Valentines Day and New york i love you! Both movies with a large brilliant cast and hold the... read more

February 27, 2012Three average Joes, each with a boss that is an absolute nightmare, conspire to kill off their respective superiors to make their lives a little easier. The only problem is, they're totally incompetant when it comes to this sort of thing.
That's the set up, and it's a simple one... read more -
February 17, 2012Oh, if only we could work at a job without bosses. We would be able to live and work in happiness then, right? Jason Bateman is a suck up whose brown-nosing seems to have backfired when boss Kevin Spacey gives himself the sweet raise and extra office. Meanwhile, poor dental hy... read more

February 12, 2012I have to admit it... I liked this movie. It wasn't laugh out loud funny very often. Instead, it was a constant chuckle for me. Lots, and lots of chuckles. Definitely full of recognizable faces. Charlie Day really made this movie. He is a hoot!!

February 9, 2012Much preferred it over "Bad Teacher" and the second "Hangover" film...not overflowing with laughs for me, but Kevin Spacey was the standout, and the other actors got some LOLs from me as well. Definitely recommended. And oh...I'm glad none of those are my bosses!

A lot of low-stakes humor, occasionally brought off by a mostly ingratiating cast. Full Review

For something like Horrible Bosses to sparkle, the actors have to shine... and shine they do. Full Review

Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor
The coarseness wouldn't be so bad if at least the steady stream of obscenities were funny. But there is, after all, an art to talking dirty. Full Review

Christopher Orr, The Atlantic
Horrible Bosses offers a reminder that adherence to formula may not be among the signal virtues of comedy, but--provided the jokes are funny--it's no great vice either. Full Review

Lisa Kennedy, Denver Post
As they say, the best laid plans go oft awry. So what transpires in a comedy about the worst-laid schemes? These guys don't seem built for premeditated murder but are perfectly capable of mayhem. Full Review

Adam Graham, Detroit News
Horrible Bosses takes a dark premise -- three buddies band together to off their bosses -- and rings it for a solid, steady stream of laughs. Full Review

The screenplay is a hit and miss; but there are some laughs. Full Review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail
What's right about Horrible Bosses is less easy to identify, but it comes down to something like esprit de corps. Full Review

Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger
The smartest thing about "Horrible Bosses" is that it both refuses to just clock in and waste time - and, at the same time, works extra hard to hold our attention. Full Review
