Seth Gordon relies on the comic chops of his recognisable cast to carry his Horrible Bosses through, ultimately turning in a mixed bag -- instead of the excellent black comedy he might've made -- because of his own deficient, slapdash approach. Even with the brilliant supporting work of Kevin Spacey, the film plays out as an act of self-sabotage.

Horrible Bosses turned out better than I expected it to be. It's a fun little flick that has enough going for it to not be a complete waste of time. Sure Bateman is starting to become tiresome and Day can get quite annoying at times with his whiny voice but otherwise these were all fun characters. They should've given Farell more screen time though as does his role of being a complete and utter tool total justice. As for Anniston, can we please get a spin-off based on her character? please?

shame on you, Kevin Spacey, for tricking me into watching this one

6+ recommended

One of higher than average comedies, for the ones who hate their boss a must see, but not funny to everyone.

The fact that this film is so unoriginal is really detrimental to its overall appeal, but luckily it’s funny enough to warm over any audience. The humour gets an ‘A’, but unfortunately the film falls into the cluster of mediocre summer hits that won’t amount to anything more than just ‘funny’.

I saw this movie only because Jennifer Aniston was in it. And her - and only hers - performance rocked. All-in-all this is a lame movie. Three dudes on a mission to kill each others bosses? I mean, seriously??

Not the best script but the actors make it work. The coke-like fast pacey comedy stylings of Day balances out the ever present dead pan of Bateman and with the overall weirdness that is Sudekis you have a great trio almost as good as the famous Wolf Pack. It's however the bosses who steal all focus. Spacey is awsomly psycotic, Aniston performs her best part yet and Farrel is amazing as the quintessential coke doucebag. Surprisingly funny but sadly lacking an x-factor. Perhaps more cow bell?

the only thing, this movie left me with, is the urge to become a dental assistant.

Now, this is just dumb. That wouldn't be much of a problem, if it was funny as well. But it isn't. It's crude and nasty just for the sake of being that, has a way-too-neat ending and doesn't even bother with being clever or entertaining or, for that matter, utilizing its terrific cast. The cast is indeed the only reason this isn't an utter failure, making little stupid jokes work and the film flow rather pleasantly. Still, I wouldn't recommend it even for brainless fun.

So it may not be the greatest comedy ever, but Horrible Bosses has plenty of laughs and enough of an interesting story to keep you engaged throughout

Filme engraçado, que depende principalmente do desempenho dos tres chefes horriveis (Jennifer Aniston, Colin Farrell e principalmente Kevin Spacey), cujos respectivos empregados querem ver mortos. De resto, alguns gags sao um bocado forcados e a historia rapidamente entre por rumos um bocado inverosímeis. Mas da para passar alguns bons momentos.

I can take it or leave it.

I didn’t really laugh out loud much but it was fun. I’d say I enjoyed it. The bosses actually didn’t feature that much, but Kevin Spacey & Jennifer Aniston were awesome. Colin Farrell didn’t impress me, however. The standout was definitely Charlie Day though. He was pretty damn funny. I thought Jamie Foxx was good also as “Motherfucker Jones”. So, yeah, I wouldn’t call it a good film exactly, but it was entertaining and fun throughout.

Despite the reputation of summer comedies with big-name casts, this one not only surprises but excels in its ability to be smart, stupid, and extremely entertaining. Everyone involved seems to be having a whale of a time, and it really shows, and it's possibly for that reason that even Aniston's incredibly funny performance blends into an exceptional background. Well worth the time.

Rather kill me now than make me watch Charlie Day and listen to his nails-on-chalkboard voice again. This movie had a few outstandingly funny scenes, but the vast majority was cringe-worthy, over the top, trying too hard rubbish.

the mediocrity of this movie is mindnumbing. there's very few laugh out loud moments, fewer than a 20 minute sitcom. a huge waste of a very diverse cast. on the upside, Aniston never looked hotter.

Mildly funny, but nothing special.

Has a really Hangover-esque feel to it. Pretty much every character is some variety of idiot, and it ends up being mostly about a series of wacky screw-ups. It's all pretty good, but my biggest complaint is that Kevin Spacey's character went way too far over the top near the end, to the point that it couldn't be believable.

Although the story is kind of stupid I very much enjoyed this movie because of the comedy involved. I haven't seen Jennifer Aniston this amazing as an actrice for a long time.. Great job! Spacey was perfectly cast as the hardass and Farrell did an amazing job as well! Great cast!

It was sorta funny and dst7175 is correct

Watchable and fun. Relies too much on humor that has been seen a lot before, though.

Essentially Office Space (except not quite as funny and relatable) crossed with It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia (except not quite as funny and outrageous). Still good fun, but forgettable. Here's hoping Charlie Day gets more big-screen work, though.

Better than most comedies with Zach Gallifiwhatsit and Seth Rogen. Not remarkable, but not horrible. Bosses.
