What?
Everybody who ever worked knows the feeling of having a boss that isn't exactly your favorite creature in the world. I'm even sure that a lot of people even imagined killing their boss in one way or another. Slicing them up real nice, preparing a kill room, throwing them out of the window or just stabbing them with a pencil in the eye. (A bit too much I guess) So the difference between you and our three cases here is that they take the matter a bit farther, they actually going through with it. Plan and execute. Of course if you are not a professional killer, you probably going to have a hard time, doing it right or at all. You can only imagine how this goes on!

Yes?
Let's start with the simple stuff, you have here a bunch of serious actors who just do what they do best, act. Kevin spacey as the bastard boss, Collin Farrell as the coke head boss and Jennifer Anniston as the raping boss. Of course Jennifer has another quality besides the great acting; she just pulls it off as eye candy! (Still I must say impressive)




The trailer already shows you a bunch of the great moments, but I was happy that you had some others beside those. It was kind a funny in a hangover way, predictable, cheap but entertaining.



Bateman and Sudeikis were just perfect. Bateman was the serious guy and Charlie Day as his total opposite of him, stupid and crazy.



No?
Something really disturbed me here. The fact that they decide to kill their bosses so easily just didn't make any sense, you have bunch of other possibilities besides killing them. But whatever I guess this is the movie.



Then we had Mr. Sudeikis, who I just felt was to vanilla, he just didn't bring anything here to the movie, he wasn't too funny or important.



Well...
The movie was quite entertaining although I expected a bit more. Don't watch it at the movies, on the couch, bucket of popcorn is way enough. Because of all the above I grade this one...



Grade: 7 out of 10
