Three disgruntled and boss-bullied friends take their anxiety to the extreme in the Seth Gordon directed film Horrible Bosses. Engaged dental nurse Dale Arbus (Charlie Day) is routinely the object of unwanted crude approaches by Dr Julia Harris (Jennifer Aniston). Finance staffer Nick Hendricks (Jason Bateman) suffers under the slave-driving undermining management of Dave Harken (Kevin Spacey) and chemical company employee Kurt Buckman (Jason Sudeikis) is subject to the ridiculous cocaine-fuelled direction of Bobby, the son of his much-loved late boss Jack Pellitt (Donald Sutherland).
Eventually all three friends agree that their horrific working days should stop and decide to end their bosses careers and lives permanently. What follows is an amusing and mishap-laden adventure to carry out their plan. Jamie Foxx gives a star turn as their murder consultant. The bosses are skilfully played, especially Kevin Spacey as Harken. Dale Arbus is the most hilarious of the employees. Go along for constant chuckles as it’s a rare comedy that keeps you laughing throughout.

Hi Deb,
I thought this was OK as American Sitcom’s go but I felt the plot progression was slightly flawed: where is the motivation for the three main characters to conspire to murder their bosses?
Kevin Spacey’s character has an ego so large that he eventually decides the only way to accommodate it is to knock through a wall into the next office! And as for Jennifer Aston (the nymphomaniac dentist) well, where to do I apply? In the end I found myself sympathising more with the horrible bosses of the film’s title, who frankly steal the show, than with the whinging employees.
Anyway, full marks for effort and I would highly recommend Horrible Bosses to anyone.
Thanks for your feedback. Horrible Bosses was certainly very entertaining!
