Three best pals—played by Jason Sudeikis (swoon), Jason Bateman (faint), and Charlie Day (lose bladder control)—trapped in shitty jobs by the shitty economy try to navigate all the practical complications of what it would be like to murder their bosses and get away with it. Horrible Bosses is no masterpiece (and Jennifer Aniston’s dimensionless she-rapist gives me pause), but it’s a solid comedy with great chemistry. And enjoy Day while you can, before he gets so Galifianakily overexposed that you forget he was once the funniest man on earth. Because he is. (See Movie Times)

It’s dumb summer fun. It wouldn’t have been as entertaining without the casting which is great (Colin Farrell is very funny).
