Horrible Bosses is a seductress. The film can be best described in the following analogy- Horrible Bosses is a hot stripper. Horrible Bosses (hereby referred to as Candy) catches your eye because of how hot she is (moreover, the all-star cast catches your eye). You go to the strip club (theater) because you saw Candy's picture (movie poster) on a taxi-cab or billboard. You then proceed to spot out Candy in the club after a few drinks and throwing a few ones down (after watching the trailers). Finally, you find Candy, ask her for a private dance and proceed to head to a backroom with her (the movie starts). You are so excited because of how hot she is and you are so eager for the song (opening credits) to kick in so that you can begin your dance (film). The dance proceeds to be awesome and you are loving it. The whole time you can't believe how fun it is and you just lose yourself in Candy's moves (the film's one-liners). After the dance is over, you are left blue-balled due to all of Candy's teasing (the film's plethora of jokes). Looking back, you feel a bit gross because of how raunchy it was, but in the end you thought it was so freaking cool and you can't wait to go back and do it all again.
Horrible Bosses is a great film, with lots of razzle and lots of dazzle. The cast is superb, headlined by Donald Sutherland's greatest performance since Animal House. Charlie Day and Jason Sudekis are standouts as well, as they go the distance and deliver stellar performances. Jennifer Aniston was great as playing someone other than Jennifer Aniston for a change. (By the way, didn't her dentist's office have a lot of space, or was it just me?) Kevin Spacey came through as usual, this time with his 7th best performance to date. The director was able to extract a virtuoso performance from Jason Bateman as well. Lastly, Colin Farrell was in the zone (also known as being in bruges).
In summation, Horrible Bosses gets a rating of: ALL TIME CLASSIC!
