Horrible Bosses

Profane, juvenile, and pretty good

Three bumbling schmucks (Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis) whose working lives are hell thanks to their title employers (Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Aniston, Colin Farrell), hit on a Strangers on a Train solution to their workplace woes and decide, on the advice of their “murder consultant” (a hilarious Jamie Foxx), to off each other’s bosses. They’re not very good at this. But they’re funny. Aniston’s surprisingly good as a balls-to-the-wall, ragingly foul-mouthed, sexual-harassing dentist. More, please, Jen. It’s profane and juvenile, but as profane and juvenile comedies go, it’s pretty good.
