Horrible Bosses - More Than Decent.

(2011) ★★★★☆

What if your boss is like one of those in ‘Horrible Bosses’ that is so mean, so cruel, so sick, so much of an abuser, a sadist or a psycho, you name it? What’d you do? Easy. Quit the job. No, you can’t, because they’d make sure you end up in misery by besmirching your reputation in the business. So again, what’s you gonna do? In the end, I guess you may have no choice but to end them? Of course you don’t have to do it yourself.

In the film, 3 miserable guys, Nick, Dale and Kurt want to hire a hitman to finish their bosses played by Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Aniston and Colin Farrell. The problem is, it’s not at all easy to get a pro to do the job. They assume they can find one in the most dangerous bar in town, where Jamie Foxx’s Motherfucker Jones turns up as someone seemingly fit for the job but…okay, enough of the plot. ‘Horrible Bosses’ is a mesmerizing comedy that has plot twists to surprise and tons of dirty jokes and talks to entertain. You’d get to hear a few more dirty words they invent than those 7 words you can never hear on TV. It may not be so pleasant to some but this is absolutely a nice flick to learn some real American English that could probably help you get a top grade in oral exam. Kidding!

It’s certain that, without the great and unselfish performances by Kevin, Jennifer and Colin, this film will be far less captivating. They’re so professional that they don’t mind ruining their own image by playing someone looking so terrible and behaving so despicable. They deserve our adoration indeed.

You may still consider your boss a headache despite the fact that he or she has been quite good to you. You think so simply because you aren’t in their shoes. I’m not sure if a boss has to be horrible to keep things going but one thing for sure, if you’re horrible to others, they’ll be pretty horrible to you too. And you could even come to a head for that!
