Nick hates his boss, mostly because he's expected to work from before sunrise to after sunset and his boss, Mr. Harken, calls him out for being a minute late and blackmails him so he can't quit. Dale hates his boss, Dr. Julia Harris, because she makes unwelcome sexual advances when he's about to get married. But Dale is on that pesky list of child-offenders so he can't quit. Kurt actually likes his job and his boss--well, up until his boss dies and the boss's coked-out, psychopathic son takes over. But who would be crazy enough to quit their jobs in such poor economic times? Instead, Nick, Dale, and Kurt drunkenly and hypothetically discuss how to kill their bosses, and before they know it, they've hired a murder consultant to help them pull off the three deeds.
Leave your thoughts about Horrible Bosses.
| Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallThe funniest comedy of degeneracy since "Bad Santa," and a career-changer for Aniston and Farrell if they'll only keep following their perverted muses. Horrible Bosses spins hostile work environments into a movie surpassing "9 to 5" and "Office Space" as the touchstone flick for disenchanted drones. |
| Film.comEric D. SniderA jubilant, vulgar, and extremely funny farce.... Day, Sudeikis, and Bateman are a dream team of comic actors. |
| One Guy's OpinionFrank SwietekA lightweight, mildly ribald farce that offers some stray laughs, smothered in a morass of 'Three Stooges'-style dumbness. |
| Chicago ReaderJ. R. JonesJason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jason Sudeikis are pals who decide to knock off their miserable bosses, and their conspiracy leads in all sorts of unexpected directions in this crowd-pleasing, occasionally funny farce. |
| CHUDNick NunziataAdd Horrible Bosses to the list of absolutely great comedies we've been given in the past ten years. |
| CHUDDevin FaraciIt could almost be argued that Horrible Bosses' general middle of the road, vanilla, just-good-enough nature is actually on purpose, a reflection of the lead characters' own qualities. |
| New York ObserverRex ReedIt's one of those revolting, raunch-fueled movies churned out in their sleep by the Farrelly brothers and Judd Apatow that I usually hate, but with real cleverness, off-center wit and edgy imagination. Imagine an X-rated Three Stooges farce, and you get the picture. |
| HitFixDrew McWeenyI laughed, but even as I laughed, I was frustrated by the potential that feels unfulfilled. |
| Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumA bouncy, well-built, delightfully nasty tale of resentment, desperation, and amoral revenge that does for employer-employee relations what Danny DeVito and Bette Midler did for the bonds of matrimony in the great 1986 Zucker brothers comedy "Ruthless People." |
| Chicago Sun-TimesRoger Ebert"Horrible Bosses" is funny and dirty in about that order. |
