Horrible Bosses (2011)

Year of first release: 2011

Conditions of visioning: 22.09.2012, Blu-ray, Home cinema
Synopsis: Three friends end up with horrible bosses that make their life miserable in different ways, and they will have to surpass themselves if they want to do something about it.
Review: The movie plays with the fact that everybody can have problems at work with ther superior, and pushes this constatation to the extreme. The three friends are funny to watch as they try to do something that is absolutely not in their nature. By contrast, the behaviors of the bosses are horripilating, and also funny since completely exagerated. The gold medal goes to Colin Farrell who is brillant and completely out the role we usualy know him for, reminding me of Brad Pitt in Fight Club. Sometimes the movie is a bit slow, but this is maybe due to the extended Blu-ray version (15 minutes longer) that I watched. Some other times I felt it tried to copy Hangover or a Kevin Smith movie (Clerks) in its crude sexual discussions.
Rating: 6 / 10
