This is my favorite to be the funniest movie of the year. Such a funny cast and the preview is hilarious. Really hope I am not setting myself up for a disappointment.

Horrible Bosses

Release Date: July 8, 2011
Studio: New Line Cinema (Warner Bros.)
Director: Seth Gordon
Screenwriter: Michael Markowitz, John Francis Daley, Jonathan Goldstein
Genre: Comedy
MPAA Rating: R (for crude and sexual content, pervasive language and some drug material)
Website: HorribleBossesmovie.com

Starring: Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis, Jennifer Aniston, Colin Farrell, Kevin Spacey, Donald Sutherland, Julie Bowen, Jamie Foxx

Plot Summary: For Nick (Jason Bateman), Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) and Dale (Charlie Day), the only thing that would make the daily grind more tolerable would be to grind their intolerable bosses (Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell, Jennifer Aniston) into dust. Quitting is not an option, so, with the benefit of a few-too-many drinks and some dubious advice from a hustling ex-con (Jamie Foxx), the three friends devise a convoluted and seemingly foolproof plan to rid themselves of their respective employers...permanently. There's only one problem: even the best laid plans are only as foolproof as the brains behind them.

Charlie Day is hilarious on IASIP, actually all three of these guys are hilarious, and from the looks of the previews, Jennifer Anniston looks even hotter as a brunette than she does as a blonde, which I didn't think was possible.. So I'll definitely see this movie it looks funny.

That being said, doesn't the premise of this movie seem a bit dumb? How is Killing your boss a viable alternative to quitting? Just sayin... I'll have to wait and see what leads them to that but I've had a few horrible bosses and I've still never considered murdering them, lol.

This movie was actually kind of funny. Jennifer Anniston does indeed still look hot. The rest of the cast was great. The only thing keeping this from being a really good movie was the ending. The ending left me feeling flat which is too bad as I was enjoying it up until the very end.

Ever love your job, but hate your boss? I'll plead the 5th. :p

I think this looks funny. I am gonna check it out.

Saw this weekend - thoroughly enjoyed it!

I also thought 'geez, what a dumb premise - kill your bosses' but they are such an inept trio that you know things will go hilariously wrong.

And yes, they do sit down and discuss why not quit your job, but (through a mutual friend) realize it's such a bad economy they can't afford to just quit.

Jennifer Aniston's character is great. Actually, they were all great.

Great movie. I am such a fan of Charlie Day so it is great to finally see him get into the movies. Also Kevin Spacey pretty much stole the show whenever he was on screen.

Saw it tonight. Thought it was amusing and comical, but not all that LOL funny. Definitely worth a look.

Great cast. Loved Jamie Foxx's character. I don't think Kevin Spacey can do anything bad. And Jennifer Aniston was smoking hot.

And I love Jason Bateman, so there's always that.

MESA! :thud:
Watched it last night; I thought it was really funny; dcr not so much.

I was all proud of myself for spotting Sam Weir from Freaks and Geeks (John Francis Daley) as one of Jason Bateman's coworkers. He also co-wrote it. Pretty cool.
