What binds three friends together is their urge to kill their respective bosses....
Bosses! Good bosses. Great bosses. Inspiring bosses. Chilled out bosses. Buddy bosses.... Mean bosses. Selfish bosses. Humiliating bosses. Manipulative bosses. Sexually starved bosses.... The world is full of different kinds of bosses. If you are lucky enough, work can be cakewalk; workplace can be fun. But if your leader is a horrible boss, just as the unlucky three in Horrible Bosses, the five-years-down-the-line planning is pretty obvious - getting rid of that boss. But how?
That is just the point where this movie scores considering we have had our ultimate good-employee-terror-of-a-boss ordeal in The Devil Wears Prada. Here, more than the evilness of the boss (it is there in aplenty), it's the how-to-get-rid of the boss ideas that makes every moment a funny one. Not just brought out through (rather adult) one-liners, but also through the various incidents. Add to that some oh-I-can-relate-to-that-stereotypical character, good performances, crazy situations... and you are sure to laugh your way to theatres.
Sample this: Nick Hendricks (Jason Bateman) takes pride in being the 'Yes Man' at work, even if it means a forceful gulping down of his boss's eighteen-year-old scotch at eight in the morning. His boss, Dave Harken (Kevin Spacey), simply trusts his own self when it comes to taking on that extra portfolio... for 85 per cent of the total salary. Next is the cool Kurt Buckman (Jason Sudeikis) coping with Thomas (Steve Wiebe). He can't understand why his new boss can't stick to old ways. The new way means turning workplace into one full of heroin and heroine. Finally, it's Jennifer Aniston as Julia Harris, the dentist, who 'does not mind an extra drill or two' as long as the one doing it is Dale Arbus (Charlie Day).
So do the three poor souls really get to win over... and kill their respective bosses? Well, can't really say that here though we do get to learn the secret mantra to success at work: Be your own boss. Now, they don't teach that at B-schools! Do they?

Horrible bosses is very light movie. It is typical hollywood sex comedy. The three idiots really mess things up. Specially the boss Dave Harken is my favourite. Everyone really want to kill this boss!!! really really annaoying. Jennifer Aniston is super sexy boss...but... she is so perverted!!! oh man!! love this movie!!!

Hilarious movie it is. Performances by Jason Bateman, Kevin Spacey and Jennifer Aniston are worth a mention while Charlie Day and his unique style steals the show. Colin Farrell was fantastic as well, in a comic avataar. All in all, the movie is for working friends who want to have a laughing jolly good time together planning to kill their bosses, taking advice from a 'murder consultant'. Horrible Bosses is a must watch!

A good movie to tickle your funny bone..! It should be called "The Boss's Life" . Extremely funny characters with a beautiful sarcasm. I did really enjoy the movie as well . Well done Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, Jason Sudeikis, Kevin Spacey & Jennifer Aniston..! All hats off you people..!
