Horrible Bosses

Happy new year! It has been an awful long time since I posted anything but I've been quite busy with uni, Xmas, New Year and getting a puppy!

Horrible Bosses is a film I've been wanting to catch for a while. It looked good from the trailers and since Anison is one of my favourite actresses (yes, I know she's hardly Hopkins but I've liked her since Friends so shhhh :P)

There isn't much to say about this film, it was enjoyable and had a few funny moments, a couple were laugh-out-loud moments too. Three friends are plagued by their awful bosses, one is a tyrant who likes nothing more than belittling his staff, the other is a coke-head hell bent on squeezing every cent out of his late father's chemical company and the third (Aniston) is a complete nympho who crossed the line of sexual harassment long, long ago.

Fed up with their jobs and unable to find another position they drunkenly decide that hiring a hitman and killing them is their only option. Sober, the idea evolves to see them entering a shady bar in the rough end of town and meeting 'motherf*cker Jones' (so called as he stole money from his mother - just to clarify!) who diddles them for $5k to become their 'murder consultant'.

During plans to commit the murders themselves (by each murdering someone else's boss) they get caught in a tangled web of silly mistakes which eventually ends up working in their favour without anyone killing anyone else...much.

Hardly an edge of the seat experience, but those are rare for me these days at the best of times. I'd definitely recommend it for Sunday afternoon viewing as it suits most (bar young children of course).

6.9/10
