Horrible Bosses Review Thread (Use Spoiler Tags)

[Lord_Stewie]

Hey,

Saturday Night Live’s Jason Sudeikis has been added to the cast of Seth Gordon’s Horrible Bosses, a dark, in-the-workplace comedy. For anyone unfamiliar with Sudeikis’ body of work, he’s currently SNL’s resident straight man, filling the void left by Chris Parnell. According to THR, “Sudeikis will join Jason Bateman and Charlie Day as a trio of friends who conspire to murder each others’ bosses. Jennifer Aniston and Colin Farrell are two of the offending office tyrants, while Jamie Foxx is a colorfully named scam artist who dishes killing advice to the three regular guys.”

While Bosses is not Jason Sudeikis’ first movie, (He also starred in The Rocker and The Bounty Hunter) if the cast is any indication, it may turn out to be his most successful. If your Sudeikis-lust can’t be held off until Bosses speculative release in the Summer of 2011, fear not. There will be no shortage of Sudeikis movies, in the foreseeable future as the man has also just finished up The Farrelly Brothers’ Hall Pass co-starring Owen Wilson (Marmaduke). Additionally, Sudeikis has a role in the newest Drew Barrymore rom-com, Going the Distance.

Enjoy.

Horrible Bosses (July 8), starring Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day as three friends who are being treated so badly by their bosses they plot to kill them. This one really looks like it could be this year's "Hangover" or Wedding Crashers, because every single person at one time in their life has had that boss, the one you want to kill, and seeing this movie will offer the type of catharsis that almost guarantees this will be another blockbuster R-rated comedy for Warner Bros/New Line.

The trailer begins as we first meet Jason Bateman's Nick, a white collar worker, and his boss, played by Kevin Spacey, who offers him a drink. Nick protests that it's only 8:15 in the morning to which his boss says that it's very expensive scotch and if he wants a promotion, he should be a team player so Bateman tries to chug the large glass of scotch, most of it spilling on him. His boss then tells everyone in the office that Nick has a drinking problem, and when his boss comes out to announce who he will give the promotion to the job opening of VP of Sales, he says he has decided to give the job to himself. When Bateman protests, his boss cites the drinking as why he didn't get it.

Jason Sudeikis plays Kurt and his loathsome boss Bobby is played by Colin Farrell, completely unrecognizable with a beard, a horrifying comb-over and a beer gut! His boss is commanding him to all the fat people in the office as well as a guy in a wheelchair he refers to as "Professor X."

Charlie Day from "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" plays Dale, a dentist assistant to Jennifer Aniston's Dr. Julia Harris, who is quite striking with dark hair rather than the trademark 'do she made famous in the '90s,' and she is constantly hitting on him. While she's working on someone's teeth, she squirts water at Charlie's crotch and makes a comment about being able to tell that he's circumcised. He doesn't want to have anything to do with it, because he tells her that he's engaged to his girlfriend, but his boss then shows him suggestive pictures of them together she took while he had been knocked out.

The three guys realize the only way to rid themselves of their problem is to get rid of their bosses so they look for a hitman. Their first attempt is a dapper looking man who they find in the newspaper, claiming to do "wetwork," which it turns out means that he urinates on other men, something which should have been obvious since they found him in the "men seeking men" section. They then go into a bar asking if the bartender knows anyone who can take care of their problems and he points out Jamie Foxx's character who tells him his name is "Motherf*cker Jones." After talking with him, they try to do the job themselves with Charlie Day attacking Kevin Spacey and failing, so the other guys lock him out of the car. In another scene, the three guys are outside Dale's boss' house looking into her window as we see Aniston in bra and panties posing for them while eating things like bananas, hot dogs and other things suggestively. Sudeikis notes that it can't possibly be a proper balanced meal, but he still would do her.

There's a lot more gags and we probably haven't done the trailer justice, but honestly, this is one of the funniest trailers we've seen since that first "Hangover" one and most of the funniest moments seem to go to Day who really kills it in his second pairing with Sudeikis after last year's Going the Distance. We expect what we saw to be toned down for a theatrical trailer, which hopefully will come out soon, but it's the type of Red Band trailer that should quickly go viral.

Same for me. It sounds like it could be great. I thought Sudeikis was great in Hall Pass and I look forward to seeing Colin Farrell doing comedy.
