Horrible Bosses July 16th, 2011
I didn't want to see this movie but my friends, Lisa and George, talked me into it and I am glad they did.
Why didn't I want to see this? I hate Colin Farrell, despise Kevin Spacey and loathe Jennifer Aniston. The good thing is that they all play characters that make it okay to hate them.
Kevin Spacey plays a horrible boss and his role in this movie may have undermined his assistant's chance to publish a Devil Wears Prada type memoir.
Colin Farrell, with the help of prosthetics, shows us what he looks like on the inside.
Jennifer Aniston's eyes sparkle as she gets to play the BAD girl boss. (BAD does really need to be capitalized as she plays to her demented Playboy Bunny side.) I am not sure if her face was Botoxed or prosthetics, I'm hoping for her sake that it was all prosthetics, the plastic Barbie Doll face is not a good look. On anyone.
I have been a fan of Charlie Day since the first episode of 'It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia' and he is his bumbling, yet likeable self in this movie.
The trio of Jason Sudekis, Jason Bateman and Charlie Day was casting genius. They work well together and get easy laughs and not all of them were wasted on the heavy promotion this film got leading up to it's release.
The hidden gem for me was Gregory, played by Brian George, the voice of the knock-off OnStar rep. This guy's been around forever and if you listen close you'll realize who he is.
And rounding up the main cast is Jamie Foxx, another person not on the top of my list, playing the type of hit man that I would probably end up with if I ever felt that I needed outside help.
