Fresh Spin On This Comedy

Warning: Spoilers
When I heard about Horrible Bosses, I couldn't help but think that this was a fresh spin of another successful comedy of the early 80s, 9 to 5 starring three women, Dolly Parton, Lilly Tomlin and Jane Fonda.

Instead of three women who have one evil boss, we have three men who each have a horrible boss. Ultimately they decide their lives would be better if their bosses were dead. Unfortunately these three guys have no clue as to kill their bosses and this is where the comedy ensues. Watching these buffoons go from hiring a hit man to attempting re-con in order to do the deed themselves is hilarious. I particularly enjoyed the above camera shot in the parking lot where these fools couldn't even figure out which car had the right of way.

Kevin Spacey was brilliant as Jason Bateman's evil boss. Jennifer Aniston was absolutely hot as a sexy dentist boss who enjoys overstepping boundaries. Colin Ferrel rounded out the boss cast.

There really are not many movies like this one, so this film was something new and fresh. I certainly would recommend this film. Rating 7 of 10 stars.
