    • Trivia
      To promote this film, Warner Brothers Pictures Canada set up a 12-foot voodoo doll resembling a corporate boss in downtown Montreal. People were given the chance to vent their office frustrations on the doll by stabbing and hitting it with large needles. They were also encouraged to share their best or worst boss story for the chance of winning passes to an advance screening of the film.
    • Goofs
      Detectives would never question three murder suspects together. They would be interviewed individually to see if their stories are consistent.
    • Quotes

      Detective Hagan: Do you want to explain why you were doing 61 in a 25 zone? One block from the victim's house. Just moments after he got shot dead.

      Nick Hendricks: I was drag-racing. I'm a drag-racer.

      Detective Samson: You were drag-racing.

      Nick Hendricks: [nods]

      Detective Samson: In a Prius.

      Nick Hendricks: I don't win a lot.

    Horrible Bosses
    Horrible Bosses is a black comedy that is wild and crazy, yet not too far fetched, but most of all its darkly hillarious . Sure, the jokes dont always land and can be subject to a lot of unoriginal material, and a few times the film breifly slips into some generic tropes, plus the fibut overall, the film's insane yet somehow believable plot, takes full control, as the viewer is hit with such memorable characters and dialogue sequences, that make you wanna watch this film over and over again. Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Colin Farrell, Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Aniston, and Jaime Foxx all give their special talents to the film, as Horrible Bosses, delivers a dark and hilarious viewing. Although, Charlie Day is annoying.
