Pass the Popcorn: Horrible Bosses

Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, and that dude from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia decide that instead of looking for new jobs, it would be easier to just kill their Horrible Bosses. I had a really hard time accepting the premise of this outlandish comedy at first. For some reason the main character's reasoning seemed so extreme that I couldn't allow myself to get on board with it. Instead, it just stressed me out. But once the second act starting gaining traction, I was able to let go of my hesitations and start appreciating the comedic performances.

Charlie Day, the dude from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, doesn't venture too far from the character we see on TV, but since he's the only one who yell-acts the whole movie, it actually works. And Jennifer Aniston proves, once again, that she is still super sexy and funny. The over-the-top performances from Colin Farrell and Kevin Spacey also balance out Bateman's subtle antics.

While Horrible Bosses got largely overlooked this summer, it's still worth renting if you're looking for a comedy full of poor decision making, a couple of crude jokes, and a that would never happen ending. I laughed out loud more than expected.
