Day 203: "So my boss, who we're planning to kill, is dying in front of you and you save his life?"

Office Space is one of the funniest movies about work that I have ever seen.  Now, having said that, Horrible Bosses blows it out of the water.  While Office Space revolved around one business and its, shall we say, idiosyncrasies, Horrible Bosses takes a look at three workplace "relationships" and asks the audience the question,"How bad does it have to get before you're willing to actually kill your boss?"  According to this movie, the line is pretty far out there.  One boss is a complete psychopath, another is the priveliged, drug addled son of the company owner, and the third is a sex crazed, absolutely inappropriate, human resources nightmare.  The "victims" of these awful people begin talking hypothetically about how to kill them, then decide to movei to the action phase after each suffers one last, ultimate, humiliating experience at the hands of their tormentors.  I haven't laughed this hard (intentionally)at a movie in a long time.  The story goes completely pear shaped after we discover that one of the "heroes" is an idiot, but the laughs just keep going.

Starring Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, and Charlie Day as the poor working class schmucks, these guys have the same kind of on-screen chemistry that I last saw in The Hangover.  Bateman's performance as the ultimate straight man was, in particular, my favorite.  The bosses are played by Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Aniston, and Colin Farrell.  Farrell is almost unrecognizable in his role, but you'll still hate him just the same.  Jennifer Aniston....let's just say this is as close to full on sex scenes as you're likely to get from her, and damn are they disturbing.  Rachel Green this ain't.

If you liked Office Space or The Hangover, you'll most likey enjoy Horrible Bosses.  Make sure you put your brain on "pause" before watching it, though; the plot does spiral quickly towards the unbelievable.  I really enjoyed this, but i'm a sucker for crude humor and disgruntled workplace jokes.  F-bombs and toilet humor run rampant here, so put the kids to bed first.  8.5/10.

See you tomorrow, and GO WATCH A MOVIE!!
