Funny, inventive, quirky, and foul-mouthed raunchy, "Horrible Bosses" is a welcome adult comedy in the post-Apatow tradition. Chocked full of fine comedic turns by a truly stellar cast, it's also a showcase for actors you wouldn't expect to see together. The story follows three buddies, played in low key by Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jason Sudeikis, who suffer daily from over-the-top horrible bosses. And the bosses, all certifiable, are played to the hilt by Jennifer Aniston as a sexually voracious dentist, Kevin Spacey as a castrating corporate megalomaniac, and an unrecognizable Colin Farrell as a comb-over playboy cokehead. Trapped by circumstances, including the economy and other pressures, the trio decide that murder is their only way out. What happens when these white bread brothers embark on a criminal plot is embarrassingly hysterical. It's great fun and rated R for good reason.Friday, July 8, 2011
