Horrible Bosses

Well...it definitely wasn't horrible. I am at a loss actually on how to evaluate this film exactly. I'm not 100% positive how I feel about it. It was funny. It was hilarious in some parts, actually. In other parts, I'm not so sure. I think it might have been over-done in certain areas, and under-done in others. Before I begin rambling, let me get to what I know for sure...

I know absolutely that no one has ever seen this side of Jennifer Aniston. She's darker, and she is absurdly sexy. I would like to emphasize the word absurd to describe both her physically and verbally explicit character in this film. She plays a crude, unbelievably raunchy, over-sexed dentist that is lusting so deeply for one of her engaged employees, she even threatens to go as far as breaking up his relationship, if he doesn't have sex with her. Sounds contradictory and kind of crazy, right? Aniston completely owned this role. It is so far removed from the typical roles she plays and because of that, she is more than a pleasure to watch. She will shock you.

Now, for the difficult part. As I said earlier, parts of this movie are absolutely hilarious. It is really difficult to go terribly wrong with a movie starring comedian veterans like Jason Bateman and Jason Sudeikis. However, I can say that other parts of the movie are a little flat. The best way I can evaluate it will be to compare it to comedies I have recently written about. I would say that for overall execution, it is better than Bad Teacher, but I do not think it comes close to measuring up to Bridesmaids. The concept of the movie is great. At a point in everyone's life, we end up working for someone we cannot stand. The script, and comedic execution in parts of the film are just so-so. In others, it's fantastic. I would say if nothing else, go see it for Jennifer Aniston. As for the rest of the film, I'll let you make that judgement. In fact, I encourage you to see it because I want to hear back from you. Go see it, tell me what you think, and help me take a stance on how I really feel about this movie!
