The Horrible Bosses Weekend Quickie.
I had the same feeling going into Horrible Bosses that I think you would have babysitting a two year old. This kid is either going to be awesome and fun to hang out with or a tiny little asshole that screams at you and shits all over the place. Every single thing about this movie – from the cast to the director to the plot – sounded like it would either be incredible or absolutely terrible. For instance, which Jason Bateman will show up? Awesome Michael Bluth or the shitty guy from ‘The Switch?’ All I knew was that there was no possible way this movie would be good enough to make you laugh a lot but not good enough to particularly want to see again. We live in a black and white world. Grey areas, like races that aren’t black or white, just don’t exist. Unfortunately for me, Horrible Bosses then took everything I knew about this mortal coil and shattered it by being a solid B+. It was funny, all the actors who could have been annoying weren’t, and Jennifer Aniston is finally getting desperate enough to act slutty on-screen. It wasn’t amazing and people won’t be annoyingly quoting it for the next five years, but it wasn’t terrible either. And sometimes that’s enough. I give horrible bosses three stars and a bonus gold star for behaving itself. The gold star doesn’t count towards its rating though. Gold stars are kind of just a morale thing, so…still three stars.
