Nick Hendricks (Jason Bateman), Dale Arbus (Charlie Day) and Kurt Buckman (Jason Sudeikis) have been friends for a long time and they usually have happy hour together. Nick is an ambitious employer that has been working for eight years in the same company and expects to be promoted to Sales Vice President by his boss Dave Harken (Kevin Spacey). Dale is a dental assistant that expects to marry his beloved fiancée; however, he is sexually harassed by his boss, Dr. Julia Harris, D.D.S. (Jennifer Aniston). The womanizer Kurt and his boss Jack Pellit (Donald Sutherland) are great friends and he will be assigned to be the manager of the family business where he works; however, Jack has a heart attack and dies and his cocaine addicted son Bobby Pellitt (Colin Farrell) assumes the company and he and Kurt hate each other.
One day, the three friends are drinking beer and talking to each other their problems with their bosses and they conclude that they can not quit their jobs due to the economical crisis. However, they decide to plot a scheme to get rid off their bosses. Nick, Dale and Kurt seek out a hit-man to kill their bosses in a dangerous neighborhood and they get in trouble with the police.
"Horrible Bosses" is a silly comedy that occasionally makes the viewer laugh. Kurt and Dale are complete imbeciles and not funny. The beautiful and sexy Jennifer Aniston is miscast since I can not imagine any man (with the exception of Brad Pitt) that could resist to her harassment. Julia Hams should be an actress not hot like Jennifer Aniston.
Kevin Spacey, Jamie Foxx, the unrecognizable Colin Farrell, Jason Bateman and Jennifer Aniston are responsible for the funniest moments of this uneven comedy. The jokes with "Strangers on a Train", "Throw Momma from the Train" and "Snow Falling on Cedars" are also funny. My vote is six.
Title (Brazil): "Quero Matar Meu Chefe" ("I Want to Kill My Boss")
