Clearly trying to capture the same vibe as The Hangover, Horrible Bosses places three metro-sexual archetypes in a completely outrageous situation and hilarity ensues. Well that's the plan anyway but the movie as a whole falls flat. The premise doesn't mesh mainly due to a lack of balance. These bosses make life difficult for our three heroes so....they should be murdered? I hear that gear box grinding noise in my head just thinking about it. The jokes and gags inhabit that fringe area where they are ALMOST funny but aren't and you want to laugh out of sympathy if nothing else but don't. Kevin Spacey phones it in, Justin Bateman plays the only role he ever plays...Justin Bateman, and poor Jennifer Aniston...taking crap roles like this are no way to jump start that movie career she should have had.
