I tuned out all news about Horrible Bosses once Jennifer Aniston joined the cast. So, color me surprised that it’s plot doesn’t revolve around a neurotic lady looking for Mr. Right.
Well, ok, that is part of the plot. (And Aniston, don’t think you score any points with me by “laughing” at your tabloid persona.) But I had no idea Horrible Bosses was so dark and violent, or that Colin Farrell was going to sport such an epic comb-over.
The trailer premiered on Apple today, and it’s actually quite good. But I did spend my entire afternoon screaming at my email inbox, so perhaps I was just in a sweet spot for it.
Forget the rest of summer blockbusters, forget romantic comedies. This movie may be the ultimate in wish fulfillment. Which probably means it won’t work. Do you really want to see someone else off their boss, while you’re still stuck with yours? Can that be funny over two hours? I hope so. I could live vicariously through someone else on this..and maybe learn from their mistakes…
And if you prefer to watch it without the beauty of Quicktime, I found a nice YouTube version on Slashfilm.

Okay, that actually looks pretty hilarious.
Oh good, it isn’t just the pits of my despair!
What is it that makes ladies get all catty about Jennifer Aniston? She’s less terrible than many actresses working today.
I am glad Sudekis and Day are getting movie work, but this just looks horrible. They will try to kill the bosses but the bosses won’t get killed, and this will lead to no revelations about their lives. Whoopidy Doo. Seriously, this looks terrible.
Are you implying all women are jealous of Jennifer Aniston? It seems like you are.
Because her entire post-Friends career is built on her divorce from Brad Pitt, and rehashing those “not cool, Angelina” quotes whenever she has a new movie to flog.
I will grant you that Katherine Heigl, Ginnifer Goodwin, and Kate Hudson are equally guilty of the bad rom-coms and shockingly shallow publicity games, but Aniston takes it to a unique “crazy cat lady” level.
This looks hilarious. Cast is gangbusters and I’ve been looking forward to a trailer, and it’s paid off.
Looks like fun. I’m down.
Holy shit that is an amazing combover on Colin Ferrell’s head.
Bunk is in this, so that makes it automatically great.
I thought it was based on being approachably cute and mildly funny, with just a bit of a sardonic tinge. If she is bitter about her divorce, what does that really have to do with her onscreen performance?
I don’t know… I’d let Aniston have her way with me… sounds like a fun day at work
I thought all that stuff only existed in the pages of supermarket magazines, which I place several rungs below The Onion in the reliable-news-source pecking order.
Also, I thought she was fantastic in The Good Girl.
