Horrible Bosses

Horrible Bosses

Horrible bosses and a horrible film. I once had a terrible boss and I know how it can upset every fiber of your body. It is no laughing matter.
Three good friends all work for terrible bosses. One boss is so autocratic and mean. One second late can have serious ramifications. One terrible boss kept promising promotions and then decided to take the position of VP himself.
Another terrible boss resulted when his wonderful father died and the son took over. The son was a drug taking monster of a boss. His only goal was to make enough money to get out of the business. He was immoral and didn’t care about the customers or employees. He wanted all the fat people and the handicapped staff to be fired. (This isn’t even remotely funny even in a comedy.)
The third friend was a dental assistant to an oversexed dentist played by Jennifer Aniston. She was constantly trying to seduce her assistant. (Even if front of an over gassed patient sitting in the dental chair.) She made him promise to have sex with her before his wedding. She calls him up while soaking in the bath and has phone sex. He was such a pathetic weak character that it was beyond silly and actually annoying to watch. He couldn’t leave his job because he was on a sex offenders list. He actually had only urinated in a child’s playground late at night. This story is so overplayed.
The three friends plot to kill their bosses. They do a lot of drinking in a bar and talking about getting the best of these horrible bosses. They meet an ex- con (Jamie Foxx) and try to convince him to kill their bosses. Of course everything goes wrong. The three friends are taken into jail as suspects.
I can understand the frustration of working for someone that is offensive and uncaring. It isn’t always possible to get a new job. Relying on a boss for a recommendation can be terrifying.
The concept was funny. It was just too over the top for me.
I don’t have high standards in the summer. I expect that the worst movies of the year will open in the summer. This film certainly proves the point.
