Why do so many movies resort to turning themselves into feature length sitcoms? Horrible Bosses is the latest movie to follow that trend, about three frustrated workers who all decide that the best way to deal with their terrible bosses (Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Aniston, Colin Farrell) is to murder them. They enlist in a local hitman named Mothafucka Jones (Jamie Foxx) to help them work up schemes which will all end up blowing up in their own faces. It has a good premise which has the potential to be hillarious, so it's unfortunate when Horrible Bosses just...isn't that. There's about a handful of hillarious scenes from beginning to end but the rest of the gags just fall flat or are just flat-out embarassing (just about any scene with Jennifer Aniston, what a waste of her talent). The plot doesn't go anywhere so it gets old quick, several talented actors are underused (Kevin Spacey & Colin Farrell), and the movie just wears out its' welcome long before the credits begin to roll. And that is something I would definitely never put on my resume. NEXT.
2/4
