    Storyline

    Edit

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Colin Farrell was heavily involved in the look of his character. The comb-over and prosthetic stomach were his idea. He also decided his character would have an obsession with Chinese dragons, and he took part in developing the design for Bobby's apartment.
    • Goofs
      Detectives would never question three murder suspects together. They would be interviewed individually to see if their stories are consistent.
    • Quotes

      Detective Hagan: Do you want to explain why you were doing 61 in a 25 zone? One block from the victim's house. Just moments after he got shot dead.

      Nick Hendricks: I was drag-racing. I'm a drag-racer.

      Detective Samson: You were drag-racing.

      Nick Hendricks: [nods]

      Detective Samson: In a Prius.

      Nick Hendricks: I don't win a lot.

    Great twisted comedy

    Horrible Bosses is a great comedy that doesn't waste it's really good central premise thanks to a really strong central trio and a truly twisted sense of humour that hits way more than it misses.

    Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day are all fantastic with impressive chemistry, able to bounce off each other consistently. Colin Farrell and Jennifer Aniston are both perfect at being truly horrible bosses.

    Seth Gordon's direction is good, competently shot with a nice pace which keeps the jokes and energy going across its relatively short run time. The soundtrack is a lot of fun, interspersed well and fitting the twisted tone really well.
