Horrible Bosses
I'm surprised there isn't a thread yet for this, considering it's being released in theaters this Friday.

It's a comedy about three friends who conspire to murder their awful bosses when they realize they are standing in the way of their happiness. The three friends are played by Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, and Charlie Day (my favorite cast member from the TV show It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia). The three bosses are played by Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell, and Jennifer Aniston (based on the trailers, Aniston seems to be a great example of against-type casting). Cameo bits also come from Jamie Foxx, Donald Sutherland and Bob Newhart.

Here's the trailer for those of you who haven't seen it:

YouTube - ‪Horrible Bosses - Official Trailer [HD]‬‏

Early screening reviews are saying that this film is possibly going to be the breakout comedy of the summer and that every single actor involved brings their A-game in this one.

I want to see it, but I honestly don't have high hopes. I am not entirely sure why.

Ditto. Something about too many actors/comedians I love on one project bums me out.

It tends to feel give me the same vibe as when a television show randomly has a nobody-knows-us band play a song in a location they never use on the show. Like, "Okay? But what did that have to do with the mob/vampires/lawyers/etc.?"

Movie seems okay. Only reason to watch this is Charlie Day.

Because Jason Bateman is awful in everything since Arrested Development and Jennifer Anniston is just awful? That's why I don't.

Don't know if anyone's actually gone and seen this but I did and it is pretty funny. Pretty much exactly what you think it's going to be. I will say that I kept waiting for that one line that just breaks everyone in the theater up and it didn't happen, at least for me.

I've heard a lot of "IT WAS AWESOME!" but one "It was trying way too hard" from someone I usually agree with. Hm.

Saw it the other night. It was alright. The jokes that they made were funny, but there just weren't enough of them. And as someone else said it lacked that one laugh that makes you keel over.

It was trying too hard. Still funny, but maybe go on cheap night
