- For Nick (Jason Bateman), Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) and Dale (Charlie Day), the only thing that would make the daily grind more tolerable would be to grind their intolerable bosses (Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell, Jennifer Aniston) into dust. Quitting is not an option, so, with the benefit of a few-too-many drinks and some dubious advice from a hustling ex-con (Jamie Foxx), the three friends devise a convoluted and seemingly foolproof plan to rid themselves of their respective employers...permanently. There's only one problem: even the best laid plans are only as foolproof as the brains behind them.
- Finally!!!! Although the other highly anticipated summer comedies have failed for the most part to live up the laugh expectations based on the trailers, this one definitely comes through the most. The trio of guys are very funny - especially Charlie Day. I pray to god that this guy will get recognized for his level of comedy after this one. The scene where he is singing "That's Not My Name" in the car had me peeing my pants. They all played so phenomenally well off of each other. Then, the three bosses were all great (can it be that I have actually enjoyed Jennifer Aniston in 2 straight movies!?!) and so was Jamie Foxx. His character's name alone might be my favorite part of this movie. And it's not like the premise of the movie is not something that all of us can identify with on a certain level. That alone makes it funny but the performances and banter make it hilarious.
- I definitely recommend this movie. It's a very funny comedy and definitely the one I've been waiting for all summer.
