Another week, another R-Rated Hollywood comedy which fails to exploit it's cast, it's premise or it's licence to shock certificate. This time it's Horrible Bosses where Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis hate their bosses Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell and Jennifer Aniston, and conspire with criminal Jamie Foxx to kill them. Theoretically hilarity should ensure but a lackluster script and an unwillingness to push this broad comedy into blacker humoured waters means the film never rises above the level of 'average'.
The cast are all fine, especially Spacey, Aniston and Farrall who get to deliver broad characatures, but it's not consistant or strong enough to impress to any great degree.
