First things first: I'm biased against comedies. I don't really like to watch a show that exists purely to make me laugh. Considering that, it shouldn't be surprising that I find most comedies meaningless. But not this one.
Now, what makes Horrible Bosses an acceptably good comedy? It's got a semi-plausible storyline with characters that people can sorta relate to. That is, three of the worst sorts of bosses anyone is likely to meet, and three very unhappy fellas who would love to have them killed. In fact, that's precisely what they strive to. Along the way, they get into the most hilarious situations that routinely come right back to bite them in their asses, and that only serves to add to the enjoyment.
Right, and here's a spoiler: There's no Hollywoodized romance in this flick. BOOYEAH! Of course, given the synopses most people have already likely read by now, they might wonder just why that would be...
I'd say this movie deserves a 8.5/10. High. Especially for a comedy. But is it worth it? Well for me I'd say this is a movie I'd actually pay to watch. The witty dialog and the politically correct (and grossly incorrect) situations make for a truly enjoyable movie experience. Watch. It. Now.
