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… More

Critic Reviews

  • David Jenkins, Time Out

    Gordon knows what works and what doesn't, pushing the leads' chummy chemistry to the fore while allowing the schematic and, frankly, highly unlikely murder plot to sink into the background.

  • Richard Brody, New Yorker

    The movie's main thrust is lowball wish fulfillment, which comes too cheaply.

  • Sam Adams, Los Angeles Times

    A lot of low-stakes humor, occasionally brought off by a mostly ingratiating cast.

  • James Berardinelli, ReelViews

    For something like Horrible Bosses to sparkle, the actors have to shine... and shine they do.

  • Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor

    The coarseness wouldn't be so bad if at least the steady stream of obscenities were funny. But there is, after all, an art to talking dirty.

    Funny movie about three best buddies who hate their bosses. Like strangers on a train, they plot to kill each other's bosses. It's a bit off the wall like the Hangover. Good plot and cast. Funniest scenes are with Kevin Spacey. Strong language. Jennifer looks great but… More

    A really enjoyable story about what most people have thought about at some point in their lives. Great characters, great actors and a fantastic plot. Highly recommended.

  • Samuel R


    The main focuses are the bosses played by Kevin Spacey and Jennifer Aniston. While Spacey portays a twisted yet powerful man, Aniston is a seductive and crazy dentist. Although people complain about it having so many cliches, to be honest, its difficult to make a film with no cliches… More
