Horrible Bosses DVD and Blu-Ray Release Review

Horrible bosses is an excellent film and I have given it 4.5 stars.

This film is a highly entertaining comedy, laugh out loud funny all the way from start to finish. It is quite adult humour, very dark in places, but no less enjoyable for it.

The basic premise of the film is quite simple, three friends have bosses they hate but find themselves unable to quit their jobs, so they formulate a plan to kill each others bosses, thus solving the problem. However, as you can imagine this is not a simple as it appears.

Horrible bosses is directed by Seth Gordon (The King of Kong) and has a fantastic script and story-line, assisted by brilliant performances by all of the actors involved. This film contains plenty of big names, Jason Bateman (Juno, Arrested Development), Charlie Day (Going the Distance) and Jason Sudeikis (What Happens in Vegas, Hall Pass) as the three friends and Kevin Spacey (Usual suspects, K-PAX), Jennifer Anniston (Friends, Bruce Almighty) and Colin Farrell (In Bruges) as their respective bosses.

The only slight disappointment with this package would be the total lack of any kind of special features, however the film is good enough to make up for it.

Horrible bosses is well worth a watch, (several times probably, as I missed quite a bit of it the first time through laughing) and is ideal for a night in, in front of the telly. Highly recommended.

Horrible Bosses is available to buy now on DVD and Blu-ray.

Horrible Bosses - Even more new clips

Over the last couple of weeks we have seen some clips released. Now, as the film has hit UK cinemas we have been sent over a load more...

‘We Need To Trim The Fat’

‘What Are We Doing Here?’

‘Why Don't You...?’

‘You Call Your Grandmother Gam Gam?’

‘I Didn’t Make It In’

‘That’s A Lot Of Gas’

For Nick, Kurt and Dale, the only thing that would make the daily grind more tolerable would be to grind their intolerable bosses 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, 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.

Jason Bateman (“Couples Retreat”), Charlie Day (“Going the Distance”) and Jason Sudeikis (“Hall Pass”) star as the three hapless workers, with Jennifer Aniston (“He’s Just Not That Into You”), Colin Farrell (“Crazy Heart”) and two-time Oscar® winner Kevin Spacey (“American Beauty,” “The Usual Suspects”), as their unbearable bosses. Oscar® winner Jamie Foxx (“Ray”) stars as the plotters’ unlikely mentor, whose street cred is priced on a sliding scale. The main cast also includes veteran actor Donald Sutherland and Julie Bowen (TV’s “Modern Family”).

Horrible Bosses - First image

Once upon a time there were good actors with a glowing career ahead of them. Now comes a film with multiple Oscar winner in it. however with just reading the synopsis does make me feel that "an Oscar doesn't make a career in good films". In their day any one of four of the cast would be enough to draw in massive box office but that was five to ten years ago. Now they have all come together in the ensemble comedy, Horrid Bosses.

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.
