Horrible Bosses

2011 · 98 min

A silly, fast-moving farce about awful workplaces that keeps you laughing at the characters' escalating bad decisions.

Tagline: Ever wish your boss was dead?
Overview: 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.
How it feels: Satirical, dark, absurd and cynical. Brisk and easy to follow.
About: Work, friendship, revenge, corruption
Content: Strong sexual content and language. Mild violence and gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
