'Horrible Bosses' Trailer: Vicariously Exact Workplace Revenge on the Rapist Jennifer Aniston in Your Life

9 to 5's trio-committing-a-boss-kidnapping premise is taken to its natural next level when comedy everymen Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, and Charlie Day all decide, simultaneously, they should team up and murder each of their title bosses and just hope the cops never put together that three best friends all had their superiors die within the same few days. The reason these bosses are so horrible? Greasy dirtbag Colin Farrell keeps insisting Sudeikis create a workplace of only the most able-bodied, forcing him to fire the overweight and disabled; Kevin Spacey won't stop reprising his character from Swimming with Sharks for some reason; and Jennifer Aniston eyeballs Charlie Day's junk and photographs simulated sex with him when he's knocked out on anesthesia, which doesn't really seem all that bad except that I guess the guy's engaged or something, so whatever, might as well off her too.

Well, as is typical when your murderous intent is worked out at a bar, with only the aid of a scalp-tattooed Jamie Foxx and alcohol, things don't go exactly according to plan for these guys, and therein we find all the laughs that make team serial killing seem like sort of a fun way to bond with friends and get ahead at work.

I'm not even a big Jennifer Aniston fan, but I'll tell you, that all-phallus diet is doing her alright.

    As The Hangover, Part II has shown us all, it's completely reasonable for a trio of friends to commit the same rote, drunken buffoonery over and over again for as long as sequels remain profitable. So it only makes sense that, with Horrible Bosses pulling in over $200 million w... / Continue →
