"Horrible Bosses" wasn't by any means horrible....

With a great cast like this how can one pass this up? Ok, I did see the trailer and it didn't look 'that' appealing. So, I made up my mind that I wasn't going to go out of my way to see this film. Then I received a free movie pre screening pass and I didn't have anything going on in the evening and I'm just a movie junkie.
What makes this movie work is because it's so relatable. Everyone has been there at least once or for you unlucky ones, currently. The jokes are standard fair, which had me smile but could never quite get me to laugh out loud. Of course, there are a couple scenes in which I did. Smiling through the duration of the film isn't necessarily a bad thing. The film isn't close to clever and was pretty predictable throughout. You can tell that the studio execs saw the success of "Hangover" and wanted to replicate that. If you enjoyed "Hangover" I believe you'd love this. Besides the giant plot hole (see: cell phone), this is a decent comedy to check out. Since I'm a cynical a$$hole, I would deem this a renter. Overall Grade: B-
