Q: Is this movie worth the price of admission?
A:
Go! Of course you have to suspend disbelief during most parts of the beginning, middle, and end, didn't you read what it's about? The murderers are the good guys!Q: Will this movie make me laugh?
A: Lots of laughs. And speaking of Charlie Day, I've met more than one guy who has told me that if he could be anyone, he would be Charlie Day. With every Charlie Day movie (and episode of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia) that I see, I understand more and more why they love him, and less and less why they would want to be him.
Q: Will this movie make me cry?
A: I feel sad for Colin Farrell's career up until now. Why didn't he ever show us before that he can be really, really funny when ugly?
Q: Will this movie be up for any awards?
A: Best Shot of a Parking Lot... There are several shots of parking lots in this movie, so I'm pretty sure director, Seth Gordon, was shooting for that award.
Q: How is the Acting?
A: I read a snippet of a review that said that Jennifer Aniston was miscast in this role, but I disagree. I think the role of a nymphomaniac rapist is a nice stretch for her, and that anyone who can't accept her range is just too attached to her being Rachel all the time.
Q: How is the Directing?
A: Functional and utilitarian, except for the shot of the parking lot, which shows glimpses of genius.
Q: How is the story/script?
A: There are a lot of good one-liners, the characters feel fresh (except for Jason Bateman and Kevin Spacey, who have played those characters a lot of-- let's just say "every" time), and the story holds together well for a story that could only exist in nowhere.
Q: Is there anything else worth mentioning about the movie?
A: Rat Poison: I appreciate the wink to 9 to 5, one of my all time favorite movies.
Q: Where can I see the trailer?
A: Horrible Bosses Trailer
