Horrible Bosses

Horrible Bosses (2011) starring Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Charlie Day, Jennifer Aniston, Colin Farrell, Kevin Spacey. Three schmucks (Bateman, Sudeikis and Day) scheme to escape their horrible jobs by eliminating their horrible bosses (Aniston, Farrell and Spacey). Promising premise doesn't really turn out to be very funny, as the chemistry among the three miserable employees falls flat time and again. This problem could be due to a weak script. Also, Charlie Day, who plays one of the schmucks, has a screeching voice that is like fingernails on a blackboard. I really wasn't cheering for him to win. The movie has subtitles in English for the hearing impaired, but no closed captions. Grade: C+
