THE REVIEW:
When I first saw the trailer for this film I thought it was a good story idea to run with because alot of people will be able to relate to it. There are lots of people in the real world that hate their bosses so watching this crime drama with added comedy sounds like a treat as long as it’s funny and does not drag on for too long. its sort of like watching others do something you have already re enacted in your mind about your Horrible Boss, (if you have one) but on screen and laughing about it at the same time. #WinWinSituation.
After watching this film I was happy on how hilarious it was, this is a very watchable movie that will have you laughing from the start to finish. The mix of humour is very entertaining. It’s sexual, racist and odd at times. There are funny bits you don’t see coming which makes it even funnier. As for the storyline I think more writers are starting to use the same Hangover style formula of getting lots of different funny in their own way type characters. They are all just as crazy as each other in the group because they act out some outrageous ideas (I don't blame them because it works). The story surprises because nobody expect it to take the turns it does. It does starts off good but then you realise after all the laughter that you know how it is all going to end about half way through (well you think you know). As long as you just want to laugh at these silly men with crazy ideas & antics then it’s a good watch. Worth a visit to the cinema. #GoodEntertainment.
Out of the 3 front men (even though they were all brilliant) I’m going to have to give the #StarOfTheShow award to Charlie Day as Dale Arbus because he was very funny and also a strange man who wouldn’t have sex with a very attractive woman (even if she was a man-eater literally). Kevin Spacey was a psycho as Dave Harken and at the same time a bad ass if you ask me (I salute your character sir). I was very impressed with Jennifer Aniston’s character (Dr Julia Harris) because she is this crazy sex fuelled woman who is literally horny 24/7. In most films Mrs Aniston’s characters is usually PG rated but this one really showed her crazy, sexy & wild side (i don't think I would mind working for her office). Jamie Foxx’s character Dean “Motherfu**er Jones” was a very funny and enjoyable to watch. Colin Farrell as Bobby Pellitt was also executed very well. The all-star cast pulled off great performances.
OVERALL: Hilarious.
STAR RATINGS OUT OF 5: 3.8
ONE FAVOURITE MOMENT IN THE FILM:
The scene in the bar when a man walks up to the trio and says what he will do for some money because of poverty.
(if you loved another moment in the film, please feel free to share it with us in the comments)
TRAILER:
It's not very tightly plotted or precisely scripted but the three leads have lots of obvious camaraderie and energy together - confirmed in a bloopers reel after the end credits - which help to keep the film moving along. Good Review!
