Three frustrated dudes decide to take a page out of
Alfred Hitchcock's murder handbook and take out each other's bosses. Justification?
Nick's (
Jason Bateman) boss
Dave (
Kevin Spacey) overworks him and steals his promotion.
Kurt (
Jason Sudeikis from
Going the Distance) has to endure the authority of his belated boss's son
Bobby (
Colin Farrell), who does coke and discriminates against everyone, even the handicapped. And
Dale (
Charlie Day from "
It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia") is sexually harassed and blackmailed by his insatiable and often naked boss
Julia (
Jennifer Aniston).
As you can imagine, stupidity ensues given that they're not professional murderers and they can't even successfully hire an assassin consultant.
Day shines the most, but mainly because at this point audiences are accustomed to
Bateman and
SNL alum
Sudeikis cracking them up. His frantic squirrel routine with a voice that sounds like a cross between
Bobcat Goldthwait and
Al Pacino make for a pretty hilarious spectacle. He'll usurp
Zach Galifianakis as the go-to sidekick this year.
Ultimately, if you loved the male bonding hi-jinks of
The Hangover and the workplace bashing of
Office Space, you'll love this.
