Overview

For Nick, Kurt and Dale, the only thing that would make the daily grind more tolerable would be to grind their intolerable bosses into dust. Quitting is not an option, so, with the benefit of a few-too-many drinks and some dubious advice from a hustling ex-con, the three friends devise a convoluted and seemingly foolproof plan to rid themselves of their respective employers... permanently.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

Three trapped employees fantasize about eliminating their nightmare bosses, leading to an escalating comedy of errors that's more fun than it has any right to be. It's a raucous buddy comedy that runs on momentum, laughs, and the cathartic appeal of watching ordinary people attempt something wildly stupid.

Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, and Charlie Day are a dream comedic trio cast. Colin Farrell delivers the biggest laughs, and this was super unexpected from Jennifer Aniston at the time.

Even though it does give me a lot of laugh out loud moments, they aren't especially memorable. It has only been 24 hours, and it's already fading.
