MOVIE REVIEW: We made Rev. Adam see “Horrible Bosses”

FILM REVIEWS LIVE FROM TACOMA  >>>

I was going to start this review of Horrible Bosses by stating that the movie's main problem is that the titular bosses are too cartoonishly awful.

Then, I thought about whether the notion of the film's heroes becoming so exasperated that murdering these bosses is their only option would be even the slightest bit believable if they weren't so over-the-top awful.

Then I realized: the real problem with Horrible Bosses is that the heroes are too dumb for us to sympathize with them. In a dark comedy like this, where we're supposed to side with our everyman protagonists in the face of a staggering goal, this becomes a more and more difficult task with each dumb action or statement made by the inept main characters.

With the cast of Horrible Bosses I was pretty interested in seeing this movie in the theaters. Somehow I missed it, but now after reading your review I’m kind of wondering if that wasn’t a good thing that I waited for rental. So I just put it in my Blockbuster Movie Pass queue which is great because Blockbuster has it about a month earlier than Netflix. The ability to take a disc in for an in-store exchange is great too, I don’t really feel like there’s any risk to giving movies a try. It’s a very cost effective way of renting movies, games and it has a ton of instant streaming too. Oh yeah, and as DISH Network employee I’m also happy to tell people that when they sign up for DISH now they can get Blockbuster Movie Pass free for 12 months.
