Nick Hendricks (Jason Bateman), Dale Arbus (Charlie Day) and Kurt
Buckman (Jason Sudeikis) are best friends who are all employed but
who have horrible bosses. Two of the bosses are just plain
insensitive jerks who want all the power to themselves. A
third boss is a woman dentist who is blackmailing her underling
dental assistant into sleeping with her or she will make trouble for
him and his fiancee. One day, after all three have experienced rock
bottom events at their workplaces, they decide to plot to kill their
bosses. The plot doesn't go as smoothly as they would like and
massive hijinks ensue. The movie is funny only for those
people who think that killing is funny. For others, it's just
not. Two stars.
This movie is rated "iffy" because it has 11 scenes of violence or
