Horrible Bosses
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.
Critics Sentiment
Three friends over drinks decide to kill their bosses
Dale saves Harken with EpiPen after allergic reaction
Sharp drop from the engaging murder plot premise to the contrived EpiPen sequence that many critics found overly slapsticky.
Horrible Bosses maintains solid comedic momentum throughout most of its runtime, with critics consistently praising the fresh premise, strong ensemble chemistry, and standout performances from Kevin Spacey and Jennifer Aniston. The film peaks early with its central murder plot concept before experiencing some mid-film lulls due to contrived plotting, but recovers with clever twists and a satisfying resolution that ties together its various threads.
