Horrible Bosses

Sometimes when you walk into a theater with no expectations, you can walk out pleasantly surprised.

Don't get me wrong, I'm still going to bitch about the flaws in this film, because it really was heavily flawed.  It's just that the movie itself did a good enough job at being fun to watch and not shitty that I was able to ignore all the dumb and actually have fun for two hours.

If you have managed to avoid the previews for Horrible Bosses and have absolutely no idea what it's about, I will sum it up for you, theoretical Amish person who was uploaded into the internet via a tragic Tron-like accident.
Nick, Kurt and Dale (Jason Bateman,  Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day) have *gasp* really Horrible Bosses.  Dave, Bobby and Julia (Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell and Jennifer Aniston) are all fairly amusing as they portray the sort of complete jagoffs that normal people would hate to work for.  Jennifer Aniston especially embraces her character's disgusting quirks and delivers her lines with a downright creepy sexual eagerness.  Colin Farrell was virtually unrecognizable as the rich boss's cocked-up son and Kevin Spacey managed to just be Kevin Spacey only a bigger asshole.
As our three titular protagonists face their absolute worst nightmares at work, they become more and more convinced that their bosses are better off dead.  That's pretty much it for plot.
After we are introduced to the three guys and their three bosses, the movie spends about half an hour driving home how much each boss sucks in their own way, and then spends most of the rest of the film letting our comedians bumble about.  It's really not difficult stuff, and there's nothing particularly special.  It's not a brilliant, genius comedy that will completely rewrite humor as we know it.  It IS a fun movie that actually recognizes both its strengths and weaknesses.
Just as Zookeeper was hard to write about for being so incredibly bland, Horrible Bosses is a difficult write-up for being so blandly entertaining.  It appears that everyone in the film had a good time and it's obvious that quite a few of the lines that made it to production were ad-lib.  Everything is absolutely predictable and the movie wastes no time by introducing a single person or item that is not inherent to the plot.
If I had to make one complaint, it would be that the movie never feels complete.  One moment guys are stumbling around, still trying to work up the courage/brainpower to kill them some bosses, and the next there is a final chase scene and a climax.  The movie even ends on a very rushed note.  It's almost like they were having so much fun with the 'let's fuck around and show how inept our characters are when it comes to being serious assassins' that they ran out of time for the little things like resolution and coherency.

I just hope that this sends a clear message to Hollywood:  Comedies are best when they are relatively fresh.  Stop making adaptations from skits/shorts/anything from SNL ever.  Stop making sequels to comedies, because they almost never ever ever ever ever work.  Just get some talented comedians in the room and let them make something half-decent, and you will be rewarded.
I haven't seen Bridesmaids, so I'll state that Horrible Bosses is the best comedy I have seen this summer.  It's much better than The Hangover Part II but it's still no groundbreaking film that could stand up to Annie Hall or Mel Brooks' best.
