Horrible Bosses (2011 R)

   The movie stars Jason Bateman (Up in the Air, Hancock), Charlie Day (Going the Distance, A Quiet Little Marriage), Jason Sudeikis (Hall Pass, Going the Distance), Jennifer Aniston (The Good Girl, Rumor has It), Colin Farrell (Crazy Heart, The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus), Kevin Spacey (The Usual Suspects, Midnigh in the Garden of Good and Evil), Julie Bowen (Modern Family tv, Mulitiplicity), Jamie Foxx (Ray, The Soloist), and Donald Southerland (The Italian Job 2003, A Time to Kill).
   The plot of the movie is that of Strangers on a Train.  Three friends come up with and mess up a plan to kill each others bosses. 
   I was going in to the movie with very low expectations.  I was thinking that the bosses would be horrible to the point of being mean.  While they are all bosses from hell I am glad that there meaness did not turn me off to the point of hating the movie for that reason. 
   There were times when the movie shown but on the whole the parts that shown were too few and far between.  Its a Bro-mance in the style of The Hangover.  Hapless men and the stupid things they do. 
   A problem I had with the movie was the pacing.  The plot was moving along then all of a sudden it got to the end and had a voice over to tie up the loose ends.  There were a lot of loose ends they did that way.  It was like they rqan out of movie or ran out of time and just sumerized 20 pages of dialogue and action in a minute or two.  For me it was a hurried way to end the movie. 
   One bright spot was  Farrell's characters house.  I thought they did a very good job of capturing the core of the character with the most hidious pieces of 70's decor imaginable.  For most of the rest of the movie I thought it was too much like an Adam Sandler movie.  And I dont mean that in a good way.  Sandler characters are men who act like boys and try and get laughs from immature humor.   I hope my dislike of Sandlers movies comes through but thats another matter.  This movie seems just men beng stupid and messing up a plan.
   Im rating this movie as a C-.  It started off alright but fadded into something I was thinking it might be.  A movie that just was just not that funny.
