Although, you have to point out the biggest flaw of the movie: what red-blooded, American male is going to say no to a sex crazed Jennifer Aniston, to the point that he decides his only option is to kill her instead of getting all sweaty with her?

Horrible is the best way to describe this movie. Not only was it not written well, the actors were terrible and should be embarrassed to take the parts, it was mindless, unappealing and raunchy. How was the old was the writer about 19 years old. The comedy was so far from funny, there was not one point I laughed. I think the writer was trying to get the shock factor reaction from all of the cursing- but even the cursing was boring. There was no message and no point to the movie. Jennifer Aniston did a terrible job of acting and she didn't even look good or pull off what was supposed to be a sexy character, instead she came off cheap and raunchy and made the character not believable- which is also the fault of the terrible writers. Don't waster your money or time.]]> Fri, 05 Aug 2011 16:54:55 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5189&PID=44790#44790 HORRIBLE BOSSES : Originally posted by jesse685Then... http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5189&PID=44749#44749 Author: Michaels

I just saw it.And I saw at the cinema,which helped a lot because when I hear other people laughing at a movie I laugh a little more.

While the premise isn't original(at one point they actually mention STRANGERS ON A TRAIN and THROW MOMMA OF THE TRAIN),the script is great.Not just because it's funny,but the plot it's well constructed.So many unpredictable turns.

There are very good performances,and the 3 leads have good chemistry and timing(the bloopers during the end credits show how much they improvised).

I give it 9/10.

The only aspect "borrowed" from "Strangers" is the idea of the workers killing each other's bosses instead of their own, so they will not be suspects in the murders. 

Other than that, the killing-your-boss idea is clearly lifted from "9 To 5," which I suppose is not being mentioned because it had a mostly a female cast, while this one is mostly males?

It's Certified Fresh at Rotten Tomatoes: "It's nasty, uneven, and far from original, but thanks to a smartly assembled cast that makes the most of a solid premise, it works" 


RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: Which is why it appears here as a Member Started Forum, and not an "official" discussion -- With this cast and promos that make it look at least mildly funny, BOSSES doesn't (to me, anyway) have the earmarks of an obvious RAZZIE® Contender...

"Strangers on a Train" was about killing family members ... not bosses, as Head Razz mentioned. Again, it goes back to "9 To 5", with the added humor of "Office Space".

Actually, Strangers on a Train is a good description of this movie because that was about a guy who wants his wife dead, so he picks a stranger so they could kill each other's wives. In fact, that movie is even mentioned in Horrible Bosses.  

RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: Sorry, but you've got the actual plot of STRANGERS ON A TRAIN (one of my favorite good movies) all garbled -- Farley Granger plays an up-and-coming tennis champion who randomly meets Robert Walker on a train. Walker, a sociopath, proposes "switching murders" with Granger, who wants a divorce from his wife. In exchange for Walker killing the wife (which he does in a memorable "Lover's Island" sequence) Granger is expected to kill Walker's domineering, wealthy father (which he does not). 

I have always considered the 1951 original (which has been variously knocked off and/or imitated multiple times) to be one of Alfred Hitchcock's most under-rated films...

No, because "Strangers on a Train" had nothing to do with the characters' work or bosses, whereas "9 To 5" was about killing your boss. And you know how the Razzies combine all the movies the said nominee was in as their worst acting nod? That will probably happen to Aniston if she gets nominated this year.]]> Thu, 07 Jul 2011 05:28:53 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5189&PID=43827#43827 HORRIBLE BOSSES : In much simpler terms, this is... http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5189&PID=43825#43825 Author: moviewizguy

In much simpler terms, this is a comedic version of Strangers on a Train. Also, why would Aniston get a "conjoined" nod if she's actually good in this film? She plays a different character than her past several roles, and I think she plays it really well.

This is pretty much "Office Space" mixed with "9 to 5", combining the "I hate my job" and "I wanna kill my boss" concepts. Frankly, this movie looks funny, and I don't think it's one of ours. However, Aniston could get a conjoined Worst Actress nod for this and "Just Go With It", mostly for "JGWI".]]> Wed, 06 Jul 2011 21:34:59 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5189&PID=43816#43816 HORRIBLE BOSSES : This is not a horrible movie... http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=5189&PID=43815#43815 Author: moviewizguy

This is not a horrible movie -- It's actually pretty good. Not as good as Bridesmaids (which is really fantastic btw), but I'm sure it's much better than most other comedies released this year. The script contains actual wit, and some really clever jokes and the cast is fantastic. Honestly, they really do make the movie. And no, Jennifer Aniston is really, really good in this film.  

RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: Not sure if Aniston should be listed on our Nominating Ballot for this title -- I will need to see it before finalizing the ballot. But she certainly deserves recognition for JUST GO WITH IT (Forum LINK). That was a dreadful film, to whose dreadful-ness Aniston was a major contributor!
