Comedy
Three strong comedic actors make what is a rip-off of 9 to 5 a good time. Three men (Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day) are all having murderous thoughts about their bosses (Kevin Spacey, Colin Farrell and Jennifer Aniston). They hire a hit man (Jamie Foxx) to do the deed, but he insists upon only advising them. While the three workplace victims and their bosses are all funny, Bateman is my favorite. His straight-faced, deadpan reactions (used to full effect during his Arrested Development days) are top-notch and never off the mark. There’s something very funny about his debate with Sudeikis about who would get raped more if they both went to prison.

At some point, your boss is bound to do something unfair, incompetent, lazy or just stupid.

The Projector: Movies opening Friday, July 8
A Nanny in the park; a profusion of Harry Potters; a locally made horror flick; a Verdi opera on the big screen; a psycho, a maneater and a tool; and a zookeeper who gets love advice from a gorilla. It's all at the movies.

Ed reviews 'Horrible Bosses'
Much like Ed's '93 Honda, "Horrible Bosses" ain't pretty, sputters at the start, and takes awhile to get up to speed. Eventually, however, it gets where it needs to go.
