While the premise, of course, has no merit and is intentionally unbelievable, the movie still triggers more eye rolls than big laughs.

| Original Score: 2/5 | Oct 18, 2024

Solidly entertaining, Horrible Bosses is the kind of flick Hollywood rarely makes well, or even puts out in cinemas, these days.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 28, 2023

Without the confidence or daring to truly embrace its macabre setup, this amusing-yet-dimwitted movie proves to be lighthearted and, even worse, rather pleasant from a moral standpoint.

| Original Score: 2/4 | Mar 11, 2023

The energy and hilarity steadily run out as the film barrels towards the expected conclusion.

| Original Score: 7/10 | Nov 30, 2020

Aniston doesn't just sexually harass, she practically dominates the poor guy into submission.

| Original Score: 3.5/4.0 | Sep 11, 2020

In a summer full of R-rated comedies, this is the best of the bunch.

| May 7, 2019

More often than not Horrible Bosses comes off as one of those comedies which feels more template than anything else.

| Original Score: 1.5/5 | Mar 26, 2019

On balance, Horrible Bosses is a decent employment of one's moviegoing time.

| Original Score: B | Feb 13, 2019

Short, well-paced and to the point, with a clear idea of what it wants to achieve. Thanks to an array of well-constructed jokes and comical situations which entertain without overdoing it, it does just that.

| Original Score: 4/5 | Nov 15, 2018

It's a little too fitting, maybe, that Horrible Bosses goes all vague and mushy and out-of-focus in trying to represent what a happy ending would even look like.

| Oct 30, 2018

Frequently hilarious, with laughs arriving both hard and often once the film finds its feet, thanks in no part to the sharply written script and enthusiasm evident in the well selected cast.

| Original Score: 3.5/5 | Aug 14, 2018

It shows very clearly how far down the rabbit hole Hollywood has fallen. If it keeps making its heroes this horrible, it's heading for a major crash of its own.

| Aug 9, 2018

Maximizes the juvenile humour and the comedy timing of its three leads, who bounce off of each other well.

| Original Score: 3/5 | May 14, 2018

Horrible Bosses avoids the worst of the murder comedy pitfalls by making bad bosses the target of the plot.

| Oct 24, 2017

So, of course, a comedy of errors ensues since these everyday guys are the last you'd think could pull of such a dirty task. And man is it fun to watch it unfold.

| Original Score: B+ | Sep 8, 2017

Horrible Bosses is no masterpiece, but it's a solid comedy with great chemistry.

| Aug 25, 2017

Like rats in a collapsed maze, these are characters struggling hard to find a path to comedic freedom, and are constantly getting lost in the ruins of an absurd plot.

| Original Score: 1.5/4 | Dec 6, 2015

A ramshackle assembly of recycled characters and conflicting tones, duct-taped together at odd angles.

Full Review | May 3, 2015

This vulgar comedy is mediocre at best with some fun performances but few jokes that actually work.

| Original Score: 2.5/5 | Jun 30, 2013

With this cast, and this concept, it's just a shame that "Horrible Bosses" pulls up just when it should be taking off.

| Original Score: C+ | Jun 22, 2013
