Premise is three friends hate their three bosses. Jason Sudekis loved his old boss, but now his coke-head, doucher son (GREAT job by Colin Farrell on this one) is now running the chemical company. Colin Farell just OWNS this role. He is completely fucking hilarious and is only limited by his lack of on-screen time. Bateman hates his boss played by Kevin Spacey, who does a very good job as well. Spacey is a heartless asshole, your standard Glengarry Glenross Alec Baldwin inspired boss. He refuses to promote Bateman and runs him into the ground. Charlie has Jennifer Anniston as a man-eater who wants him to plow her. Anniston does a pretty good job, she is still VERY GOOD looking, so that's nice. It's your typical dumb humor movie, which tends to bother me when Charlie is just WAAAAYYYY too stupid. I don't find it funny when it crosses the line into just ridiculous stupidity. Jamie Foxx is hilarious for the few minutes he's onscreen as their Hit man liaison Motherfucker Jones. Really good cast, pretty funny plot and story, not great writing, but decent.
Bottom Line: 7.4 out of 10. Great side characters help drag it along, worth seeing when it's out on video.
