Three friends: Nick, Kurt and Dale with harassed, insulted, and terrorized by their bosses, devise a convoluted but foolproof plan to rid the world of their respective employers permanently. The only thing that would make the daily grind more tolerable would be to grind their intolerable bosses into dust. There's only one problem: even the best laid plans are only as foolproof as the brains behind them.
Gordon knows what works and what doesn't, pushing the leads' chummy chemistry to the fore while allowing the schematic and, frankly, highly unlikely murder plot to sink into the background.
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.
It's tempting to label Horrible Bosses a post-Hangover comedy. For all I know it may have been in the works before that box-office smash saw the light of day, but it emits the same vibe, even if it doesn't go to the same extremes...
