Bosses are evil right? Yeah. They're mean right? Oh yeah. They limit your happiness right? Hell yeah. They should be eliminated right? Double hell yeah.
The Skinny: 3 disgruntled employees of really horrible bosses plot to kill them as a way of liberating them from a life without happiness. Clumsy murder attempts ensues. Chortle.

The Scribe: Michael Markowitz - screenplay writer: Kelsey Grammer Presents: The Sketch Show (TV) (2005), Its All Relative (TV) (2003 - 2004), In-Laws (TV) (2002 - 2003), Becker (TV) (1999), Comedy Central Presents: The N.Y. Friars Club Roast of Jerry Stiller (TV) (1999), Duckman: Private Dick / Family Man (TV) (1995 - 1996).
The Scribe: John Francis Daley - screenplay writer: Burt Wonderstone (2013), Horrible Bosses (2011), Bones (TV) (2011).
Release Date: 8th July 2011
The Prediction: This looks very promising actually - you have a great cast; a dream cast in fact. The kind of casts that can do serious, comedy and serious comedy. And the story line's pretty original and so very open to so many opportunities to expand in any direction. And, the helmer and writers do have a history of comedy. All in all the combination seems spot on. Looking at the trailer you can't help but be compelled to watch, especially Anniston, as the sexually harrassing dentist boss who's been hitting on her unsuspecting employee. Bateman is always a pleasure to watch, his straight man in horrible situation so like his role in Arrested Development. Its going to be good. Check it out. You will NOT be disappointed. (If you you do get disappointed, hell, at least you got to get out of the house to watch a movie, dincha?)
