I was home last night by myself so I saw two good movies on TV again. Both successful R Rated comedies from 2011, both with good dialogue and a certain raunch factor that reminded me of the 80s.
Horrible Bosses had an all-star cast, particularly the villains, played by Colin Farrell (Southland View favorite), Kevin Spacey and Jennifer Anniston. The 3 schlubs, Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudekis, decide to kill their bosses. Based on advice from Motherfucker Jones (Jamie Foxx) they decide that each should kill the others' boss. Another One Crazy Night plot, it does it well. It grossed over $100 million and got a 2017 sequel with new bosses.
Hall Pass, also starring Jason Sudekis plus Owen Wilson, is a Farrelly Brothers movie, straight from Providence, Rhode Island. Rick and Fred are bored with their married lives, and they then get to go crazy (so to speak) for a week while their wives (Jenna Fischer, Christina Applegate) go out of town for some fun of their own. Very similar in tone to There's Something About Mary, it's a fun look at the other side of the fence.
Both **** of 5
