Horrible Bosses

Being able to preserve Jennifer Anniston’s still-hot body from cryogenic stasis is impressive enough, but when you have an entire cast pulling out their A-game to do a comedic premise justice, that’s a whole other science. Horrible Bosses lives and breaths by its script and performances, achieving both aspects with a rambunctious wit and an energetic sense of comradeliness. Some cameos were briefer than I’d hoped and Charlie Day’s adolescent high-pitch whininess irritates me somewhat, but that’s just me. The film still kept me laughing consistently minute by minute. There’s not much more I could ask from a straight-up comedy.
