Horrible Bosses

As the second feature in our comedy festival last evening we watched this movie after Bridesmaids. Interestingly the two movies seem to be a bit of bookends with the female and male perspectives.

In this movie Charlie Day, Jason Sudeilis, and Jason Bateman play three men who work for what could be deemed Horrible Bosses, hence the title.

Those bosses played by Jennifer Aniston ( a play against type as a sexual harassor, Colin Farrell as Bobby Pelitt, and Kevin Spacey as the dastardly as Dave Harken.

Also in the movie is Jill Clayburgh, her last role before dying of luekemia, and Jamie Foxx as Motherf---er Jones who might have the funniest part in the movie.

Called a dark comedy this too was a funny movie. I would call it not as even as Bridesmaids but still there were several laugh out loud movies. Jason Sudeikis is a very funny actor...one wonders if he could not be funny.

A good movie with very funny moments.

The Switch

Rented this movie on Netflix about two weeks ago. It was one my wife picked out that we were going to be watching together but that I planned to multitask during.

In this movie Jennifer Anniston and Jason Bateman are long time friends. Having dated long ago they are now great friends and share all including commiserating about how awful dating is. Nothing original here thus far as When Harry Met Sally mined this territory years ago. Thoug if Jen also had a Big O scene it would be worth watching.

Anniston decides she wants a baby and cannot wait for a man. She gets some sperm who comes to her house to give her the sperm fresh...does this happen?.. and leaves it in a cup in the bathroom. While this is going on her girlfriends are throwing a party for her and Bateman's character realizing he is jealous and has feelings for the inseminated to be gets drunk. When in the bathroom he makes a switch of the contents of the cup.

The second half of the movie is better, highlighted by the little boy who plays the product of this switch. The truth comes to light, trouble ensues. Not a great movie, I am not even sure it was a good one. I did put down my book though and watch the second half pretty intently for whatever that is worth
