After directing the fantastic documentary The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters, Seth Gordon didn’t impress with his narrative debut, Four Christmases. He is now back in a big way this summer with the comedy Horrible Bosses. Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jason Sudeikis star as our main trio, but supporting roles from a sex-crazed Jennifer Aniston, a despicable Colin Farrell, and an uptight Kevin Spacey look perfect. Let’s not forget Jamie Foxx as “murder consultant Motherf*cker Jones. We have the first trailer and it looks like it could be the sleeper hit of the summer, riding a vibe similar to Office Space. Check out the first theatrical trailer below via Apple and I bet you’ll be able to see it in theaters with The Hangover Part II.
Synopsis:
For Nick, Kurt and Dale, the only thing that would make the daily grind more tolerable would be to grind their intolerable bosses into dust. Quitting is not an option, so, with the benefit of a few-too-many drinks and some dubious advice from a hustling ex-con, the three friends devise a convoluted and seemingly foolproof plan to rid themselves of their respective employers…permanently. There’s only one problem: even the best laid plans are only as foolproof as the brains behind them.
Horrible Bosses hits theaters July 8th, 2011.
What do you think of the first trailer? Could it be the sleeper hit of the summer?
