When a perfect storm of professional hell simultaneously envelopes three close friends, a long night of drinking reveals their (somewhat suspicious) path to enlightenment: violently wipe their supervisors from the face of the planet and reap the rewards. Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis may enjoy top billing as the straight men with devious motives, but the true heart and soul of this flick is in the hilariously exaggerated supporting roles of Kevin Spacey, Jennifer Anniston and Colin Farrell as the trio's vile, larger-than-life caricature bosses. Spacey is brilliant as the venomous, capitalistic middle manager, a role he's had decades to perfect. Anniston's sex-crazed, blackmailing dentist is equally tremendous, while Farrell is barely recognizable as a selfish, partied out, combover-laden incompetent. Though the plot stretches things a bit too thin at times, it's got punchlines in excess and a handful of rich, rewarding moments any nine-to-fiver will appreciate. Best served with a few beers and a roomful of loud friends.
