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.

Horrible Bosses is a 2011 American black comedy directed by Seth Gordon. Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jason Sudeikis star as three friends who hate their respective bosses so intensely that they devise a scheme to murder them. Bateman's boss is a sadistic, promotion-withholding tyrant played by Kevin Spacey; Day's boss is a sexually aggressive dentist played by Jennifer Aniston; and Sudeikis's boss is an incompetent, coke-snorting heir played by Colin Farrell.

When their amateur murder plots inevitably go wrong, their "murder consultant" — a petty criminal named Dean "MF" Jones played by Jamie Foxx — proves as inept as they are. The ensemble's chemistry and the three villainous boss performances were the film's primary pleasures. Horrible Bosses earned $209 million worldwide on a $35 million budget.

The film spawned a 2014 sequel, Horrible Bosses 2, and demonstrated the ongoing commercial viability of the ensemble comedy built around recognizable workplace frustrations.
