- 100Tampa Bay TimesSteve PersallTampa Bay TimesSteve PersallThe funniest comedy of degeneracy since "Bad Santa," and a career-changer for Aniston and Farrell if they'll only keep following their perverted muses. Horrible Bosses spins hostile work environments into a movie surpassing "9 to 5" and "Office Space" as the touchstone flick for disenchanted drones.
- 91Entertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumEntertainment WeeklyLisa SchwarzbaumA bouncy, well-built, delightfully nasty tale of resentment, desperation, and amoral revenge that does for employer-employee relations what Danny DeVito and Bette Midler did for the bonds of matrimony in the great 1986 Zucker brothers comedy "Ruthless People."
- 75ObserverRex ReedObserverRex ReedIt's one of those revolting, raunch-fueled movies churned out in their sleep by the Farrelly brothers and Judd Apatow that I usually hate, but with real cleverness, off-center wit and edgy imagination. Imagine an X-rated Three Stooges farce, and you get the picture.
- 75Orlando SentinelRoger MooreOrlando SentinelRoger MooreThe first funny film to give those "Bridesmaids" a run for their money.
- 70Arizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzArizona RepublicBill GoodykoontzLet's not pretend otherwise: The comedy here is profane, juvenile, silly. Fine by me, because some of it also is hilarious.
- 63Slant MagazineNick SchagerSlant MagazineNick SchagerAs its titular tyrants, Spacey, Aniston, and Farrell all revel in their over-the-top noxiousness, though the latter is mysteriously given short shrift even though his performance is far and way the most novel and gonzo.
- 50Boxoffice MagazineSara Maria VizcarrondoBoxoffice MagazineSara Maria VizcarrondoThe laughs are proportionate to the stakes, which are middle-of-the-road.
- 40Village VoiceVillage VoiceThis is middling TV material, almost comforting in its bland predictability - the kind of stuff you want on the seat-back screen when there's turbulence on a plane - but rarely actually laugh-out-loud funny, and never truly dark or daring.
- 40VarietyJustin ChangVarietyJustin ChangThe manner in which the central scheme plays out is predictably moronic, vulgar and juvenile, though the parties involved just about make up for it.
- 30The Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThe Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThe lameness of the gags and dialogue and the film's frequent deep dives for the bottom at the expense of real comedy speak to desperation in Hollywood to figure out the audience for contemporary naughty comedy.
