Staff Pick:  "Horrible Bosses": I wasn't really sure what it was going to be about other than what I'd seen in the trailers:Kevin Spacey getting Jason Bateman drunk at 8 in the morning, and Jennifer Aniston acting crazy in lingerie.  I guess these two things sum up the movie pretty well: it's full of inappropriateness, accidental drug use, and 3 guys getting themselves in way too deep as they try to murder their bosses.  I would reccommend it to those who like physical comedy, and comedy that's pretty obvious and not very witty. It left me laughing.
