This was one of those movies where everyone was funny. There was no weak link in the cast. Colin Farrell stole the show. And Charlie Day is adorable. MrB and I laughed our butts off.

I loved this movie! I haven't seen Kevin Spacey in anything for so long that I forgot how funny he can be.

This was hysterical. Well needed comedy. TPTB, keep casting Aniston against type! This and The Good Girl are the only movies of hers I've appreciated. The men were hilarious. Colin Farrell earned his paycheck bigtime. As noted above, everyone was funny, spot-on casting.

I saw it last night, too. It was so funny! I especially loved Charlie Day and Colin Farrell. Although I was slightly depressed to recognise bits of my own boss in the movie. I should have been taking notes...

Which boss, Snowberry? Everyone was pretty outlandish, but I thought that Kevin Spacey's character was the most believable. I have had bosses be absolute douches about employees being a couple minutes late.
I know! His reaction to the surprise party cracked me up.

I saw it on Friday. Totally LOL! Charlie Day stole the film as well. No one does the deadpan look better than Jason Bateman. His reactions had me laughing as well. Plus, JA playing against type (whatever type that is) was funny as well.
It was also jarring to see how old Bob Newhart is [white]while seeing him as JB's new boss who locks employees in the trunk of his car at the end of the film.[/white] But it was funny otherwise.

A delightful mix of the Kevin Spacey and Colin Farrell characters.

Yikes! Poor Snowberry... though if there's an upside at least you didn't have the Jennifer Aniston boss tossed in that mix as well.
Just saw it last night and was entertained. Not nearly as much as I had been watching Bridesmaids last month, but still entertained.
A lot of the best material was already in the trailer, which always disappoints me. But I did like a couple of the twists and how they played out.
I was disappointed though in (spoiler)the comeupance (?) of Jennifer Aniston. I got all happy when some of the plot resolved itself by Kevin Spacey killing Colin Farrell and I couldn't wait to see how they would get Jennifer Aniston twisted into that....except they didn't. She just got blackmailed into I dunno... being nicer? Less sexually harrassy? No, she needed some jail time at the very least. I think if they had somehow had her cross paths with Spacey and Farrell and either killed by one of them or else had her evilness and criminal nature exposed by some accidental involvement in their plots, it would have been a tighter story and more satisfying ending/spoiler.
But it didn't suck and I laughed out loud in many places. Jamie Foxx's character was funny, though I wish they'd used him a bit more.

That bothered me too GirlyGhoul. The whole treatment of her character by everyone other than Dale bothered me, like he should be honored that a hot chick was sexually harrassing him and just go ahead and cheat on his fiancee with her. It's something that bothers me in most forms of media.

I thought jail was an option...that was the point of Jamie Foxx outside with a camera. Maybe I got it wrong. Hell, maybe if it was anyone other than Aniston I would've gotten grumpy, but the very idea of her harrassing anyone was part of what made it funny. JMO.
