Good Lord. All those famous, highly regarded actors turning out for this horrible movie.
What were they thinking? Of the money? Of course. They couldn't have been doing it for the credibility as the script was unbelievably lame. They couldn't have been doing it for the laughs, as the jokes were consistently low-brow, unfunny stereotypes. The jokes, even when viewed as ironic or cringe-worthy, were consistently terrible. I don't mind swearing or crudity, but it should be within the context of a halfway intelligent script, otherwise it's just rubbish schoolboy humor.
Even a script containing bumbling idiots needs a degree of believability about it. This movie, even when viewed as nothing more than a brain-dead comedy, is repeatedly stupid. The three guys being tormented by their bosses continually make out-of-character mistakes.
I was genuinely offended that actors like Kevin Spacey and Colin Farrell would lower themselves to this guff. Jason Bateman not so much, as he seems to be finding his niche with these kind of movies. (See The Change-Up)
