horrible bosses..

Tweet

My partner and I settled down into our usual Sunday evening routine of film watching this past weekend, and my lovely other half had managed to download horrible bosses with Jennifer Anisten. I was very excited as the wonderful Jennifer is one of my favourite actresses and was also a personal favourite in friends, and the friends character I’m apparently most common to according to my other half! .. Imagine my disappointment, when the film started, and I was to put it mildly, VERY unimpressed! .. the pace was slow, the humour slow, and Jennifer’s part wasn’t as big as I thought it could have been for having the lovely Ms. Anisten in the film! It was really quick to get to a point, and dispite the title of the film being “Horrible Bosses” .. there wasn’t really much to it other than the fact that they did indeed have, horrible bosses. But there was no point to it. So what? So their bosses were sexist, and nasty, and over looked them for promotions? And what? Hello!! Reality calling!! So.. with my finger hovering over the “Stop” botton.. I watched a little more. To my utter amazement the film soon did pick up the pace, and I found myself interested, waiting for what was to come next, and the humour got better and better as it went on.. I’m still not entirely sure if the slow humour pick up was intentional or not, or whether the beginning of the film was just somewhat lazy.. but in the end i quote enjoyed it. So, do other films pleasantly surprise you? And have films let you down in the past that you were dying to see? And what did anyone else think of this film?
