Nick, Dale and Kurt are friends who work in Riverside, California, where their bosses make their days miserable. Nick works at a financial company for a sadistic boss who repeatedly denies him the promotion he had hinted at. Dale, a dental assistant, suffers sexual harassment from his boss, Dr. Julia Harris. Kurt, meanwhile, puts up with the nonsense of a new manager who has just joined his department. One night over drinks, the three friends sit down to vent their frustrations and decide that the only way out is to get rid of their bosses. Directed by Seth Gordon, the film stars Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis as the main trio.

Quotes by Horrible Bosses

  • [first lines, narrating] I get to work before the sun comes up, and I leave long after it's gone down. I haven't had sex in six months with someone other than myself and the only thing in my refrigerator is an old lime. Could be a kiwi. No way to tell.
  • [narrating] The only hitch? I work for this guy, David Harken, who right now is giving me some fresh shit for being two minutes late. He's a total fucking asshole.
