I have no doubt that this movie pulls punches, but it still looks like what passes for solid comedy these days. I have to say, it's just another example of Colin Farrell, well...not being a douchebag anymore.

I just watched the Red Band trailer and I'm suddenly MUCH more interested in seeing this movie.

Horrible Bosses: Movie Review

It’s easy to tell when a comedy is good or bad because if you laugh, then it’s good. Though it’s no comedy classic, Horrible Bosses is one of those films that works well enough that the laughs are there, and everyone gets enough good moments for the film to work. And that’s all it needs to be.

Interview: ‘Horrible Bosses’ Director Seth Gordon Reveals The Original Ending Of The Film > The Playlist

Do you think this film could have been made before the success of “The Hangover”?

I don’t know man, I’m not sure it could have been. It couldn’t have been green lit which is probably the question you’re asking. I don’t know that it could have been made…this script predated “The Hangover” script. This script was first purchased I think in 2005? And then it was rewritten [and went] through various iterations. There was a Chris Rock version at one point that predates me…and then I read the version in 2009, which was just amazing. It had gotten sort of a face-lift overhaul thing and I loved it, I just loved it.

How did improv shape the movie? Were there any scenes that came out of letting the cast riff?
I have a background myself in improv so I have a real tolerance for the way you can improve something by riffing on set. I think you can always make it better. I’ll tell you, like fifteen to twenty percent of the movie is just straight up improv. It’s not random improv it’s tied to the source.

Spoilers in the actual interview.
