Jason Bateman fans: today is all yours. We just saw a new theatrical trailer for The Change-Up, his body-switching comedy with Ryan Reynolds, and now here’s the first trailer for Horrible Bosses. This is a comedy where three friends (Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day) scheme, in seemingly moronic ways, to knock off their three bosses, played by Colin Farrell, Kevin Spacey and Jennifer Aniston. We’ve had high hopes for this one, and the trailer has a few good laughs. (Many from Colin Farrell.) Check it out after the break.
So there is some Office Space flavor, and notes from a few other films, and Charlie Day seems to be playing a slightly less idiotic version of his character from It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia. But you’ve also got Jennifer Aniston playing against type as a sexually aggressive dentist, and Colin Farrell looking like he’s having a great time as the schlumpy small-time lord of his own shabby empire. Throw all those characters into conflict, along with Jamie Foxx as wild card and ‘murder consultant’ Motherfucker Jones, and we might have a winner.
