New Aniston Film A Grown-Up Farce

'Horrible Bosses' provides laughs, according to early reviews.

This weekend’s box office offers a bit of a reprieve from the superheroes, aliens and wizards dominating this summer’s movie season with an adult comedy about how not to deal with your boss.

Horrible Bosses features some familiar faces including Colin Farrell, Jennifer Aniston and Jason Bateman. Here’s the plot from moviephone.com:

Three frustrated employees hatch a plan to kill their micromanaging bosses, only to find their murderous plot snowballing into disaster in this workplace comedy. Seth Gordon (The King of King: A Fistful of Quarters) directs a screenplay written by Michael Markowitz, Jonathan Goldstein, and John Francis Daley.
