20. Horrible Bosses (2011)- Seth Gordon

Horrible Bosses Trailer

As weird as this sounds, this movie is incredibly relatable. Whether it's a coke addict, bad hair line boss's son who gets whatever he wants just because, or a huge asshole who gets pleasure out of making your life a living hell, or a borderline psychotic person who is obsessed with you to the point that it is actually unhealthy, there will always be that person who you want to "kill." In this movie, Nick (Jason Bateman), Dale (Charlie Day), and Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) actually attempt it. They employ the help, er uh "help" of one badass Motherfucker Jones (Jamie Foxx). Don't worry, that's not his real name, but who can walk around the worst section of Los Angeles with a name like Dean Jones? Anyway, the comedy of the movie is focused around the fact that it is nearly impossible for three random guys to commit premeditated murders and the events that make it impossible. They go from hiring a man who specializes in urinating on other men, to accidentally saving one of the bosses with a peanut allergy by stabbing him with an Epipen. In the end, however, the movie actually has a pretty good "message," if you can even call it that. They will just happen to murder each other and Motherfucker Jones will, in fact, catch your crazy boss in the act of trying to molest you on top of your best friend. Assholes never win. It doesn't take illegal activity to figure that out.
