Horrible Bosses
Movie • 2011 • Comedy
ReportFor Nick, Kurt and Dale, the only thing that would make the daily grind more tolerable would be to grind their intolerable bosses into dust. Quitting is not an option, so, with the benefit of a few-too-many drinks and some dubious advice from a hustling ex-con, the three friends devise a convoluted and seemingly foolproof plan to rid themselves of their respective employers... permanently.

One of the characters is continually abused by his boss (Jennifer Anniston's character). This is supposed to be a punchline.

(45:10) (Minor) The Garage door suddenly begins to lift up, startling the men
(52:47) (Minor) A Cat suddenly appears from the right side and jumps down
(53:22) (Minor) A Cat appears again and suddenly runs off, with a loud meow
(1:03:46) (Minor) A Cat again jumps up and startles Dale
