Lord and Miller\’s sensibility was a big part in why the original worked, and if I remember correctly, they attributed the original\’s success to being able to both write and direct the film and not have to resort to some sort of committee for the storytelling and creative decisions, like most animated features. Unless the director and writers were handpicked by Lord and Miller, I\’m about ready to write this off.

That said, it wastes a great premise, is savagely edited into a 90 minute highlight reel and the best characters — Farrell and Foxx — are cameos at best. Bateman, Sudeikis and Day are doing nothing new and seem to have walked in off whatever other movie they were shooting before.

Horrible Bosses an A- from EW and 3.5 stars from Roger Ebert. It\’s not nearly as bad as they\’re making it out to be. But then I didn\’t think Bad Teacher was as bad as the reviews said it was, either. With Crazy Stupid Love and 30 Minutes or Less forthcoming, this is shaping out to be a pretty decent summer of comedies.

As of today, the movie is 82% fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. I can\’t wait to see it. Don\’t know why you\’re hating on these writers so much.
