Might be neat... but I am so bored by Aniston. She just isn't that good of an actress. She's boring.

Looks like it could be pretty funny to me. I like Bateman and Munn. Aniston is kind of hit and miss with me but she's nice to look at.

I follow Munn on social media and she's not talking this movie up as much as she did with XMen. I know she was super excited about that role. But, maybe it's me and I just haven't noticed her postings as much.

I'm a big fan of Aniston in her Horrible Bosses role, but this looks more standard issue.

She was great in We're the Millers. I can't say she's the greatest actress in the world but I respect her for going all out for her recent comedies. For a while there I figured she'd do nothing but terrible rom coms for the rest of her career.

Looks like the worst parts of The Night Before and Horrible Bosses all rolled into one giant piece of shit.

If an attractive woman asks me to go see this movie with her and offers to blow me in the theater, I will buy a ticket. Otherwise, I will not. /logic

I sort of feel like the opening scenes of the trailer with the trashed office looks like your house did when your ex-wife lived there.

I don't mind Aniston but she doesn't seem interesting in this one. Bateman is playing the same character from his other comedies. I'll probably eventually see this but not during it's theatrical run.

I think it will make some money. Horrible Bosses and the like proved that. Just wouldn't spend it myself on this...

Saw it today because I was at a hotel and needed to get out for a bit. I enjoyed it. It won't go down as a holiday classic but it has some laughs and overall I was entertained for it's entire run time. Would give it a 3/5.

Caught a matinee yesterday.
Geez. I see this movie wasn't exactly a draw in this forum for the past few weeks.
I thought it was pretty fun movie. I got a few laughs out of it. However, I don't think this will have much replay value.
Jason Bateman was essentially playing the same character he's played in his last 5-10 movies. The guy obviously has a niche character he likes to play.
However, he and Olivia Munn have absolutely no chemistry. They didn't work for me as a couple in the movie.
Jennifer Aniston played the super hot bitchy boss.
TJ Miller was loud, crass and obnoxious. Suited his personality perfectly.
Some of the gags have been done before, but overall it wasn't a bad way to kill 100 minutes of my day. Decent supporting cast.
Overall I'd give it a B- or C+ I'd recommend it if you're a fan of Bateman.

Saw this yesterday via the Showtime free preview weekend.
Wasn't as good as I thought it was going to be. Usually I don't like Munn, but she was good in this. Bateman was good as usual. Lots of recognizable character actors.
Overall plot is what was lacking.
