Movies that feel likeHorrible Bosses (2011)

For 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.

If you loved Horrible Bosses, the closest films we have are Seven Psychopaths (2012), Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997) and We're the Millers (2013). All three share Horrible Bosses' witty and playful feel, which is what we rank on before quality.

Seen the big three already? The under-the-radar pick below is Hera Pheri (2000).
