Movies that feel likeSeven Psychopaths (2012)

A struggling screenwriter inadvertently becomes entangled in the Los Angeles criminal underworld after his oddball friends kidnap a gangster's beloved Shih Tzu.

If you loved Seven Psychopaths, the closest films we have are Horrible Bosses (2011), Naked Gun 33⅓: The Final Insult (1994) and Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery (1997). All three share Seven Psychopaths' 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).

The same mix in both: wit, then play

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.

Comedy with a pulse of wit, in both cases

When millionaire hedge fund manager James is convicted of fraud and sentenced to a stretch in San Quentin, the judge gives him one month to get his affairs in order.
