Rating: 8 out of 10, another great 2011 R-rated comedy. This seemed like a great year for those. This one has a simply awesome cast. Kevin Spacey brings his Swimming with the Sharks personae forward again and that is always fun to watch. He is one of those actors who seems to lift the ability of those actors surrounding him and it happens again here. I didn't know much about Day before this movie but he's incredibly funny. Some of the funniest bits was seeing Anniston abandon her good girl type and play a really raunchy semi-villain - it looks like she had a good time with the role. It was just strange seeing Rachel being so foul mouthed - a welcome strange though. Bateman is always great in these type roles and the timing between he and Sudeikis is spot on. Spacey, Farrell, and Anniston steal every scene they're in from the good guys but it was set up that way and works well. The three heroes are such good natured idiots that they're lovable. This movie dares to be politically incorrect and that really works for me. It has no other message than - let's be funny and make people laugh - great movie. Be sure to stay through the credits to see some incredibly funny out takes.
MVP: Sudeikis as Kurt the libidinous account manager tormented by Farrell
