Caution: This Might Contain Spoilers!

This story follows three men; Nick Hendricks, Dale Arbus, and Kurt Buckman. Each of them are forced to work with a horrible that is making their lives miserable. One night, over drinks, they decide to try and murder their horrible bosses. With the help of a murder consultant they attempt to murder their bosses.
This film was directed by Seth Gordon, who is developing a name in comedy. This is a unique comedic film that is based off something that everyone can relate to. This was tastefully done, and had a slightly surprising ending. There was some toilet humour, but it wasn't overplayed. The opening was a good lead in since it gave you an introduction to the characters and their bosses. Sometimes the characters were a bit over the top taking their roles to the extremes. Having the police involved in the manner that they did was well done. This film doesn't follow the format seen in other recent comedic films like the Hangover, or Hallpass. So, I will come out and say that I can not agree with most other film critics. This film has a selective comedic audience. This film was mainly made for the average working person. I think that's what makes the film really original is that it doesn't use a drunken, or drugged, idiot as the leading character. A lot of comedy comes from it reliability from the average working person. This film also wasn't meant to be dark, because it's a comedy. That's why the character's don't come out as a angry drunken men murdering people at random-that would make it a horror or a thriller. Sure, there is a lot of things in it that appear to play to the stereotypical gender roles, and is racist, and possibly against gays, but these features all appear (in some way) in every comedic film of the time. It is brought out to satirize it. I would not go so far as to say that's its the greatest comedic film of the year, but it's funnier than some of the other films I've seen.
The acting was good. It made several highly believable characters. I also believe that the actors who played the bosses just had fun with their roles (even if it was taken highly over the top). Jason Bateman played the role of Nick Hendricks. He is the man working in the office waiting for his next promotion, and is working for the psycho. He was great in this role creating a highly believable character. Charlie Day played the role of Dale Arbus. This film brought him out of the television screen and onto the film screen. His character is the man who dreams of being the perfect husband, but he works for the man-eater. He is good in this film becoming a character that discovers he has a backbone. Jason Sudeikis plays the role of Kurt Buckman. He is playing a very familiar role in his career. A man driven by his crotch. He's good at his role, but he needs to try something new and refreshing. His character loved his job until his favorite boss died, and his son took over the company-the tool. Kevin Spacey plays the role of the psycho-Dave Harken. He is great, and highly believable, in this role. He didn't take his character too far over the edge, but went far enough to make him really insane. Jennifer Aniston played the role of Dr. Julia Harris, D.D.S.-the man-eater. This is a surprising change in her usual choice of acting roles. She really changed her acting persona in this film, and it worked amazingly well. Colin Farrell played the role of Bobby Pellitt-the tool. His character doesn't appear too much in the film. His character is taken highly over the top, so that people can't wait to see him die.
I give this film a 5 out of 5 stars! I really enjoyed this film. The acting was amazing, and the cast had great chemistry. The comedic style is more for the average working person, and changes the recent style of comedy that has been present in modern films.
Answer to last question: Actor Stephen Lang played the role of Brigadier General Dean Hopgood in the film The Men Who Stare At Goats.
