Burbank, CA, September 8, 2011 – When you have a nut job boss in a tough economy, you need the job, but not the nut. Find out whether you should off the boss when “Horrible Bosses” arrives onto Blu-ray Combo Pack, DVD and Digital Download on October 11 from Warner Bros. Home Entertainment Group. Jason Bateman (“Up in the Air,” TV’s “Arrested Development”), Charlie Day (TV’s “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”) and Jason Sudeikis (“Hall Pass”) team up to achieve every employees dream: getting rid of the big wigs.
Management candidate Nick Hendricks (Bateman) has been slaving away under the tyranny of his twisted supervisor Dave Harken (Kevin Spacey), only to find out there is no promotion in sight. Meanwhile, dental assistant Dale Arbus (Day) has been struggling to resist the overt advances of his sexpot boss, Dr. Julia Harris, D.D.S. (Jennifer Aniston), and accountant Kurt Buckman (Sudeikis) has just learned that his company’s depraved new owner, Bobby Pellit (Colin Farrell), is bent on environmental destruction. Trying to save their jobs and their sanity, the three friends hatch a plan to off their bosses.

SYNOPSIS
Management candidate Nick Hendricks (Jason Bateman) has been logging 12-hour days and eating everything his twisted supervisor Dave Harken (Kevin Spacey) dishes out, toward the promise of a well-earned promotion. But now he knows that’s never going to happen. Meanwhile, dental assistant Dale Arbus (Charlie Day) has been struggling to maintain his self-respect against the relentless X-rated advances of Dr. Julia Harris, D.D.S. (Jennifer Aniston), when she suddenly turns up the heat. And accountant Kurt Buckman (Jason Sudeikis) has just learned that his company’s corrupt new owner, Bobby Pellit (Colin Farrell), is not only bent on ruining his career but plans to funnel toxic waste into an unsuspecting population.
What can you do when your boss is a psycho, a man-eater or a total tool? Quitting is not an option. These monsters must be stopped. So, on the strength of a few-too-many drinks and some dubious advice from a hustling ex-con whose street cred is priced on a sliding scale (Jamie Foxx), the guys devise a convoluted but foolproof plan to rid the world of their respective employers… permanently.
But even the best-laid plans are only as good as the brains behind them.
