Plot Summary
For Nick, Kurt and Dale (played by Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jason Sudekis), 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. There’s only one problem: even the best laid plans are only as foolproof as the brains behind them.
Jamie Foxx’s Character
Dean “Motherfucker” Jones is an ex-con with a one-of-a-kind moniker who agrees to be the guys “murder consultant”.
