But things change when he has a heart attack and is replaced by son Bobby (Farrell), an 1)incompetent jerk with a coke 2)addiction and a bad comb-over. Soon-to-be-married Dale works as a dental assistant, but spends most of his time fending off sexual advances from his boss Julia (Aniston), a cougar who just can’t keep her paws off of him.
After a few too many drinks one evening, the trio decides the only way to 3)get ahead is over the dead bodies of their bosses. They try to hire a 4)hit man through the classifieds, and when that doesn’t 5)work out, they go DIY with a little help from “murder consultant” Dean (Jamie Foxx). Do these nlikely assassins succeed in their mission? Find out this September!

●中譯
在一家化學公司擔任會計師的柯特很喜歡他的老闆，但在老闆心臟病發，由兒子巴比（法洛飾）接手後，一切都變了。巴比是個無能的渾球，又有古柯鹼毒癮，瞞天過海的髮型還難看極了（編註：comb-over是將旁邊頭髮梳到頭頂上遮禿，又稱為條碼頭）。快當新郎的戴爾則是牙醫助理，但大多時間都用於抵抗老闆茱莉亞（安妮斯頓飾）吃他豆腐，那頭美洲獅（編註：對年輕男性有興趣的中年女子）的利爪始終不肯放過他。
一晚，喝得有點多的三人決定，出頭天的唯一方法是踏過他們老闆的屍骨。他們試著透過分類廣告雇請殺手，當此路不通，他們決定自己來，由「殺人顧問」迪恩（傑米佛克斯）從旁稍作協助。這些菜鳥刺客會成功完成任務嗎？九月見分曉！
