THE BUZZ: Give partial credit to Horrible Bosses for this long-gestating comedy finally getting a green light; the two projects share the same writing team -- Jonathan M. Goldstein and John Francis Daley, who saw their rivaling magician screenplay pushed to the forefront after their workplace comedy scored with audiences. The on-screen pairing of Steve Carell and Jim Carrey should sell itself in a year that should steady Carell's career trajectory and stoke the embers that will reignite Carry's fire come Kick-Ass 2 time.
