Inclubabu Plot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
FuzzyTagz If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.
Sienna-Rose Mclaughlin The movie really just wants to entertain people.
Paul Magne Haakonsen This sequel was not even half as fun and entertaining as the first "Horrible Bosses" movie was. Why? Well, it just had too much of a mundane and generic storyline, and it was lacking the originality and humor that was present in the first movie.Sure the movie had a good ensemble of actors and actresses, and it was nice to see people revisit their roles from the first movie, but it was a shame that they had so very little to work with in terms of a proper script and storyline. Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day certainly did carry the movie. It was also some nice performances from Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Spacey, Jamie Foxx, Chris Pine, Christoph Waltz and Jonathan Banks, just a shame that they had such small roles to play.There were some casual laughs here and there, but the movie just felt forced and was running on autopilot. And that is what made this movie crash and burn for me. It simply lacked originality and the ability to bring out some good and proper laughs.This is hardly a movie that you will watch a second time.
Defected74 While the first movie was hilarious and worthy of watching more than once, Horrible Bosses 2 proves that some actors (Charlie Day and Jason Sudiekis) lack skills. Why does Charlie Day have to yell all his lines and pretend he's still on It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia? Why does Jason Sudiekis always have to be a male chauvinistic pig? Jason Bateman is the only one of the three worth watching here.
WubsTheFadger Short and Simple Review by WubsTheFadgerThe plot is kinda the same as the first but it still has a lot of laughs. The well timed humor and crazy scenarios make the movie enjoyable. Some of the jokes are oversexualized but still funny.The acting throughout is great. Jason Bateman and Jamie Foxx steal the show.The pacing is a little slow and the film does have an overly long runtime. Jennifer Aniston once again looks smoking hot.Pros: Well timed humor, great acting, funny plot, and Jennifer Aniston's sweet bodyCons: Slow pacing, overly long runtime, and some overly sexualized jokesOverall Rating: 7.0
Harry Lags When their new business fails, lovable losers Nick (Bateman), Kurt (Sudeikis) and Dale (Day) plot their revenge on the slick investor who ripped them off them (Christoph Waltz) by kidnapping his son (Chris Pine) and demanding a ransom.The good news is that Horrible Bosses 2 brings back most of the things fans of the original liked about it. Original horrible bosses Spacey and Aniston get a couple of scenes each, and they are funny. New additions vary in effectiveness. Christoph Waltz and (in particular) Chris Pine are great picks to fill the antagonist slots. It's the same winning combination as the first movie, with silly, hilarious situations , my favorite probably being the Ocean's 11 style slick plan that goes totally haywire.The rude & crude humor, that's trademarked by the R-rated Jennifer Aniston who returns as Sex addicted dentist Julia. Bateman, Sudeikis & Day are on top form, ably supported by the returning characters of aforementioned Jenifer Aniston, Jamie Foxx (Django) as the shady "MF" Jones & Kevin Spacey as the hard boiled Harken. The fresh injections of Chirs Pine & Christoph Waltz are class, particularly Pine whose frenetic, zany prankster is priceless.Conclusion, Horrible Bosses 2 is a solid sequel, the continuity of the characters/atmosphere , new story with some surprises up it's sleeve & fresh injection of characters make for a fun time. Don't listen to the bad reviews if you liked the first movie, you will also like this one too. 8 out of 10
