Horrible Bosses 2 (2014)

(Flash Review)Funnier than most modern stupid comedies; low bar. Thus achieves its objective. Three yahoos quit their job because the movie's title implies they have horrible bosses and attempt to start their own business to be their own bosses with a silly 'shower buddy' invention. They get screwed by an investor and concoct a revenge scheme. Will they be able to pull it off to save their new business? There are oodles of lewd hijinks blended with lots of sexual and potty humor. While the movie often pokes fun at itself and its movie genre, it did it's best to cobble together a mix tape soundtrack to medium success. Overall, there are some good zingers, a couple plot twists and eye rolling situations but above average for the genre.

This is by far the funniest movie I have seen and comedy is my favorite genre so there you go . original story ( well , apart from the first movie that is ) , magnificent performances , it is like those actors were born to do this and unbelievable chemistry .

I liked this movie way more than the first time. I actually enjoyed watching this, while the humour was of course sometimes a bit dumb, but like the first one, Horrible Bosses 2 is a dark comedy. When done well it can me hilarious, when done poorly it can be absolutely horrendous. With Horrible Bosses 2 they did an okay job. Sometimes the dark jokes go too far, but sometimes they are also just right.Still I got to laugh a lot, which is always a good thing when watching comedies. One thing that bothers me though is that the name is still Horrible Bosses while there really isn't a horrible boss here, not as clearly a in the first one at least. This is what can happen if you make a sequel when you didn't exactly plan it carefully. It has the title, and while Horrible Bosses 2 had a better plot, better twist, it's still carrying the name which is a bit ehh.

Kidnapping rather than murder is on the agenda this time round as the three friends from the first film look to get revenge on a shady businessman who tricked them out of a fortune in this follow-up to the 2011 hit comedy. Most of the original cast is back and while Kevin Spacey, Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Aniston are given disappointingly little to do, the chemistry between the three leads is as strong as ever with their great comic timing the main reason to see the film. Unfortunately, the characters seem even more inept, clumsy and foolish this time round, which sometimes makes them difficult to relate to. They each have their fair share of funny moments though, with Jason Bateman's mistaken belief that he has waltzed into an AA meeting a clear highlight as well as the opening scene in which an automatic shower invention looks incredibly 'wrong' when viewed at a certain angle. Not all the gags are that good (an extra-long freight train is excruciating) but ultimately the film has more hits than misses with a cunning Chris Pine actually outclassing Christoph Waltz as his even slyer father. As with the first film, movie references are used to good effect too. All the 'Predator' quips are highly amusing, as is the trio modeling their kidnapping on 'Nine to Five' and then debating who of them is the Fonda, Tomlin and Parton of their clan. Sure, this is not as fresh and funny as the first film... but how many comedy sequels are? Viewed with the right expectations, it is hard to imagine the film disappointing anyone who liked the trio's chemistry in Part One.
