Horrible Bosses 2 (2014)

Too much of everything

So much average

Pretty Good

Instead, you get a movie that's enjoyable enough, but leaves you feeling like it could have been much, much more.

(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 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.

Doesn't that just say it all? A Horrible sequel. A Horrible movie. Horrible Acting. Horrible Writing. Horrible and stupid, too! So... the premise of the movie is that they had Horrible Bosses in the first movie, and now they want to try to *be* bosses? Except that it isn't the Boss who is the antagonist, it's the investor? Wait, wait, wait. That is so stupid. Why didn't they call it Horrible Investors? Or better yet, Imbecile Entrepreneurs? After some imbecilic moments with that Horrible "actor"/"comedian" Keegan-Michael Kee-diot, these three morons decide to not ask obvious questions and screw up what could have possibly been a very short movie. Sigh. That would have saved us all some time.In total, I would give this crap-fest 0 stars, and have the producers sued for wasting Oscar winning talent for a rancid, smelly turkey without cranberry sauce.

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.
