Horrible Bosses 2

Horrible Bosses-inset

HORRIBLE BOSSES 2 is for cinemagoers who enjoy dopey male adventure comedies.

Sean Anders is the helmer who also directed Hot Tub Time Machine, one of the raunchiest films I have ever seen. Anders also happens to be the co-writer for the upcoming Dumb and Dumber sequel.

HORRIBLE BOSSES 2 reunites the trio of Nick, (Jason Bateman), Dale (Charlie Day) and Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) who together decide to launch their own business. They believe they will make their fortune with their new product, The Shower Buddy, and they get billionaire Bert Hanson (Christoph Waltz) on board who orders 100,000 products for a cool 3 million.    

The plan backfires when they find themselves double-crossed by Hanson who breaks the deal, sending them broke which then leads to a hostile takeover.

How do they try and remedy the situation? By kidnapping Hanson’s spoilt son, Rex (Chris Pine), and demanding a $500,000 ransom. As you can imagine, their criminal skills are no better than their business sense!

Jamie Foxx and Kevin Spacey return to their respective roles offering the three later day Stooges advice. Kidnapping the bosses’ son turns out to be much more complicated than they had planned.  

Jennifer Aniston also reprises her role as the sexually deranged dentist who unknowingly helps the trio with their kidnapping plan. Her scenes in the movie were enough to make you shift uncomfortably in your seat and wonder whatever happened to this sweetheart of an actress.

Like The Hangover series there are plenty of laughs, gross out scenes and some good one liners, but just like The Hangover, (no doubt there will be another one) this is an adult movie, and definitely not one to take kids to.

Summing up, Horrible Bosses 2 is no funnier or less offensive than the original. The film opens nationwide on Thursday 11th December.
