Review of Horrible Bosses 2 (2014) by Moviemitch96 — 26 Nov 2014
It definitely had its moments and much of the charm that the first film created, but unfortunately, this one exhausted itself long before the film was over due to the weaker gags and lack of an original or funny story this time around in comparison to the first.
In fact, there were too many noticeable instances where jokes and gags from the first film were poorly recycled into this one. While the new story and writing was an overall disappointment, Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jason Sudeikis, like in the first film, are able to make the most out of it and they themselves managed to make the film slightly worthwhile.
It was good to see Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Spacey, and Jamie Foxx reprise their roles, but they didn't have enough screentime in my opinion. Christoph Waltz was ok. I also wish he had a little more screentime.
Chris Pine does a pretty decent job as Waltz's crazed son. So while the story was a bit weak and lacking this time around, the actors all managed to make it a fun film for the most part. Overall, it isn't terrible, but it certainly doesn't hold a candle to the original.
