Review of Horrible Bosses 2 (2014) by Thefilmfanatic — 13 Dec 2014
Horrible Bosses 2 is a carbon-copy sequel of its highly successful predecessor. What made the original film so enjoyable from its charismatically funny characters to its hilarious plot have found themselves back with slight tweaks and new characters. The film finds itself lacking in innovation and creativity, relying on the trio of Nick, Kurt and Dale to raise the film above its subpar story.
Even within the trio the comedy becomes a bit stale as Kurt and Dale's naivety starts to get dry and repetitive as the film progresses. I'm mostly disappointed in the awful use of the cast in this film who are clearly phenomenal actors. Horrible Bosses 2 doesn't have Bosses to fight back against unless they refer to Waltz' brief character, the trio themselves or perhaps even the writers of this unimaginative narrative. Regardless it is a decent film for fans of the original and therefore a film to consider if comedy choices are slim.
