Pretty good for a sequel
Personally I loved both the first movie and this one. Although the storyline is a little predictable it definitely is funny and it's great to see everyone from the first movie in the second movie with the exception of Colin Farrell. (Obviously)
I love Jason Sudekis, Charlie Day and Jason Bateman together and I'd definitely watch another movie with these three. Is this sequel Oscar worthy? No, but it is definitely funny and a pretty good sequel.

Not bad for a comedy sequel
I watched both 'Horrible Bosses' films back to back and it's clear that the first movie is the better of the two. 'Horrible Bosses 2' has its moments but lacks ideas and the originality of the first film. The guys are a lot more stupid in the sequel, they reminded me a lot of the Hangover trio. Whether that was deliberate or not I don't know, but they weren't that dumb in the first film.
By the standards of the average comedy movie, it's not bad. I laughed a few times, which is more than can be said about a lot of comedy sequels. Like in the first film, Aniston and Sudeikis are the highlight for me. Both are brilliant in their roles. 'Horrible Bosses 2' isn't as bad as some would have you believe, but there's a clear lack of ideas here.

Weaker Than The First, Still Stronger Than Most
Whilst not to the standards of it's predecessor, Horrible Bosses 2 is still better than most comedy films released in the same period. Keeping the same dynamic that made the first successful, each character's traits are emphasised another notch, whether it be stupidity, sexualisation or frustration. It makes the trio a little less relatable, and causes the dialogue to feel a little more scripted, rather than the improvisation that worked so well previously.
Despite that, this film is still lots of fun, as the failed killers turn their attention to kidnapping. Secondary characters from the first film return and in many ways make more of an impact, plus those added are distinct enough to keep things interesting.
The best stuff comes from the three leads spontaneously interacting with one another, and overall this is another fun, light-hearted film that is very much directed to a more mature audeince.

Its a slapstick comedy
For heavens sake it is a slapstick comedy and contains enough funny scenes to achieve its purpose.
Cant imagine what some people expect and the people that say they didn't laugh until the end credits well I actually feel sorry for you. It must be depressing to be unable to laugh at childish adult humour.
I personally found the film enjoyable but I must admit I am a big child at heart and see comedy films as they as supposed to be.
Is this is greatest film of the year NO but it is far from being the worst film of the year.
I will most likely watch this again with my nephew who has the same sense of humour as myself and sure he will love the film.

Not as Good as the Original,but Fans will still be Pleased,
Horrible Bosses 2 is a great movie with a well written storyline and an outstanding comedic cast.The first Horrible Bosses is certainly better,but this sequel this totally holds up and delivers many very entertaining and laugh out loud scenes.The three leads are still in great form the second time around and you can tell that Bateman,Sudekis and Day are all great friends,and they are joined by a star studded supporting cast that includes Christoph Waltz,Chris Pine,Jennifer Aniston,Jamie Foxx,Kevin Spacey and Breaking Bad's Jonathan Banks.Pine would have to be my favourite out of the supporting cast,his character had the best dialogue and he was surprisingly great at comedy.The movie thankfully dosen't follow the same premise as the first,which is something that a lot of comedy movies do and I was very grateful that they took a very different approach from the first.Packed with tons of laughs and a great cast,I would definitely recommend Horrible Bosses 2 to fans of the first and to anyone looking for a good comedy.

Did you know
- TriviaJason Sudeikis stated in an interview that they wanted to put a gag in the film, where Jamie Foxx's character says to Nick, Kurt, and Dale, "You crackers got to go. I have three other crackers coming in," and as the trio get up to leave, the three characters from The Hangover movies would come in and sit at the booth. They finally decided against it, because it would take the audience out of the movie. Zach Galifianakis and Ed Helms (Alan and Stu from The Hangover films) later heard about this, and thought the idea was hilarious.
