    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 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.

    I laughed so hard

    I honestly thought it was way better than the first. This movie is ridiculous, the whole scenario is ridiculous which is what makes it funny. The three main actors have the best synergy. Three morons who try to kidnap a millionaire's son for ransom, you can only imagine the chaos that ensues. I really enjoyed it, but the humour is a little silly so it's not for all. You either going to like it or hate it, more specifically Charlie Day. A lot of people complain about his voice, but personally I thought he was one of the funniest. One thing is for sure, this movie does not deserve a 6. It's well above 6 and should easily be ranking 7-7.5 score.

    There are some laughs in here for everyone (unless you can't handle potty humor … that's what this is full of!)

    Yes!!! I knew (My Hollywood Boyfriend) Jason Bateman wouldn't let me down — he and the rest of the cast of Horrible Bosses 2 showed us how to properly put out a funny sequel. After a disappointing Dumb and Dumber To, this movie was a welcome surprise that needs to be on your list when it's your turn to pick. If you are looking at the line-up for the weekend and just want something everyone will enjoy, check out Horrible Bosses 2. It's worth the box office price with a side of popcorn and a coke!

    Horrible Bosses 2 was exactly what I was hoping for — a fun, great, laugh out loud movie to step away from reality a bit and hang out with some of our favorite guys. For those of us that like adding movie one-liners to our repertoire, — Bateman, Sudeikis and Day are happy to oblige. There were so many funny moments from the best characters in Horrible Bosses plus the welcome addition of Chris Pine and Christopher Waltz.

    The movie didn't try to remake Horrible Bosses. It didn't try to force us into a "thou shall think this is funny" jokes. You don't need to see Horrible Bosses to understand or enjoy the sequel. It seemed to just be a fun movie to make. When you can feel genuine chemistry on the screen it plays out for the audience. Simply put, it's just good comedy with a well written script acted by a group of folks who really seem to enjoy each other. Will it someday be on the AFI Top 100 list? No. Is it something you'll want to see again? Absolutely. Will we add it to our purchased list when released to DVD? Oh yes! It's one of those movies that is good to put on when you have someone visiting or just want a night away from drama (on screen or in life!)

    I'm not usually one to comment on the soundtrack — but I must say every song seemed to come straight from my playlist! Who doesn't want to enjoy a bit of Katy Perry "Roar" with some Macklemore & Ryan Lewis "Can't Hold Us"! Fantastic! Are they still making movie soundtrack CD's anymore?!?! Because I'm in!

    On a personal note — I also enjoyed the "American Manufacturing" and "American Dream" basis for the script. Being a huge of American Manufacturing, the story was a welcome (and funny) look at the challenges of "Making it in America". One of my favorite lines that I think will get a chuckle out of manufacturing fans — "The American Dream is built in China". Hilarious.

    Bottom line, there are some laughs in here for everyone (unless you can't handle potty humor … that's what this is full of!) Take break from the holiday season upon us and check out my boyfriend Jason…ahh… I mean the movie Horrible Bosses 2 ;)

    • Trivia
      Jason 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.
