Horrible Bosses 2

I can't help it, but lately these movies that are labeled as comedies by American distribution don't seem funny to me at all. This trio of annoying idiots was somewhat likable in the first installment, but now I realize that it wasn't them at all, but their bosses. Once again, it's the supporting characters that are much more interesting. This trio is sometimes so annoying that you hope they will disappear completely. (02/19/2015)

Horrible Bosses 2 has a great cast (including the supporting roles), is less predictable than you’d expect and surprisingly vulgar. A non-stop joyride that doesn’t give you any breaks to catch your breath. (12/04/2014)

I can’t help but feel like the sequel is a lot loopier than the first movie. Along with that comes an even loopier, crazier trio and their momentary idiocy which drove me nuts every now and then. Anyway, those three are charmers and even if they didn’t really do anything, they’d still be a joy to watch. However, Jennifer Aniston felt more like an accessory to me than a proper character. The story is one big slapstick and if you tune to the wavelength of its humor, you’ll be satisfied. (03/29/2015)

It seemed that this type of sequel (where everything is even more absurdly entangled) had already died out. The fun with Jennifer Aniston is tiresome this time around, the underused Christoph Waltz is surprising, and above all, the central trio does not work as a group of broken losers whom I want to cheer for, but as a pair of incapable fools occasionally slowed down by the moderate Jason Bateman. The clearer the buddy atmosphere is in front of the camera, the more painful the outcome. (11/26/2014)

After the funny and relaxed part one, here comes a sharp fall. I really don’t know how they managed to spoil it so. I’m surprised that I watched this cringey movie through to the end. The only thing that got me going was the stupidity of the main protagonists. In the first movie it was fine - witty and bearable for an American comedy. Now it looks like during the gap between parts one and two, a screw came loose in somebody’s head. They just keep on squabbling and speaking nonsense all the time. I give this 1* thanks only to Jennifer, who was the only thing that I enjoyed about this flop. So disappointing... (04/05/2015)
