Horrible Bosses 2 (2014)

Such a frustrating disappointment

It's fun, it's light, [but] it has a hard time when its tries to get heavy.

A lot of perfectly good film show their cards early, establish a unique premise and let the audience explore a topic at a leisurely pace, without much in terms of surprise. this film is not one of those films.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Simply awful. After a 34 painful minutes both my wife and I looked at each other and agreed that enough was enough. For us, Charlie Day's prepubescent squawking was the movie buster. No man, even with a beard should sound like that-ever.I'm sure there is an audience for this type of film and it appears to have made a lot of money, but each set piece was far worse than the last. The three original Three Stooges would have been cringing at this pile of poo. Even the American Pie series came across as positively 'Shakesperean'.It would be better all round if these actors went their separate ways and considered it best 'a place not to re-visit ever again'. I sincerely hope the makers do not think of making another sequel or even worse still...........a prequel.

Okay, maybe I shouldn't have watched this so soon after watching the first one for the second time (though why I actually did that is beyond me), because I literally got to the point where I simply wanted to scream in agony, and the main reason was because it was just so painful to watch our protagonists go about acting like complete jerks. Sure, that was the point of the movie, but sitting through this film watching a bunch of bumbling idiots stumble from one stupid scene to the next just made me want to twist and turn in agony, yet for some bizarre reason I watched it to the end (then again I am one of those people that will rarely, if ever, stop watching a film halfway through).Well, I have now finished watching the film, so I can legitimately write a review of it, and I can honestly tell the entire world to simply not bother at all – this film is rubbish, painful, all copies of it should be destroyed and it should never see the light of day again. In fact I am surprised that I gave the first movie as high a rating as I did because in all honestly the original film wasn't all that much better. Okay, our idiotic protagonists are a little more tolerable in the original, but only barely.This film has our protagonists trying to start up their own business manufacturing something called the 'shower buddy', but since they are not really cold, hard, and experienced businessmen, they end up getting taken for a ride and find themselves deeply in debt. So, as is the case with the previous film, they decide to take matters into their own hands to attempt to solve the problem by breaking the law, though as it turns out they end up escaping any real penalty.Personally, I wouldn't recommend this at all. Sure, maybe it is that I simply don't like the bumbling idiot type of comedy, and after watching this film I can clearly state that I really don't like this type of comedy. The other thing is that they are basically getting much cruder, and much more offensive, though not offensive in the sense that Southpark is offensive, but rather attempting to be like that and failing miserably. Personally, give this film a wide berth.

Okay, I understand that people love sequels and it's usually a guaranteed win at the box office, but did we really need another Horrible Bosses movie? In this unnecessary sequel, the boys have gone into business for themselves, and in common fashion have signed away their invention to an investor for a fraction of what it's worth. Realizing they've been taken, they plan on kidnapping the billionaires son and the ridiculousness begins again. The old bosses and old accomplishes join new face for another adventure that's even more absurd than the first one was. I watched this film because I love Jason Sudeikis, he is one of my favorite comedic actors, however Charlie Day is not. I really don't know how anyone can stand watching It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, with this little guy running around, with his high pitched rabbit voice, always excited like he just did an eight ball before every single scene he shoots. It's honestly one of the most annoying things I can think of. This film was kind of lame and leaned toward the stupid side to begin with, but when you add this little squirrel on crack to the mix, it really becomes nearly unwatchable. The bottom line, sequels make money. Some people want to learn the fate of characters they've seen and gotten to know. Then there are people like me, who went to see the first one and even though they weren't crazy about it, figured I might as well go see the next one. I can only hope at this point they don't decide to make it into a trilogy.

I wanted to express my disappointment in this movie because of it's totally inconceivable and unrealistic story-line with lame and dumb jokes, but this crappy movie doesn't deserve my time. After somewhat decent and relatively funny original, this sequel is so bad and shallow that it's hard for me to describe, so i'm not gonna even try.I wouldn't recommend this movie to my worst enemy :p
