Don’t watch this
movie. Please, don’t watch this movie. And if you’ve seen the
first part and liked it, I beg you—skip this one, because it just mars
the joy from the
first part.
Horrible Bosses
2 is the most impossibly stupid film I’ve seen in a while. The movie is so
horribly bad that I couldn’t believe I liked the
first part. The most annoying thing is that it made me dislike the
characters I loved in the
first movie—except for Motherf#@ker Jones, of course.
Horrible
Bosses (part 1) had this fresh take about three guys doing what we
all wish we could do to our bosses: try to kill them. Their attempt was both
funny and heartwarming. Here, in this crap of a movie, these same guys try to
be their own bosses by finding an investor for their “Shower Buddy” idea—and
get duped, which shows how dumb they are. You’d think, “This is a good setup
for a funny movie,” but Sean Anders blew it. These guys decide to kidnap the
son (Chris Pine) of the man who scammed them. The kidnapping turns into extortion—how
that happens, go read it on Wikipedia. Don’t bother watching to find out.
Sean Anders, who
wrote We’re the
Millers (2013)—which also starred Jennifer Aniston and Jason
Sudeikis—directed this flick.
I read a review
about this movie before watching it. I was told it wasn’t great, but I was
guaranteed a few laughs. To be honest, I didn’t even crack a smile. The movie
just dragged on and failed to make any sense.
I’m confused.
How can such a likable cast make me hate a movie so much? But I guess even
actors have their off days. Except for Jamie Foxx, Chris Pine, and Kevin
Spacey, who were wonderful in this movie, the rest were annoying enough to make
me wish I didn’t know their names. Kevin Spacey had a cameo role, and he was
entertaining and funny—but not enough to save this mess. The writers decided to
not only mess up the lead characters but also the supporting ones. If you liked
the freakish Jennifer Aniston from the first movie, get ready to hate her here.
Don’t watch this. Don’t buy this. And if someone recommends this as a good R-rated comedy, please slap them across the face. If the makers decide to make a sequel, I won’t be watching.
