The “Horrible Bosses” trio is back and they are once again the victims of the wealthy. Nick (Jason Bateman), Kirk (Jason Sudeikis), and Dale (Charlie Day), are their own bosses after inventing The Shower Buddy. Their creation is a shower companion that dispenses shampoo to help make your shower quick and easy. The Shower Buddy captures the attention of the rich and powerful Bert Hanson (Christoph Waltz) and his son Rex (Chris Pine). The Hanson’s place an order for 100,000 units, but cancel as soon as the products are ready.
Hanson’s plan is for the company to go bankrupt so that he can buy it on the cheap. Refusing to give up, Nick, Kirk, and Dale must think of a way to save their company and consult with their old pal MotherF- Jones (Jamie Foxx). It’s a pretty ridiculous plot, but “Horrible Bosses 2” is so hilarious that we let its mistakes slide (though the same can’t be said for Bill Cosby).
The chemistry between Bateman, Sudeikis, and Day is hysterical. You can tell that these three actors (and the entire cast, for that matter) are having a blast on set and part of what makes “Horrible Bosses 2” great is that the cast genuinely wants to be there. Most of the humor comes from the trio and we rarely (if at all) see them apart.
Christoph Waltz deserved more scenes as the villain. And Chris Pine in a comedy? Not too shabby. Pine perfectly portrays the rich-jerk role. Some of the best scenes are from Pine; you’ll love to hate his character. Besides Foxx, Jennifer Aniston also returns to reprise her role as Julia, the now proud sex-addict.
Of course Rotten Tomatoes is roasting “Horrible Bosses 2.” They often give the most random ratings. How “St. Vincent” is at 74% fresh and “Horrible Bosses 2” is at 31% is beyond me! I highly recommend “Horrible Bosses 2” if you want some major laughs. This isn’t the type of comedy in which hilarity ensues after an event occurs; in “Horrible Bosses 2,” hilarity ensues at the opening credits. The only thing you’ll regret is laughing so hard that you didn’t hear the following joke.
“Horrible Bosses 2” is rated R for strong crude sexual content and language throughout. Running time is approximately 1 hour and 48 minutes. “Horrible Bosses 2” is in theaters today.
