Any time there is a sequel, I cringe. Normally they are the same movie characters and plot, maybe just different location(e.g., The Hangover 1, 2, and 3). They normally have a less effective script line and always leave you in a deja vu situation. Occasionally you have a surprise, but most times, not likely. Sort of makes you wonder why the Jason, Michael Myers, and Freddie Kruger movies were able to be a franchise with sequels in the double digits. One that remained entertaining was the Fast and Furious franchise which was headed toward double digit sequels until the tragic death of Paul Walker.

So it is with Horrible Bosses 2. There is good chemistry between the principles, but the plot is essentially the same. The dialogue is cluttered and headed toward three stooges slapstick. I found this sequel totally inane and boring. So much, in fact, that I dozed off somewhere in the second half of the movie and apparently didn’t miss a thing. You will be better off to see a different movie, take a nap, or anything rather than endure this drivel. Save your viewing of this flick until it comes to network TV or on your movie channel when there is absolutely nothing else to watch.

Basic Plot Line:

Fed up with answering to higher-ups, Nick, Dale and Kurt decide to become their own bosses by launching their own business. But a slick investor soon pulls the rug out from under them. Outplayed and desperate, and with no legal recourse, the three would-be entrepreneurs hatch a misguided plan to kidnap the investor’s adult son and ransom him to regain control of their company.
