Horrible Bosses 2
Following on from 2011's surprise cult-hit Horrible Bosses, Nick (Jason Bateman), Dale (Charlie Day) and Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) launch a business and become their own bosses. But when a slick investor outplays them, the desperate trio - with no legal recourse - hatch a misguided plan to kidnap the investor's adult son and ransom him to regain control of their company. Returning co-stars from the original include Jennifer Aniston, Kevin Spacey and Jamie Foxx alongside new faces Christoph Waltz and Chris Pine.

Reviews & comments
Flicks, Liam Maguren
flicksWe had a lot of good things to say about 2011’s Horrible Bosses, namely that it was “adult without being crass,” and “goofy without being stupid.” Changing directorial hands from Seth Gordon (The King of Kong) to Sean Anders (That’s My Boy), this unfortunate sequel happily settles for crassness and stupidity.
Variety
pressThis inane and incredibly tasteless sequel qualifies as an excuse to bring back those hard-working funnymen Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis...
Total Film
pressLooser, more conventional, and highly dependent on the enjoyably rambling bro-banter...
The New York Times
pressOne of the sloppiest and most unnecessary Hollywood sequels ever made.
The Dissolve
pressSudeikis and Day's dumb-and-dumber shtick feels tired, and Bateman sags under the joyless weight of being the token adult in yet another lowbrow romp beneath his dignity.
Hollywood Reporter
pressBogs down in predictability with reliance on too many stock situations that absorb the bulk of the running time.
