Horrible Bosses 2: The Same Movie, but Paying the Lead Actors More Money!

Horrible Bosses 2 is very similar to Horrible Bosses 1, but without the horrible bosses. The "gang" is back of Charlie Day, Jason Sudekis, and Jason Bateman, also Kevin Spacey, Jamie Foxx, and Jennifer Anniston also lent their talents again. Chris Pine and Christopher Waltz get brought into the fold to complete the stacked cast and they attempt to make kidnapping and ransom funny. There were funny parts, but I really can't get into Sudekis and Day fighting to be dumber in every scene while Bateman plays Michael Bluth again. It's a dynamic that works, but in SO many doses it gets really old and tough to swallow. Everything takes longer because they are too stupid to function at a human level at anything. Waltz is pretty cool, but really limited appearances in this one, just like the other side characters besides Pine. I should mention the premise is the boys decide to make a "shower buddy" that turns your shower into a car wash with soap & shampoo included. They go on a local news broadcast with funny results and eventually get the opportunity to pitch the idea to a huge company in hopes of getting mainstream production going. That isn't important because it's 90 minutes of the guys dicking around with limited supervision or direction. They get pointed in a direction and act like fucking morons to sometimes really funny results. Bottom Line: 6.2 out of 10. Funny enough to watch, but not to pay money to watch. If you REALLY liked the first Horrible Bosses film, you'll like this one too. Isn't reinventing the wheel, that's for sure.
