ACTORS Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis return as the world’s unlikeliest criminals in Horrible Bosses 2.
After taking care of their own bosses in the first movie, our protagonists have now decided to become their own bosses – thus we have the premise for our movie.
Now this sequel does a lot right. Horrible Bosses 2 uses the same premise as before but to explore new territory. What this sequel could have done (and which is what a lot of comedy sequels do) is repeat the original plot.
While done to great effect with many comedies, in this case the screenwriters chose to actually progress their characters, taking the natural next step for them. Not wanting to be in the same situation ever again, the three decide to go into business together.
Instead of horrible bosses, our antagonists come up against two horrible investors.
The film has been receiving rave reviews online, including 6.9/10 on IMDB.
