Horrible Bosses 2

 Back in 2011, we were given the comedy, “Horrible Bosses,” starring Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jason Sudeikis. It was about a trio of guys (Nick, Dale, and Kurt) who really don't like their bosses, whether they were a total fucking asshole, a dipshit cokehead, or an evil crazy bitch DDS, so they hire a guy to help them deal with the situation. The results? They try and kill each of their bosses, so there would be no trace behind them. It was a clever film that managed to keep itself fresh with each passing view of it, and was one of my favorite films of that year. And much like any successful comedy would, it spawned a sequel.

In this installment, the trio has started to build up their own product company, for their own line of showerheads. However, things turn sour when their client, Burt Hanson, cancels his offer to buy a hundred thousand units so he can buy their bankrupt company. So in an attempt to pay off their debt, they kidnap his son, Rex, who in a twist of events decides to be in on the kidnapping to get even more money.

First off, the chemistry between our three protagonists is golden. The timing for each joke between the three is just as funny as the first film, with a few added features to it. It makes it feel like this is an actual continuation of the first film. It even has Dale's wife from the first film return, even for a little bit. Every minute passing always has something new to share, and it keeps getting funnier and funnier.

The two of the former bosses, played by Jennifer Aniston and Kevin Spacey, return in smaller roles, but still manage to leave an impact on the film. We do see what has happened with them since the events of the first film, and the interactions between them and our protagonists make for some great moments. Jamie Foxx returns to reprise his role as Dean “Motherfucker” Jones, this time in a much more involved role than before, and needless to say, the ending with his bit is hilarious.

The new horrible boss, Burt Hanson, is delightfully enjoyable, and Christoph Waltz does a fantastic job at playing such a scumbag. I'm glad that this film, unlike “The Green Hornet,” was able to showcase what Waltz can do as a comedic villain. However, the one who steals the show is Rex Hanson, played by Chris Pine. To put it simply, Pine is a fucking maniacal genius in this film. Every scene with him has the film take a new turn with him, even when you least expect it. Just from the trailers alone, you can tell Pine is having so much fun with this character. I would have easily recommended this movie for him alone, showing you just how good he was in this film.

Overall, “Horrible Bosses 2” was a hilarious trip all the way through. When it comes out next week to theaters, I highly recommend checking it out. It's funny, it's timed well, and it's just as good, if not better than the first film.

Rating: 10/10
