Tired of always answering to others, Nick (Jason Bateman), Dale (Charlie Day) and Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) go into business for themselves. After demonstrating the prototype for an invention called the Shower Buddy, the guys attract the attention of Rex Hanson and his father, Bert. Bert invests in the trio's product, then cancels the order and steals their idea. Now heavily in debt and with no legal recourse, Nick, Dale and Kurt decide to kidnap Rex and use the ransom money to pay off their loans.

Critics Consensus

Horrible Bosses 2 may trigger a few belly laughs among big fans of the original, but all in all, it's a waste of a strong cast that fails to justify its own existence.

2.5/5

A foul-mouthed, sex-obsessed immature comedy that pushes the boundaries of decency. So, all in all, not a bad Friday-night flick after a hard week's work.

Horrible Bosses 2 is more of the same, yet less.

1/5

A problem arises with the sequel, however, when the bosses have already been vanquished in the previous movie.

If you laugh once during the 108-minute runtime, that will have been more than this critic.

There are more laughs on the average job application than in this workplace "comedy." It's misogyny masquerading as humour, with unlikeable characters and an inane premise that diminishes in interest as the running time increases.

The layered, long-winded conversations this time around are recited in such an interruptive routine that jokes are regularly lost in noise.

Not as strong as the first one, but it has it`s moments.

Funny at times, but tired and worn, as it is pretty much a repeat of the first movie. As such, it feels lazy and weak

The dialougues, though crass, were funny. And the friendship of the three men and their silly dynamics was laugh out loud funny.

Very silly and very funny. My wife and I we're laughing continuously. But you have to like silly humour.

I liked the movie. It was really funny, and made me laugh multiple times. I love Jason Bateman and Charlie Day in this film. Nothing against the actor, but the third guy is the weakest link of the characters. His acting was still good though, but I HATED his character. Pretty good movie. Surprisingly I liked this one better than the original.

There were jokes every 30 seconds, felt like they were trying to add too much. The jokes themselves weren't hilarious, and the writing was a bit sloppy. Compared to the first one, this one is a flop.
