The wacky trio is back and they are back with not only a bang, but also with a bag of tickles. Horrible Bosses 2 Movie walks in with an okayish script by Sean Anders which appears more of a deliberate attempt to justify its moniker. It isn’t exactly what we were expecting from Horrible Bosses movie sequel but it’s still fine to make do.

Humour Quotient of the Flick

The humour stays brilliant nevertheless. What do you expect when the likes of Jason Bateman and Jason Sudeikis are there to steer comedy together with their amazing comic timing? Charlie Day beams you up with his clumsiness keeping the comedy alive. All of them are really funny. What makes Bateman unique is that he is the only sane person in the group trying to jack-hammer some sense into his moronic buddies whilst Jason and Charlie keep driving into the inane all the time.

Both Christoph Waltz and Chris Pine wear the wicked veil just fine. And Jamie Foxx the MF, is still awesome. The way he negotiates. Ha! 😛 So many great laughs strewn all across the flick, it wouldn’t let you settle down for a bit.

The Final Verdict

The story is a bit annoying at times, when it keeps going up and down the good guy – bad guy dunes. It becomes predictable as we knew things had to go kaput since the franchise is all about that. However, in the end it is nothing but the dope comic timing of its actors that makes it a decent watch.

Oh! And yeah! There is Mike 😉 Breaking Bad fans will be thrilled. It is kind of a cameo.

Go for this one. Hysterical stuff!
