Horrible Bosses 2 (2014) Review

Movie Poster

Horrible Bosses 2 is the sequel to 2011's Horrible Bosses and directed by Sean Anders (Sex Drive). It follows the story of the three victims of horrible bosses from the first movie, Nick Hendricks (Jason Bateman), Kurt Buckman (Jason Sudeikis) and Dale Arbus (Charlie Day), and their current event lives. They have invented a new product named the shower buddy which inserts shampoo into the shower head for a brief while so you don't have to apply it yourself. After show casing it on a morning television show they get a call from Boulder Stream. The company owner's son, Rex Hanson (Chris Pine) offers to buy their idea for a one time fee but they refuse. When he reveals it was a 3 million dollar fee they try to get the deal back until Bert Hanson (Christoph Waltz) enters the room and decides on a new deal. He orders a 100,000 units of shower buddy's and the three joes go off to work. On a business loan of $500,000 they rent a warehouse, get employees and finish producing in less than a week. But when they go to inform Bert on their breakthrough, he cancels his order. Instead he has opted to wait till they don't get an extension for their loan and then buy the shower buddy's off the auction cheaper than it being made in China and rename it The Shower Pal. The guys are furious and they go back to their warehouse to plot a way to get their company back. They can't afford that money since now they're out of jobs and Dale has three kids. Kurt and Dale come up with murder but then they remember the fiasco that was the first movie. Then they settle on kidnapping but they don't have a plan. They go to the usual suspect Motherfucker Jones (Jamie Foxx). He gives them their plan. They'll have to sneak into Rex's house and knock him out with a substance or gas and keep him captive without him seeing them until Bert pays up to get his son back. The only place they know to get knockout gas from is from Dale's former working space, Dr Julia Harris D.D.S.'s (Jennifer Aniston) clinic. After an almost botched plan they get out successfully and their plan is on a full swing.

Now if I dove more into the story it would kind of damage the story. This is possibly the best comedy this year. It made me laugh from the start to the beginning with creatively written jokes. Although some of it was censored in here's theaters but I'm optimistic that I will watch it again when it hits iTunes. It has an all out great cast with scenes put together in a magnificent order, Jennifer Aniston knocks it out of the park, it's just a masterpiece. And while some comedy movies have an OK stories this had a great story. I give it 10 laugh gases out of 10.
