The second movie I saw today was Horrible Bosses 2, and as expected it was hilarious. I laughed from the first scene all the way to the blooper reel during the credits. It is just as good as the first movie if not better. It’s similar in a lot of ways to the first film but what’s great about it is that the filmmakers didn’t change what was good from the first movie and definitely improves on the parts that weren’t. The cast is amazing, and the three main characters have great chemistry, it wouldn’t surprise me to find out that they’re all friends in real life. Charlie Day was especially hilarious, he had me laughing the entire time. Jamie Foxx and Jennifer Aniston are great as well, they steal every scene that they’re in. The movie had a couple of good twists, although nothing I didn’t really see coming. I can’t really think of anything major that I didn’t like about the movie, it was frustrating to see the main characters fuck up so often, but I guess that’s part of their charm. This movie is probably not going to win any awards but it does exactly what you expect from a comedy, it makes you laugh. My only real criticism is that I felt that Christoph Waltz’s character was criminally underutilized. Walz is a great actor, and he’s really funny too, but the writers didn’t really give him anything to work with or any memorable lines. Other than that the film was great, I found it very entertaining and laugh out loud funny. If you were a fan of the first one or just like a good R-rated comedy then I highly recommend watching this one. 4/5
