Two types of people exist in this world: those who work and those who lead ( i.e. The boss). Warner Brothers turns up the heat in Horrible Bosses 2, a smart follow-up to the hit film that topped the charts three years ago. Comedy lovers will enjoy this latest assault on The senses at Cineplex Odeon Theatres around B.C.
After succeeding the first time out Nick Hendricks, Kurt Buckman and Dale Arbus decide they are up for a challenge. Hapless Jason Batmen, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day drive home the point in a bid to establish and market a new invention. Dreams die hard for these numbskulls. Like so many other would be entrepreneurs the lads seek out some financial help which puts them face to face with the wealthy father and son team of Bert and Rex Hanson, played with zeal and camp by Christoph Waltz and Chris Pine. Let the games begin.
Inexperienced in the world of corporate strong-arming that winner take all attitude at the executive suite puts these novices in the poor house. Desperate the lads decide to take the law into their own hands with a plan to go for the gold ( and get back their dream – and their own money) – at all costs.
Perfect comedy timing, a crazy plot, hilarious dialogue and guest appearances from a sexed-up Jennifer Anniston and foul-mouthed Jamie Foxx turn Horrible Bosses 2 into the ultimate raunchy guilty pleasure that’s fun from start to finish.
