Horrible Bosses 2

(2014) ★

Sky Movies Premiere: PREMIERE Friday 11 September, 4pm and 8pm

Hapless buddies Jason Bateman, Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis hatch an uninspired 9 to 5 kidnap plan after their lame-brained attempt at entrepreneurship is sunk by ruthless tycoon Christoph Waltz and his sociopathic son Chris Pine. Taking notes from jailbird ex-boss Kevin Spacey and nitrous oxide from sex-addict dentist Jennifer Aniston, they’re now their own bosses. And they’re horrible at it. They seem exponentially more moronic this time, even to Jamie Foxx.

Looser and longer than the original, this shambolic sequel sets its sights low and keeps on plunging. “The second one was garbage,” said Jason Bateman in an interview, “as far as box office goes.” He admitted that no one was really interested in seeing another one – although he appreciated the paycheck. The solitary bright spot is a Badfinger song on the soundtrack. Unless Jennifer Aniston talking dirty does it for you. Even the end-credit outtakes are a waste of space.
