Horrible Bosses is an interesting comedy. It’s not particularly funny or groundbreaking, but it’s entirely memorable because it’s one of the few times Jennifer Aniston gets desperately half naked for a film. Also, it brought together a trio of good folks who had a nice rapport with one another. I laughed a bit (namely at Charlie Day singing a Ting Tings song), liked the premise enough, and was fine when they announced the inevitable sequel, Horrible Bosses 2.
Horrible Bosses 2 brings the gang back together (Jason Sudeikis, Charlie Day, and Jason Bateman) as they plan to kidnap a rich guy’s son (Chris Pine) when he refuses to invest in their start up company. This first trailer is fine, and has some pep (namely the kicker at the end), but hopefully we’ll get more substance in later trailers.
Horrible Bosses 2 releases November 26th. Here’s a handy synopsis:
Fed up with answering to higher-ups, Nick, Dale and Kurt decide to become their own bosses by launching their own business in “Horrible Bosses 2.” But a slick investor soon pulls the rug out from under them. Outplayed and desperate, and with no legal recourse, the three would-be entrepreneurs hatch a misguided plan to kidnap the investor’s adult son and ransom him to regain control of their company.
