Whilst not to the standards of it's predecessor, Horrible Bosses 2 is still better than most comedy films released in the same period. Keeping the same dynamic that made the first successful, each character's traits are emphasised another notch, whether it be stupidity, sexualisation or frustration. It makes the trio a little less relatable, and causes the dialogue to feel a little more scripted, rather than the improvisation that worked so well previously.
Despite that, this film is still lots of fun, as the failed killers turn their attention to kidnapping. Secondary characters from the first film return and in many ways make more of an impact, plus those added are distinct enough to keep things interesting.
The best stuff comes from the three leads spontaneously interacting with one another, and overall this is another fun, light-hearted film that is very much directed to a more mature audeince.
