Worthy Sequel- In Spite of it Under-performing the Original...

I just saw this sequel to the 2011 hit comedy over the weekend, and like it's predecessor, it's a winner! Jason Bateman/Sudeikas and Charlie Day return this time around, attempting to start up their own company, but are swindled by a billionaire (Oscar winner Christoph Waltz), and in order to get back what was rightfully theirs they decide to kidnap his son - Captn Kirk himself, Chris Pine!

Another Oscar winner, Jamie Foxx, returns as *beep* Jones" (LOL) to give advice, and delicious Jennifer Aniston is back- hornier than ever! (gahahahhaaaaa) And yet a third Oscar winner- Kevin Spacey- another of the bosses from the first movie- returns, this time in prison! What can I say- Loved this movie!- laughed all along the way.

I'm just wondering why it didn't do nearly as well as the first movie-?? I guess the premise of the original was kinda like an all-male version of "9 to 5"-??- and so maybe going at it a second time around, may have seemed a little stale for audiences-?? But no matter- I definitely would give this a high recommend if you haven't seen it already...

Before the sequel came out I had a hard time imagining them having enough material to work with. Others may have come to the same conclusion. I'm glad I was wrong. They used more creativity than expected.

I guess the chances of a Horrible Bosses 3 may be low, but I couldn't help wondering what they would do with MF Jones now that he has his Pinkberry businesses. Then I wondered how they would use Spacey and Aniston in the next one. Or maybe none of them will be back and there will be other celebs for the cameos...who knows.

Mag, Darling, you're being a bore.
