Old and new laughs in Horrible Bosses 2

Despite terrible reviews, I enjoyed Horrible Bosses 2. The style is the same as the first one, so if you liked it, then you will like the sequel. Though it has a thin plot, and the only link to the first film is the characters (really has nothing to do with bosses this time around), it features the same kind of snappy dialogue and off-the-cuff banter that made the first film so entertaining.

This time around, the trio of friends finds themselves in tight financial traits. In order to bail themselves out, they decide to kidnap the son of a wealthy businessman. The tables are turned when the son turns out to be nuts, and starts running the scam himself. In a similar twist as the first film, things go from bad to worse until it all comes out ok in the very end. There are some recycled jokes here, but enough new material to keep you laughing.
