Horrible Bosses 2

Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jason Sudeikis are back again for another installment in Horrible Bosses 2.  The good news is that these guys still have that great chemistry and that it quite apparent that these guys are having fun making these films.  Movies about White guys who find themselves disenfranchised are funny, but like it's counterpart in the subsequent Hangover movies, it suffers from an overkill of the trio in nearly every scene that begins to get a bit stale with an overkill of Day and Sudeikis to Bateman's straight man.  It certainly helps to have the recurring characters of Jamie Fox, Jennifer Aniston, and Kevin Spacey to round out the cast, and newcomers Christoph Waltz and Chris Pine are a great addition. Yet Horrible Bosses 2 does nothing to develop these 3 guy's characters individually and seems to get away from what the original concept of what the films are suppose to be about all about with a preposterous kidnapping plot that never really feels real.
