Critics Consensus

Horrible Bosses 2 may trigger a few belly laughs among big fans of the original, but all in all, it's a waste of a strong cast that fails to justify its own existence.

Stephen Romei

The Australian

A foul-mouthed, sex-obsessed immature comedy that pushes the boundaries of decency. So, all in all, not a bad Friday-night flick after a hard week's work.

Rated: 2.5/5

Horrible Bosses 2 is more of the same, yet less.

Times (UK)

A problem arises with the sequel, however, when the bosses have already been vanquished in the previous movie.

If you laugh once during the 108-minute runtime, that will have been more than this critic.

Rated: 1/4

There are more laughs on the average job application than in this workplace "comedy." It's misogyny masquerading as humour, with unlikeable characters and an inane premise that diminishes in interest as the running time increases.

Rated: 1/5

Gone With The Twins

The layered, long-winded conversations this time around are recited in such an interruptive routine that jokes are regularly lost in noise.

Rated: 6/10

I'm not sure what movie the people that gave a 1 star rating were watching, but I sure laughed a lot. Seriously, it's like they thought this was going to be something other than what it was supposed to be. It's a cornball comedy, and it's a great one.

If you love comedy this has it. There is no story much, but the writing is nonstop funny.

A comedy only for the open-minded viewer with a crude &/or sexual sense of humor. Since that describes me, obviously I am fine with it. It is not as good as the original, but so what?

I couldn't even make it through the whole movie. The three main characters spend 95% of the movie incessantly arguing over each other, that you can't quite make out what they are saying and have difficulty following the storyline. Of the few instances I could make out what they are saying, it was utter stupidity, and not even the comical kind. I feel as though I've lost IQ points simply by being exposed to it.

Baron V

Frustratingly dumb. There are some funny moments, but the characters' stupidity is past the point of believable, which just makes it frustrating to watch. When you need your characters to constantly do impossibly dumb things in order to keep the plot moving forward, you are a bad writer. Also, they spend so much time loudly bickering with each other that it gets incredibly annoying. Waste of a cast of talented actors.
