The first Horrible Bosses jarred with me a bit, and I couldn’t help feeling that Colin Farrell, in the role of one of the bosses, showed that comedy is not among his many talents. Maybe I needed time to adjust, because this sequel is fast, outrageous, incorrect and very funny. Jennifer Aniston’s sex-addicted dentist and Kevin Spacey’s corporate bully have been brought back in smaller, better-judged cameos, leaving more space for the three squabbling amigos themselves: the hapless Nick, Kurt and Dale, played by Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day. Their material is great, as are their latest scenes with the appalling MF Jones (Jamie Foxx). Now they want to be free of the tyranny of bosses and to work for themselves, marketing their own unfortunate invention, a “shower buddy”. But they find that capitalism is the most horrible boss of all, because they are in thrall to a sinister father-and-son team of investors – Christoph Waltz and Chris Pine – whose startup cash they need. A crazily farcical plot delivers big comedy dialogue scenes and gags. It’s silly, but irresistible.
