Cinephile No. 467 "Horrible Bosses 2"

Essays
Written By Nathan Box

"Horrible Bosses 2" is a decent sequel unlike most feature films who make a second attempt. Make no mistake though, this movie in no way compares to the originality of the first. Halfway through the film, the characters begin to wear and your nerves. The jokes lose their freshness and the plot gets a little tired. I also think it is never a good sign when a comedy goes to the "cussing well" too many times. It is a red flag to me that they ran out of quality jokes and needed the shock value of bad language to impress the audience. With that being said, there is some humor to be found here. The movie is worth a rainy Saturday on Netflix and a few chuckles, but keep your expectations low and pray there isn't a third movie. 

 

Thanks for entering my world,

Hello! My name is Nathan. I've always believed I would meet that special someone in one of two places; either a record store or a book store. Maybe I need to amend? I moved to Seattle in February of 2011 from Oklahoma City (Try and not hold the Sonics/Thunder thing against me). I knew I wanted to work for a nonprofit and go to grad school. Within a couple of months, I was doing both. During the day, I work as a Fund Developer and Community Relations Manager for a nonprofit in Kent and at night I try to stay as busy as possible volunteering, trying new restaurants, finding hidden bars and exploring Seattle. The past few years has been both terrifying and exhilarating. I have done things on my own I didn’t think were within my capability. I love being outdoors. On any given weekend, I can be found hiking, on a road trip, volunteering, at a museum, seeing a movie (I see a lot of them). I am passionate about nonprofit work. I feel called to leave a mark on this world. Nothing against those who enjoy making tons of money, I just need to know I am making a difference.
