Horrible Bosses 2 has ditched its predecessor's universality, but kept its amiable good will.
Daniel D'Addario, TIME Magazine

Three years after its nauseating - yet popular - original installment, "Horrible Bosses 2" reunites the cast members in a juvenile, generic and outrageously funny sequel.
Colin Covert, Minneapolis Star Tribune

It's the small, tossed-off moments-Bateman's deadpan mugging, Day's frenzied cluelessness, and Sudeikis' smarmy one-liners-that land the best.
Chris Nashawaty, Entertainment Weekly

The follow-up's improbable story involves kidnapping -- 9 to 5, anyone? -- but the worst ransom will be paid by the bilked popcorn munchers who have to sit through this inane bungle of a budding cinematic franchise.
