Speaking of the plot Exhibit C: This story is conducive to comedy as well as being socially relevant. Newcomers Chris Pine and Christoph Waltz also bring a welcome exaggerated Big Business brass ballsiness element to the film's central plot that just makes the story that much more relevant. Jennifer Aniston also returns as her sex-addicted dentist from the first film and gets to appear in the funniest scene of Horrible Bosses 2. Also back is Jamie Foxx as the criminal consigliere, 'Motherf***er Jones.' While this character did nothing for me the first go-round, this time I find myself enjoying his dimwitted power plays and Big Gulp inflected sit- downs. Sudeikis and Day get to play human cartoon characters the entire film and it simply just works. Bateman shines brightest and that speaks volumes on his talent considering he's been playing variations of this role for nearly his entire career without the shtick showing any signs of wear вЂ“ at least as far as this film is concerned.

Reprising their roles as Nick (Jason Bateman) the straight man, Kurt (Jason Sudeikis) the womanizer, and Dale (Charlie Day) the fool, the three stars of this film bounce lines off one another like bumper cars to increasingly hilarious effect. That leads me to Exhibit B: This cast is simply fantastic.

This time around, while we're still very much in the Hangover spirit of storytelling (I use that term in the loosest of senses), the film is much more reliant upon the comedic chemistry between our three leading men. The first Horrible Bosses was more comparable to The Hangover films in that a group of white guys get in over their head and endure insane circumstances, each one more outlandish than the one before it. One gag in particular regarding the use of walkie-talkies nearly made me choke on my popcorn specifically because of how well it was executed through dialog alone.

Part of that is a result of just letting a joke breathe and flourish naturally via timing and delivery. Exhibit A: The jokes are solid and, in most cases, funnier than the first film's.

It is with this mindset that, upon seeing the trailer for Horrible Bosses 2 for the first time, I loudly sighed in my theater seat and thought to myself, 'Why the hell are they doing this?' And despite the actual answer being EASY MONEY, after actually seeing Horrible Bosses 2, I can honestly make a case that maybe вЂ“ just maybe вЂ“ these people actually wanted to get together again and make a funny movie for the sake of comedy. At this point I'm almost as tired of having that discussion as I am seeing the subject at hand play out in real life, over and over again. Hollywood's strategy of wringing every last ounce of life out of a successful idea via sequels, prequels, spin-offs and the 'partification' of films has been discussed to death.
