Horrible Bosses 2 is amusing, but second rate comedy, at best.
Horrible Bosses 2 is not a terrible movie, it is neither is it entirely worthwhile. It is funnier than it deserves to be, and much of that is due to some remarkable chemistry, and first rate delivery of second rate material, and maybe a third rate story. I will gladly admit that this movie got […]

However, I cannot turn a blind eye to some significant problems with the story and direction that I saw.
