Let's see what the critics had to say!

Stephen Holden, New York Times: "Horrible Bosses 2," one of the sloppiest and most unnecessary Hollywood sequels ever made, isn't dirtier or more offensive than its 2011 forerunner. But it is infinitely dumber and not half as funny.

Betsy Sharkey, Los Angles Times: Make no mistake, despite some well-earned laughs, "Horrible Bosses 2" is not what qualifies as a good movie or even a particularly good R-rated comedy. But there is more to laugh at in "2" than the first, so let's go with less horrible, shall we?

Kyle Smith, New York Post: You can tell the actors knew the script wasn't great...which is why they exhaust themselves gabbling to make things seem gonzo. Their hope is that by acting as giddy as morning-television hosts on the Fratboy Network...the audience will get caught up in the fun. Instead all we feel is desperation.

Claudia Puig, USA Today: This ill-conceived sequel to 2011's entertaining Horrible Bosses is base, moronic, insulting and vulgar. It's also cringingly unfunny.

Peter Bradshaw, The Guardian: A crazily farcical plot delivers big comedy dialogue scenes and gags. It's silly, but irresistible.

Justin Lowe, The Hollywood Reporter: Although not everyone will be giving thanks as this sequel lands on the upcoming holiday weekend, some will certainly seize on the film's familiar casting and relatable situations as reason enough to celebrate.

Tom Russo, Boston Globe: Was "Horrible Bosses" actually sequel-worthy? Sure, Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, and Charlie Day had some loose, likably foolish chemistry as wage slaves plotting to off their workplace tormentors. But the filmmakers seemed to have a little trouble differentiating between raunchy and off-putting.
