My review of Horrible Bosses 2 

Overall: 3.0/5

Hey everybody I am doing a quick review of Horrible Bosses 2, which I went and saw on Saturday Night and  I was a really big fan of Horrible Bosses 1. It was a big sleeper hit back in 2011. I was a really excited about the sequel and i have to say I really walked out disappointed. There were a lot of laugh out loud moments in the first movie. Even though you have to give them credit for coming up with a different concept for horrible bosses 2. So it's basically centered around the 3 main characters who come up with this invention called the shower buddy and their invention is basically stolen by Christoph Pine and Christopher Waltz

And you know those guys want to seek revenge and they've quit their old jobs and they're worried they may not be able to survive and they come up with this kidnapping plot.  And some of the re-occuring cast members from the first one come back. Jennifer Anniston is in this movie as well as Jamie Foxx as well as a few other ones. There are a lot of references to the first movie if you've seen them, but I just didn't find there were any laugh out loud moments And the thing that irked me the most about the movie was Charlie Day and Jason Sudeikis . They were funny in the first movie, but I just found their characters were so dumb and stupid  and it just seemed like it was on purpose it just wasn't believable and for me it had laughs this movie. And I think it's worth seeing when it comes out on DVD or when it's no more in theatres, but I felt like it wasn't as good or anywhere near as good as the first one . I probably give Horrible Bosses a 3/5. Thanks for watching guys and don't forget to hit the subscribe button.

"In at number 1 is The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 with $56 million. Although last week’s big winner retained its top spot, it did fall about 56%, on a holiday weekend no less. Regardless, Mockingjay – Part 1 is doing just fine at the box office, with $225 million domestic and $480 million worldwide. As a matter of fact, the film is already the 7th highest-grossing domestic release of the year.

The number 2 film this weekend is Penguins of Madagascar (read our review) with $25.8 million for the weekend and $36 million since its debut on Wednesday. That’s easily the worst opening for the Madagascar franchise by a substantial margin. Madagascar 3, for example, opened to $60 million back in 2012.

Animated spinoffs are typically a risky venture but Fox and Dreamworks were willing to gamble that the Penguins had enough of a fanbase. Unfortunately, either franchise fatigue or penguin fatigue appears to be setting in.

Coming in at number 3 is Big Hero 6 with $18.7 million. Disney Animation’s latest has grossed $167 million domestic and $224 million worldwide.

Interstellar is the number 4 film with $15.8 million. Although the film has grossed an admittedly solid $147 million domestic, Interstellar is doing huge business overseas. So far, the film has made $395 million internationally, bringing its worldwide total up to $542 million after four weeks.

Rounding out the top 5 is Horrible Bosses 2 (read our review) with $15.7 million for the weekend and $23 million since Wednesday. That’s about half as much as the first film opened to back in 2011 and well under expectations for this weekend.

While the first Horrible Bosses may have been a surprise hit, few would say that it was screaming for a sequel. Clearly, audiences had their fill of the Bateman, Sudeikis, and Day trio.

In at number 6 is Dumb and Dumber To with $8.2 million. The sequel actually fared much better than expected against Horrible Bosses, dropping only 42% from last week. So far, Dumb and Dumber To has grossed $72 million.

Coming in at number 7 is The Theory of Everything (read our review) with $5 million, which brings its total gross up to $9 million. Based on the formative years of Stephen Hawking, this film has been garnering rave reviews across the board, most especially for Eddie Redmayne’s portrayal of the physicist. Look for this one to stick around for a while as awards season heats up.

The number 8 film is Gone Girl with $2.4 million. David Fincher’s adaptation continues to stick around in the top 10 and has grossed $160 million in the process.

Birdman comes in at number 9 with $1.8 million. The film actually saw a slight uptick in grosses this weekend and is now up to $17 million." - http://screenrant.com/horrible-bosses-2-penguins-madagascar-box-office/
