Rotten Tomatoes scores aren’t always the best indicator of what comedies are worth seeking out. Some are rightly acclaimed, but others are seemingly “rotten”, like The Waterboy, Wet Hot American Summer, and Step Brothers.
Naturally, Warner Bros was happy enough to green-light a sequel – but despite its original reception, it’s being enjoyed byNetflixviewers across the country.
Horrible Bosses 2 climbs Netflix chart
Horrible Bosses 2 is at number three on Netflix’s top 10 movies in the US. Check out the full chart below:
The sequel picks up three years later, with Nick (Bateman), Kurt (Sudeikis), and Dale (Day) preparing to launch their new business: the Shower Buddy. When they’re approached by father-and-son investors (Christoph Waltz and Chris Pine), their dreams of wealth seem set to come true – but there’s a nasty, underhanded twist, and via an extraordinary set of circumstances, kidnapping seems like a sensible way out of their debt.
Aniston reprises her role as Dr. Julia Harris, the sex-crazed dentist from the first film who tried to ruin Dale’s marriage (and took some rather…problematicphotos of them together). Jamie Foxx also returns as “Motherf**ker Jones.”
It’s currently rated at 35% on Rotten Tomatoes – but Netflix viewers are enjoying it. “Horrible Bosses 2 is slept on so hard,” onetweeted. “Horrible Bosses 2 is hilarious,” a secondwrote. “Why am I just finally watching Horrible Bosses 2?” a thirdposted. “Horrible Bosses and Horrible Bosses 2 are a 10/10 comedy to me. Very high rewatch value. Doesn’t lose anything,” a fourthwrote.
