Sometimes, it's all about the cast. That comment isn't meant to disparage the scriptwriting of Michael Markowitz, John Francis Daley, and Jonathan Goldstein, who offer their share of amusing situations and snappy one-liners, or the direction of Se...

Horrible Bosses 2 (emphasis on "horrible") is an apt title for this repugnant, unnecessary sequel. Painfully unfunny and unnecessarily long, this movie is the antithesis of its predecessor, the delightfully raunchy Horrible Bosses, which chronicle...
