Horrible Bosses 2 trailer is part cautionary tale, part orgy invitation

By Adam Rosenberg Published September 5, 2014

Look. Look. If life isn’t going great and your problems are piling up, the thing you don’t want to ever do is kidnap the grown-up son of a wealthy family and ransom him off. That should be common sense, but the characters played by Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jason Sudeikis in Horrible Bosses 2 seem to lack the ability to think rationally.

The latest trailer for the November 26 comedy gives a taste of the shenanigans that are set to ensue when Nick, Dale, and Kurt — Bateman, Day, and Sudeikis, respectively — commit a crime in the hopes of saving their troubled business venture. We suspect that everything’s going to go well for this trio of knuckleheads in the end, but that doesn’t lessen the impact of the cautionary tale. Or the threatening orgy invite from Jennifer Aniston.

Just watch the trailer, okay?
