Movie picks: The gang is back in ‘Horrible Bosses 2’

Spend Thanksgiving with this comedy sequel
Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day are back for the sequel to the 2011 hit Horrible Bosses. This time around, the trio decides to launch its own business. However, a slick investor steals their idea, making the gang get back to its criminal comedy roots. The 2011 film was a bit of a surprise hit, earning more than $200 million worldwide against a budget of $35 million. It didn’t hurt that the film was hilarious, featuring great turns from Jennifer Aniston, Jamie Foxx and Colin Farrell. The always nefarious Christoph Waltz and Chris Pine star as the villains here. Early reviews aren’t positive, though. Rated R.
