4/10
Horrible is right.
8 December 2014
The funniest thing about the movie were the closing credits, and I spent the entire film hoping they'd arrive soon.

The jokes were unfunny and repetitious, figuratively poking you in the ribs with every line to say "This is funny. It is. It's really funny). The characters are too stupid to care about. The only one who was funny was Kevin Spacey, and he was in the film for about three minutes. Otherwise, it made you long for the subtle and clever humor of the Ritz Brothers.

Jason Bateman gamely tries to hold the thing together, but both Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day play characters who are just too stupid to remember to breathe and the dull script thinks plugging in a few outrageous concepts without humor makes comedy.

The first movie was only mediocre, but it had some laughs in it. This wastes talent on an immense scale.
