Caught this at the start of the week and thoroughly enjoyed it, but then again I liked the first film.

7/10

Saw this at the new Empire Impact, Leicester Square, thanks to ritamistry. The screen was huge! They asked us where we worked, I think they thought we were Press! There were piles of production notes at the entrance.

Not so much horrible bosses but how to avoid working for one and be your own boss with disastrous consequences. Very silly, the outtakes were hilarious and much funnier than the film. How they keep a straight face when filming this, I do not know! When you analyse each scene, it is actually quite funny, but I think HB1 was much better. 7/10

Seen tonight and it failed to raise even a smirk with me.
As soon as the 3 protagonists appeared on screen I realised that I had no recollection of the original other than on the title, Jennifer Aniston and a dentist. Boy - that film must have really made an impression with me!

First half an hour was just plain boring, then the plot got going and with several quirky unexpected twists and I got into the story. It just wasn't funny. The end-credit out-takes were far better than the whole of the rest of the movie.

Saw this in Hong Kong. Pretty funny. No need to see the first one to get the gist of it. However you wont know how Kevin spacey and Jennifer Aniston fits in to the plot. Out takes good. 7/10

Had a great time at the Manchester screening tonight.

Film was good fun, only seen the first one once, but think its just as good and it was good to see all the FMUKers - I think we had most of the back 2 rows.

Especially good to see r33ceh, maybe the doughnuts that were given out had something to do with it :D

8.5/10 for the film.

We thought this was really funny. Not the type of comedy we normally watch but we were very pleasantly surprised! I was worried that I was laughing too loudly at times! Definitely worth watching! I really want to see the first one now.

I agree, definitely a good crowd in Manchester!

Has Jennifer Aniston had surgery? (I don't want to start rumours! :-) She definitely doesn't need it)

Not as funny as I was expecting but not the worst sequel I have ever seen. My main problem was that it is longer than necessary and the Bateman/Day/Sudeikis scenes are very repetitive. I read that a lot of the dialogue was improvised which is probably why Sudeikis and Day's dialogue became increasingly irritating. 6.5/10.

I thought this was reasonably entertaining, I liked rather than loved the first film and the sequel was in the same ball park quality wise.

No where near as funny as something like '22 Jump Street' but there were just about enough laugh out loud moments to make watching this a worthwhile experience.

Overall it's a decent(ish) comedy with a very likeable cast so gets a 7/10 from me...
