Despite all of the negative fan backlash, this is an enjoyable film. While it is not even close to the train wreck that was predicted, this still can’t fill the shoes of the original “Ghostbusters.” The cast is what holds the movie together. The leads are all likable and have good chemistry. There’s even some… Read More »
Similar to the first film, hit-or-miss jokes tend to force the plot to take a backseat. The plot itself is fine, and is more interesting than the original’s love story. However, the execution is flawed. Too much is focused on throwing as many vulgar jokes out there and hoping that at least some of them… Read More »
Fans of the first film should enjoy returning to these characters and the film’s vulgar humor, although the convoluted plot makes things less enjoyable. The movie makes no attempt to explain what happened in the first “Horrible Bosses,” so those who didn’t see it will be at a disadvantage. The returning cast members once again… Read More »
Overall, a bit bland, with only a few laugh out loud moments. This is yet another comedy ruined due to the best bits being shown in the commercials and trailers. As soon as they set up the joke, you already know what the punchline will be. On the other hand, if the film was funny… Read More »

While showing hints of the same comedy chops that made his father famous, he is asked to play somewhat of a… Read More »
Generally amusing, but never generates many laughs. Cameron Diaz’s Annie and Jason Segel’s Jay have good chemistry together. They both come off as likable and relatable. Their interactions generate some moments of realistic humor, that while not laugh-out-loud funny, feel natural and true-to-life. Most of the other characters, particularly Rob Lowe’s Hank, come off as… Read More »

In fact, there is a recurring joke in the film about the repeated storylines. The movie itself come very close to breaking the third wall on multiple occasions, and borders… Read More »
Pretty solid comedy. The concept of “real” actors facing the Apocalypse could’ve failed easily, but with the cast of this move, it’s works perfectly. Everybody plays a funny caricature of themselves, with Michael Cera an early standout. There’s a bit of a jarring shift in tone when all Hell breaks loose, which also removes most… Read More »
