The "horrible bosses" are back with a sequel, but it does the film live up to the 2011 original?

The new movie, out Wednesday, stars Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis, Charlie Day, Jennifer Aniston, Chris Pine, Christoph Waltz, Jamie Foxx and Kevin Spacey. In the sequel, Dale, Kurt and Chris decide to start their own company but it doesn't go as planned because of a slick investor and a kidnapping scheme.

At last check "Horrible Bosses 2" had just a 30 percent rating on movie review aggregator site, Rotten Tomatoes, with some critics saying the jokes simply fall flat. Others are calling the movie "inappropriate," "racist" and "politically incorrect."

Take a closer look at what critics say:

Bilge Ebiri of New York magazine writes, "It's not really about bosses or office politics. Its only allegiance seems to be to the law of the sequel: It puts the same characters into a vaguely familiar situation, with diminishing, tepid returns. They should have just called it 2."

Claudia Puig of USA Today says: "Bateman's comic timing and slow burn have slackened into blandly dull reactions, while his partners in crime seem to have grown markedly less intelligent...This sequel is misogynistic and occasionally racist. Edgy, inappropriate humor has its appeal, but 'Horrible Bosses 2' is merely offensive, without the barest minimum of wit."

The New York Times' Stephen Holden calls it "one of the sloppiest and most unnecessary Hollywood sequels ever made," adding, "But it is infinitely dumber and not half as funny. ... The story doesn't even try to make sense. You often have the queasy feeling that the screenplay was improvised on the spot."

New Zealand Security Intelligence Service director Rebecca Kitteridge says she thinks the public can "absolutely have faith" in the SIS being politically neutral.

"The people who work here are absolutely committed to compliance," Ms Kitteridge told ONE News.

Her comments come after her agency was slammed by Inspector-General of Intelligence and Security, Cheryl Gwyn, for its release of "incomplete, inaccurate and misleading" information to John Key's office about a 2011 meeting Mr Goff had with then SIS director Warren Tucker about alleged Israeli spying in Christchurch.

Ms Gwyn said she found "significant failures by the SIS to meet its obligations, both in the release of information and in upholding political neutrality".

"Overall there was a basic failure to provide a full and accurate picture," Ms Gwyn said.

Mr Tucker was found to have made a number of serious errors of judgement which were the principal reason for his staff providing incorrect and incomplete information.

The report goes on to say Dr Tucker also failed to maintain a relationship of trust and confidence with Mr Goff and failed to safeguard the political neutrality of the SIS.

Labour leader Andrew Little says what the report reveals is "a politicisation of one of our most important state agencies".

However, Ms Kitteridge said: "I don't see that as being a widespread or kind of systemic issue."

In the sexually inappropriate and politically incorrect "Horrible Bosses 2," the bumbling workplace underdogs played by Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day are about to try their hand at being in charge. And at times, they are horribly funny.

Being the boss makes for a lot of incredibly idiotic, highly amusing running amok, especially with a nasty new nemesis in Chris Pine, whose eyebrows and sense of entitlement are completely out of control.

Make no mistake, despite some well-earned laughs, "Horrible Bosses 2" is not what qualifies as a good movie or even a particularly good R-rated comedy. But there is more to laugh at in "2" than the first, so let's go with less horrible, shall we?

Directed by Sean Anders, who wrote the screenplay with creative partner John Morris, what "2" does better is play to its sweet spot not the bosses but the beaten-down schlubs beneath them. At least any offense coming from that quarter isn't intentional. They're not dumb as in "Dumb and Dumber," but they're not too bright either.

Nick (Bateman), Kurt (Sudeikis) and Dale (Day) are, however, a much more cohesive comic team this time. Their annoying silly sallies are much snappier. The chemistry between them is good enough to almost make them a modern-day Larry, Curly and Moe albeit more intelligent, more prurient and more attractive.

Kevin Spacey is back as horrible boss Dave Harken, best remembered for his scathing tirades, but he's behind bars and better now that his screaming comes in smaller doses.

Jennifer Aniston reprises Dr. Julia Harris, the R-rated dentist who specializes in sexual assaulting. There's still far too much of her porn dominatrix. Not a wise choice, since the naughty-doc bits never pay off. I'm guessing the implied hospital rape of a comatose male won't draw many laughs, even from the guys who come to see Aniston in a little leather and lace.

Completely inappropriate references are not limited to naughty doc. It must be in the "Horrible" articles of incorporation. As they did in the first, the filmmakers bet heavily on innuendo and politically incorrectness to carry the film when the plotting fails, starting with the opening scenes.

The guys are being featured on a local morning TV show for their new invention it involves a shower and shampoo. They kick things off with what sounds like a racial slur and move right into a demonstration that makes it look as if Dale is giving Kurt a "hand" in the shower.

The riffs are laughable, and I don't mean that as praise. They do, however, serve to lower expectations (assuming they weren't at rock bottom going in), which makes some of what follows seem almost brilliant in comparison.

Politically Incorrect- KLAV 1230 AM (made with Spreaker) - Video

It seems like almost every week theres a comedian who says something politically incorrect and then either apologizes for it, defends it, or leaves it as is while the internet rumbles with righteous anger. And of all the comedians who get flak for the politically incorrect stuff they say, arguably the biggest target is the man who hosted a show literally called Politically Incorrect: Bill Maher.

And on Mahers show last night, Seth Rogen opined on the subject of political correctness weaving its way into the comedy scene and not really finding much at issue there as Maher does.

They were going off a viewer question about why comedy doesnt talk about politics or social issues in the same way it used to. Rogen completely rejected the premise of the question, though Roland Martin pointed out there are plenty of comics who dont dare tread in political waters because of potential backlash.

Rogen said hes never been the brunt of any politically correct mobs, and he made a movie making fun of the rapture. Rogen then took the opportunity to take issue with something comedians do after comments that dont go over well:

I think some people who get labeled as comics who are like, Ooh, the political correct community is condemning me, forget that they also have to be funny. And I think that when your shit is funny, people are much more willing to accept an idea that they themselves might find horribly offensive.:

Maher didnt follow up on Rogens comment, but in the past, he himself has taken issue with politically correct social media-fueled outrage plenty of times in the past.

Seth Rogen: Some Comics Decrying PC Mob Forget They Have to Be Funny

Conrad Black is either so arrogant and ignorant that he considers the opinions of others totally beneath him, or he simply likes to fight so much that he deliberately tries to be as politically incorrect as possible.

He is all of this in his recent book, Rise to Greatness: The History of Canada from the Vikings to the present.

The title is completely misleading. This cannot be a history of Canada when it barely includes First Nations. When it does, Black is mostly negative and dismissive.

I thought we stopped publishing history books which ignored the contributions of indigenous people. Andtexts that called any battle that was won by the Indians a massacre and any won by the whitesa great victory.

First Nations are mostly relegated to three of the early pages of Black's 1,000 page tome (other references to native people are minimal; Big Bear is named, Elijah Harper gets a sentence and Phil Fontaine is completely ignored).

Louis Riel receives more attention but, like the indigenous people who occupy those three pages, it would be better if Black excluded himentirely.His treatment of First Nations is so insulting and condescending and inaccurate, I am surprised there hasnt been a major uproar.

Black describes indigenous religion as superstition. He claims their environmental practices consisted of chasing away all the wildlife or fishing out the lakes and rivers.

Indigenous women were promiscuous to the extreme and Indians were untrustworthy (according to Black, they were the ones who didnt honour treaties).

Black makes broad accusations and sweeping conclusions as if he were there to provide a first-hand account, and he is so cocksure of everything that he writes it like fact.

Black concludes that The Indians were splendid woodsmen and craftsmen but they were a stone age culture that had not discovered the wheel and Indian society was not in itself worthy of integral conservation, nor was its dilution a suitable subject for great lamentation."
