Monkey King, The
In a vibrant fusion of action and adventure, "Monkey King, The" introduces audiences to the legendary tale of the Monke...
After their disastrous attempts to get even with their employers in Horrible Bosses, the hapless trio of Nick, Dale, and Kurt are back and determined to finally be their own bosses. Played by Jason Bateman, Charlie Day, and Jason Sudeikis, the friends launch a seemingly foolproof business venture with a revolutionary product. Their dreams of entrepreneurial success, however, are brutally crushed by a slick and ruthless investor, portrayed by Christoph Waltz, and his charismatic son, played by Chris Pine, who swindle them out of their company. Faced with financial ruin and desperate for revenge, the three hatch a new, even more ill-conceived plan: not murder this time, but kidnapping. Seeking guidance from the unorthodox criminal consultant Motherf***er Jones, reprised by Jamie Foxx, and dodging the aggressive advances of Dale's former boss, Dr. Julia Harris (Jennifer Aniston), they plunge headfirst into another chaotic criminal misadventure. This raucous R-rated sequel, directed by Sean Anders, delivers the same blend of escalating panic and darkly hilarious misfortune as the friends discover that being the boss might be the most horrible job of all.
