Jason Bateman, Jason Sudeikis and Charlie Day return as three long-suffering friends in this comedy sequel. After enduring some trying experiences with their former bosses, Nick Hendricks (Bateman), Kurt Buckman (Sudeikis) and Dale Arbus (Day) decide to go into business together with their invention of the 'Shower Buddy'. However, their investor (Christoph Waltz) pulls his funding and instead creates his own superior version of their product.

In an attempt to save their business, the trio enlist the help of ex-con Dean Jones (Jamie Foxx) and kidnap and hold to ransom the investor's grown-up son Rex (Chris Pine), who actually seems pleased with the situation. Jennifer Aniston and Kevin Spacey also reprise their roles as the horrible bosses from the previous film
