In Theaters: November 28th, 2014

There are TWO wide releases this weekend . . . and because it's a Holiday weekend they are actually BOTH coming out on Wednesday.  So the title should actually read "In Theaters: November 26th, 2014."  But we don't care enough to change it.

Horrible Bosses 2 (Wednesday Release)

I was living under a rock when the first Horrible Bosses came out so I had to watch the trailers for both of them to know what I was talking about.  I just did that.

This one is a comedy about three entrepreneurs who get themselves into financial trouble when they invest half a million dollars to fill an order and the order is then cancelled.  In the previous film they resorted to murder to solve their problems so expect similar ideas for solutions to float around in this one.

Writer/director Sean Anders is known for a variety of other raunchy R-rated comedies - with the notable exception of the first Horrible Bosses.  So even if you liked the first one, proceed with caution.

Horrible Bosses 2 is rated R for strong crude sexual content and language throughout.

Penguins of Madagascar (Wednesday Release)

I have never seen a Madagascar movie all the way through.  I'm pretty confident there are three of them . . . checking . . . okay yes there are three of them and I've never seen one.  But from the parts I have seen these penguin characters are the funniest and most interesting characters to watch.  For some reason I am completely willing to believe this movie would be pretty enjoyable!

Benedict Cumberbatch is in it, for all you Benny Batch fanatics.

It will be far more family friendly than Horrible Bosses 2 anyway, that's for sure.  I think it looks good.  Maybe I'll sneak off to the movies this weekend and see it.

Penguins of Madagascar is rated PG for mild action and some rude humor.

UPDATE: Last weekend I actually did sneak off to see Mockingjay and I liked it!
