Charlie Day, Jason Bateman and Jason Sudeikis are back to launch their own business. When they get screwed (by Christoph Waltz), they hatch a plan to kidnap his son (Chris Pine). The leading trio still has great comic chemistry and their non-stop banter provides most of the laughs. Jennifer Aniston provides some outrageous moments and Jamie Foxx gets in a few, but the plot and supporting roles take a back seat to the quick-witted leads. It feels like an opportunity for them to go on an extended improvisation, but the brisk pacing keeps it from ever feeling self-indulgent.
