And hey, she'll get another shot at the gold in just a few months: That's when we'll finally see her in the big Ghostbusters reboot. Which is fine not every comedy can be Bridesmaids, and again, at least it's not Tammy. Movieguide® is a 501c3 non-profit and all donations are tax-deductible.

#Reviews on the boss movie movie#
In the grand scheme of things, The Boss will be a minor blip in McCarthy's filmography, the sort of movie it's more interesting to dissect than it is to watch. That’s right, the price of one movie ticket is all we need. It does, however, have Peter Dinklage wielding a sword for some reason, if that's what you're into. It doesn't have much to say about capitalism, or business ethics, or female friendship. Mostly, though, it just feels sort of off - not outrageous enough to win points for its daring, not warm enough to really win hearts. The film does have jokes that land, as well as a stacked cast filled with welcome faces - Kathy Bates, Margo Martindale, Cecily Strong and Kristen Schaal among them. That said, it's nice to see the Oscar nominee as a character who's not as one-note grotesque as the title characters she's played in movies like Identity Thief and Tammy it's also nice that her size is never comic fodder here, or even remarked upon at all. It's as if McCarthy and Falcone, who wrote the film's script with Steve Mallory, were worried that going deeper would make their leading lady too unlikeable. We hear a lot about what a shark Michelle is, and how many people in the business world hate her - but we never see her do anything particularly heinous, beyond yelling obscenities at children. McCarthy is engaging as ever throughout, even though Michelle is curiously underdeveloped - especially for a character who's existed nearly as long as the iPod. And yes, Michelle gradually realizes that money isn't as important as love. Yes, there's a rival troop led by an uptight stick-in-the-mud yes, the members of "Darnell's Darlings" are a ragtag group of misfits. This film about a disgraced businesswoman trying to reinvent herself isn't actively, confidently, exuberantly bad, in a way that engages with you and forces you to react. That's not saying much, because it is the worst kind of bad movie. Upon release, she learns that she's lost all of her assets and status, which leads her to seek refuge with her old assistant, Claire.įrom there, the movie basically turns into Troop Beverly Hills, but with more cursing and a corporate intrigue subplot : Inspired by Claire's daughter, Michelle starts a for-profit Girl Scouts clone. 'The Boss,' a comedy starring Melissa McCarthy and directed by her husband, Ben Falcone, is more interesting to talk about than it is to watch.
companies? - gets busted for insider trading and, after the universe's fastest trial, serves the universe's quickest sentence. Our story begins when Michelle, a vaguely defined billionaire - she owns.
