Lumsdal Good , But It Is Overrated By Some

TeenzTen An action-packed slog

Kien Navarro Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

Sarita Rafferty There are moments that feel comical, some horrific, and some downright inspiring but the tonal shifts hardly matter as the end results come to a film that's perfect for this time.

Caglatureray Rally smooth and easygoing and funny. Really liked this one !

MartinHafer If you think that seeing someone playing a nasty, abrasive, selfish jerk who curses non-stop...then this film is for you. As for me, I think the film was missing something most comedies have...a reason to care about the leading character.Melissa McCarthy plays Michelle Darnell, a self-help guru who treats everyone around her like dirt. She's amassed a huge fortune by lecturing, selling books and more....much like a foul-mouthed version of Tony Robbins. However, when she's convicted of insider trading, she's sent to prison. While the sentence isn't very long, when she leaves she learns that pretty much everything she owned has been confiscated. So, she moves in with her old assistant, Claire (Kristen Bell), though there is no conceivable reason why Claire would have anything to do with her...as she's completely repellent and awful and has learned nothing from her ordeal. She's also a god-awful influence on Claire's daughter. What's next and, more importantly, who cares?!If the notion of seeing McCarthy play a god-awful character who constantly curses and acts vulgar, then this film is for you. Some vulgarity can be funny (such as in "Step Brothers")...constant vulgarity and nastiness simply makes you wonder "what were these people thinking???!!!". I thought it was all way over the top and nothing like her sweet film "Spy". I liked "Spy" and liked McCarthy's character. But with "Boss", I found her and her character very easy to hate. The film is occasionally funny...but not enough to make it possible to overlook McCarthy as Michelle. In fact, after a while I tired of all this and just turned it off and found something better...it was nearly over but I just didn't care.

eglg Waste of film Possibly the worst movie i have ever seen stupid approved violence language bad and made to be acceptable Melissa McCarthy is the epitome on NOT FUNNY paid for a movie she stars in so she could be as bad as possible NO sociably redeeming value don't watch this it is truly horrible accept for the young girl who befriends Melissa give her an award for tolerating the supposed comedian and her acting BAN McCarthy from cinema forever I am throwing up

mikasparky Think Female Donald Trump (if life were accurate and fair) meets Martha Stewart. I don't want to ruin the plot so I won't elaborate beyond that. I will say this about the film, though: Melissa McCarthy is one of the most brilliant comedians of the 21st Century--she's "all in" to her performance and completely believable (and hilarious). If you need a laugh in these dark days of 2017 onward, I strongly recommend this film. It's not realistic, it has formulaic elements, but the production values are great, the actors commit to their roles and it's an enjoyable escape. And McCarthy is superb--as are the rest of the cast members.
