The Boss Movie Review
Ben Falcone keeps proving to me that he is a horrible writer
and a horrible director. There is nothing about this film that works. Read on
to find out why: We have a female boss by the name of Michelle Darnell was
placed under arrest for Insider Trading. She has just been released and wants
to become something huge, something big and ready to become "America's
sweetheart." All the people she messed over aren't quite willing to
forgive her. Very simple plot.
Melissa Mccarthy is just just plain horrible. We all know that her character is unlikable, but this was beyond a joke. In the movie world if you decide to create a very obnoxious, nasty, mean, and repulsive character...it can work...but the actor/actress playing this character needs to be able to bring something great to the table and by acting greatly and making you appreciate this horrible/unlikable character. Melissa Mccarthy does none of this, and therefor makes it completely outrageous and leaving you in total discomfort for a full 90 mins. Kristen Bell was horribly casted and was just pointless. Peter Dinklage was the only decent thing about this film, and he managed to give us a few chuckles. That's the sign of a good actor. But he's used as the stereotypical midget and we are laughing at his advantage. Again, it just didn't work.
Women and slapstick comedy - a mixture that fails abysmally. And this movie does just that. Nothing worked. It was a horrible combination. I will never watch this again. I disliked Tammy, but this one was even worse! It was just horrible
