Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
Does it have some funny bits? Yes.... is it feasible? No.... does it promote narcissistic women? Yes.... does it promote child labour and child voilance? Yes..... does it promote gender inequality with double standards? As in a powerful women sexually harassing a employee with her ordering him to take his top off and him doing so? Yes in deed it does. This movie does little for the youth of today and sets some not so funny exsamples of what it deems as ok human behaviour. McCartneys character is extremely loud and kept waking me up when I feel a sleep. McCartney has truly found her range of obnoxiously load and often narcissistical characters that the film industry try's to make funny or lovable.
Melissa McCarthy always handles even a bleak movie, and this one is pushing it. With the theme about business and an opportunity to show how someone could make good, the storyline was just too weak. There were some great scenes, but if created properly, this film could have been awesome. I would give it a C+
A funny light hearted comedy, the casting was well done, all complimented each other. The story plot even though far fetched, but remember it's a comedy, is entertaining. Worth seeing on cable. Melissa McCarthy is entertaining and the out-takes at the end are very funny. Better than other comedies out there.
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.
