In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

I don't like to write long reviews analyzing a movie, either it works for me or it doesn't, basically. I busted out laughing several times during this movie, it worked for me. The boob scene was hysterical. Sure, some parts are silly and crude, but it's lighthearted and ends well like movies should. I only wrote a review because of the amount of 1 star reviews ripping it. Lighten up Francises.

Melissa McCarthy stars in "The Boss" from 2016, also starring Kristen Bell and Peter Dinklage.McCarthy plays a tycoon businesswoman Michelle Darnell, who loses everything when she's found guilty of insider trading and goes to prison. When she is released, she has nowhere to go, so she hits up her ex-assistant Claire (Bell) for a place to stay. Claire has a young daughter, Rachel, and Claire asks Michelle to take her to a Young Dandelions meeting - the Young Dandelions are similar to the girl scouts. There, she gets the idea to recruit some of the Dandelions and go into business selling Claire's fabulous brownies. It takes off, with Claire as 50% partner. But an ex-boyfriend and enemy (Dinklage) is anxious to ruin Michelle yet again.I have no problem with swearing, no problem with sex, but if there's one thing I have no tolerance for is vulgarity. And the humor here is vulgar and geared to the lowest common denominator. Why someone as talented as Melissa McCarthy does this type of film is beyond me. She's better than this - either she or Hollywood don't think so. Is it because she's overweight? If so it's even more insulting.I'm a huge fan of Kristen Bell's and wish this had been a better role for her.There were some funny slapstick scenes and the premise was good, as was the cast, but the script was bad. And tasteless.

I used to like Melissa McCarthy. But she is just making movies with lousy scripts these days. Not funny. Not clever. I just don't understand how an actress with the comic talents of Melissa McCarthy keeps getting sucked into dross like this. The sad thing is that the premise of this script could have been quite funny, but it just keeps going for 'gross' in every scene.
