Review of The Boss (2016) by Louisa M — 07 Apr 2016

Melissa McCarthy is one funny lady, so it's really hard to straight-up hate on this movie. Let me be clear: "The Boss" is not a great comedy. On the McCarthy comedy barometer, it's far better than the abysmal "Identity Thief," it's miles ahead of the awful "Tammy," but it's not quite as good as "Bridesmaids" or "Spy.

" There's some genuinely funny stuff in the middle of the movie, but the film's really unamusing start put me in a negative mindset from the get-go. Some of the supposed comedic situations are far from funny, especially in the movie's first 15 minutes.

The first quarter of the movie feels like it's full of excessive lame gags, all desperate attempts to elicit laughs (yeah, it's BAD). FULL REVIEW AT WWW.SCREENZEALOTS.COM.
