Review of The Boss (2016) by Thequietgamer — 24 Aug 2016

Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone's follow up to Tammy doesn't break any new ground for it's comedic talent. This is still very much a vehicle for McCarthy's vulgar brand of humor. The only difference is that it often dives into absurdist humor that clashes rather awkwardly with the regular, grounded tone of the plot setup.

Yes, the humor is very much McCarthy. Admittedly that means there isn't much more to say. For her fans it's filled with a lot of laughs and chuckles, although there are moments that fall short. For those who aren't fans, yeah, don't watch. She isn't going to win you over here.

Overall it's a funny McCarthy movie. The plot's a bit jumbled, but a lot of the humor is good. The movie also treats us to a memorable Peter Dinklage performance. A decent comedy that still isn't likely to appeal to anyone other than McCarthy fans. At least those fans should be amused here. I know I was.
