Like a Boss

It has it funny moments and it's a great message, but it's not that impressive. Tiffany Haddish and Rose Byrne don't have the chemistry needed to pull of this movie off about two best friends since childhood stating a business. Byrne always seemed out of place in this Haddish vehicle and oddly enough Haddish seemed out of place in her own vechicle. It feels like she's holding back what makes everyone want to see her. It's like Haddish at one instead of eleven. Jennifer Cooledge suffers from the same thing. I did not get the full on Coolledge I was going for when I saw her that she was In The flick. Selma Hayek works as the villain but it's only a workable performance she did not make me laugh. Give it up to Billy Porter who tried to steel the scene when he was in it and in some cases he did. I'll say Like A Boss was worth the effort but I'll also say try to catch it when it's on a streaming service.

It's not as bad as many have made out I've certainly seen a lot worse. While the storyline is certainly basic as hell there are still enough genuine laughs in between the basic premise to just about make it work. Will I have forgot about it within a month probably but I did enjoy it whilst it lasted atleast to some extent.

Lifelong best friends Mel (Rose Byrne) and Mia Carter (Tiffany Haddish) have a tiny struggling cosmetic company called Mel & Mia's. They get an investment from cosmetic tycoon Claire Luna (Salma Hayek) but she intends to break up the friends and steal their company.

I really love Byrne and Haddish. They could be a really good comedy duo but they are handcuffed by this clunky premise. It's written like a bad 80's movie. I just want these funny ladies to be in a better movie. They can play friends and they can play enemies. They can be in the bigger group or be Thelma & Louise. What they can't do is fix a bad premise and write their own movie. Maybe they should write their own movie.

I got bored not even halfway through. The movie got predictable and boring. Rose and Tiffany don't have chemistry for two people who are supposed to have been best friends since middle school. I did laugh at a couple jokes but it was mainly unfunny. I couldn't even remember most of the character's names or the name of this movie when I decided to do a review.

I honestly thought that this movie was pretty good.the hate for it is not inderstood.
