4/10 - disappointing mockumentary that wasted its stars' (two of my faves: Melissa and Niecy) potential

I'm going to admit right away that this movie will seem not funny to some. If you like the dry awkward humor of movies like napoleon dynamite or drop dead gorgeous you'll like this.

My favorite was niecy nash as "ladybug" and wendi mclendon-covey as "pauline".

One thing i really didn't like is you could definitely tell they used ALL of the footage they had of melissa McCarthy because she had gotten famous. Her part was stupid and it went on for way too long. (i guess on the bright side people who don't understand why things are edited, "dropped on the cutting room floor", or doesn't make it into the movie this'll perfectly illustrate why.)

overall the movie got more laughs out of me than other comedies that have same kind of star power.

Its cute, its funny and it has its own charm.

Enjoy!

Completely disagree with the dismemberment of this title.....Being watched all so wrong.....The intended projection is perfectly performed. Let your allegiance of logic disperse. Excellent loved it....Would give it a 7.6 but trolls trash it so a 10 to realize reality and balance the poor ratings.

I enjoyed this movie a lot and love all the actors!

It's only funny if you enjoy dry dumb humor. It is a bit stretched out/ slow but I didn't mind because it's a mockumentary and they usually have that weird pace.

I've seen a lot of bad reviews because they go in expecting something more.

So to lay it out for people who are questioning if they want to watch it: You have to keep an open mind!

If you don't like dumb humor don't watch. If you don't like a movie that feels like a bunch of weird skits forced together don't watch. If you enjoy watching wacky mockumentaries with awesome comedians then give it a try!

It is just a silly relaxing movie to pass time with I think it got released after Melissa McCarthy got famous...she is just a guest star and shouldn't be the main star on the poster
