A Chefa

Melissa McCarthy is hilarious... This movie is better than its rating. Yes there are things that would never happen and people gripe about that but this isn't a freaking documentary it's a comedy. It's supposed to be a bit ridiculous. It's a good movie if you want a laugh. I'm looking forward to the next one written by her and Ben Falcone.

Michelle Darnell (Melissa McCarthy) was rejected by adoptive parents many times and learned to not rely on families. She becomes a hard-nosed successful businesswoman. Darnell gets 5 months for insider trader after being outed by bitter ex Renault (Peter Dinklage). Her long-suffering assistant Claire Rawlings (Kristen Bell) finally quits. When she gets out of prison, she has nobody and nowhere to stay. She guilts Claire's daughter Rachel for a place to crash. She goes to Rachel's Dandelion meeting and decides to start the competing Darnell's Darlings to sell Claire's brownies. She convinces Claire to date Mike Beals (Tyler Labine) and quit her job under bad boss Dana Dandridge (Cecily Strong).

Some of the jokes work well and some others are awkwardly bad. There are plenty of stupid pratfalls that aren't smart enough. Melissa needs to trim back those bad jokes that aren't working. She and husband Ben Falcone need help to sharpen up their material. The basic premise has good bones. They have the lovely Kristen Bell. The little girls are cute and the girl fight is hilarious. Melissa and Ben have a tendency to inject bad low-grade comedy in all the wrong places. This is better than some of their other comedies and this could have worked much better than this.

Im reading the reviews here and what I gathered was that people who gave this movie 1 / 2 / 3 are somehow disturbed with the fact that it is done by a married couple, it is starred by a full figured woman who is married to the director and that it has majority of women. When men slap and kick each other in the movies nobody bats an eye. I believe that if the child gets in the movie business the parents are quite well aware of the pros and cons and they study the lines with their kids so its not Melissa's fault there. Shes a writer not a priest. There is a "just for gags" program on TV. Its stupid as hell but it makes people laugh. It's a comedy for goodness sake not a tfue story. As for the reviewer who told us to watch his review on YouTube... I wouldn't watch it even if you can pay me. Its not possible to sit for more than an hour in the movie and give it 1. Its not an ebay product. You only give it a 1 if you stayed for 5 minutes and felt it wasnt for you. This is a great comedy. Well done. Having said that... there were few mistakes like when Michelle told Claire that she had a cellmate for the last six months when really she was arrested for 5 months.

What's with these critics who tell people not to watch certain movies? What the hell is that? Make your own conclusions yes... but dont tell people not to watch the movie just because you hated it. That's what shows that it goes deeper than the movie. I call that hating...

Melissa McCarthy strikes again – this time at a rival troupe of juvenile sweets peddlers known as the Dandelions. The Boss was laugh out loud hilarious, but also heartfelt. The bizarre cast of characters in this film provided for some absurd and funny moments, but the best scenes were between Darnell and her newest protégé – the young Rachel, who quickly became like family to the money hungry Darnell. McCarthy always excels at physical comedy, but it was her character's confidence and quick wit that carried the film. Overall, I simply loved this film.

"I don't need anyone. I'm going straight to the top." Michelle Darnell (McCarthy) has had a hard life. Living in and out of orphanages growing up hardened her and made her the woman she is today; one of the richest and most powerful women in the world, and former prison inmate. When she is released she has nothing and no one to turn to, except her former assistant Claire (Bell). Willing to accept her in for a few days but after Michelle takes Claire's daughter to her Girl Scout meeting everything changes. After watching the last few McCarthy movies I have said that she only has a few movies left before her humor starts to get played out. After watching this one I realize that I am wrong. She is as hilarious as ever in this one and is one of her best movies she has ever made. She really lets loose in this movie and says and does things that are different then her usual unsure of herself characters, and it works. There is something about her that is just so likable that even when she plays a character like this you can't help but laugh with, and not at. Overall, one of the funniest and smartest comedies I have seen in a while. I laughed out loud many many times watching this, and I watched by myself. McCarthy is a comic genius and I can't wait till her next movie. Watch this today, unless you offend easy. I easily give this an A…a very very hilarious A.
