Lady Business

Incomprehensible mess. Crude and over the top with comedy elements veering more towards horrific than comedic. Choppy pacing. Characters only act as stereotypes. Talented cast gone to waste.

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.

This is the story of two life-long friends Mia and Mel that are running a cosmetics company. Though they are doing well online, their on site sales are not great and they are running deep in the red. Enter Claire Luna, a giant in the business world that launches an evil plan to wrest control of the company from the friends.

This is a story that has been done a lot and also a lot better, however, I laughed a lot. I almost skipped it because of the low rating it has gotten on here. I found quite a bit to like here and though I probably will never watch it again, I do not regret that I did rent it.

There is nothing new here, but it is still funny. I would say to give this a chance.

Great cast, a director I've enjoyed in the past: what happened here? Flat and uninspired filmmaking, and a lazy comedy.

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.
