A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.
Does it have some funny bits? Yes.... is it feasible? No.... does it promote narcissistic women? Yes.... does it promote child labour and child voilance? Yes..... does it promote gender inequality with double standards? As in a powerful women sexually harassing a employee with her ordering him to take his top off and him doing so? Yes in deed it does. This movie does little for the youth of today and sets some not so funny exsamples of what it deems as ok human behaviour. McCartneys character is extremely loud and kept waking me up when I feel a sleep. McCartney has truly found her range of obnoxiously load and often narcissistical characters that the film industry try's to make funny or lovable.
I used to be a girl scout, and I'm now a business woman. This has become quite the guilty pleasure.There being a minimum, I'll give some further details. This is not a comedy for everyone. Children probably wouldn't be watching this. There is VERY strong language & there are sexual themes through out the movie. It's not subtle. It is vulgar.I would describe this movie's humor similar to that of "Sausage Party", being that if one is easily offended they most likely would not enjoy this movie.Personally however, I think it's delightfully absurd, cheeky, & playfully cantankerous with just the right kind of trashy.
Waste of film Possibly the worst movie i have ever seen stupid approved violence language bad and made to be acceptable Melissa McCarthy is the epitome on NOT FUNNY paid for a movie she stars in so she could be as bad as possible NO sociably redeeming value don't watch this it is truly horrible accept for the young girl who befriends Melissa give her an award for tolerating the supposed comedian and her acting BAN McCarthy from cinema forever I am throwing up
Think Female Donald Trump (if life were accurate and fair) meets Martha Stewart. I don't want to ruin the plot so I won't elaborate beyond that. I will say this about the film, though: Melissa McCarthy is one of the most brilliant comedians of the 21st Century--she's "all in" to her performance and completely believable (and hilarious). If you need a laugh in these dark days of 2017 onward, I strongly recommend this film. It's not realistic, it has formulaic elements, but the production values are great, the actors commit to their roles and it's an enjoyable escape. And McCarthy is superb--as are the rest of the cast members.
