Review of The Boss

So I decided to go ahead and see this because I was bored. Also I love me some Kristen Bell and who can down Peter Dinklage. I'm not really a big fan of Melissa McCarthy, but she isn't the worst. It's written and directed by Ben Falcone whose only other behind the scenes was the awful Tammy. That itself doesn't get me much hope. Steve Mallory who is usually an extra in Melissa's film has a writing credit here after having no previous experience. Melissa herself also co-writes again after only doing so on Tammy. This does not bode well for this at all. Okay that beginning was a little sad. I don't know if it was really supposed to be funny or if it was a serious part. Damn okay I don't think many business type people are that flashy. In fact I think most would end up boring. I didn't know T-Pain cut his hair! Okay this teeth scene is kind of amusing. These outfits and her hair are just dreadful to look at. Who thought this was okay? That little girl was quick to change her mind about things. That is just wrong on so many levels. Adding a bunch of fowl language doesn't make a movie funny. In fact nothing here has been really all that funny. This could very easily be a kids movie if they cut the language and the crudeness. That street fight was pretty great. The bra scene hahaha. Wow yeah definitely a horrible babysitter. The ending was alright. I was bored through a lot of this though. Not quite as bad as Tammy, but I do wish it wasn't so bland. All the fowl language kind of hindered it. People have already done that fowl mouthed character who is hilarious. From Melissa McCarthy it just felt awkward. Peter Dinklage, Kristen Bell, and Eva Peterson (the tall girl who always wants to fight) were the most enjoyable here. I wouldn't recommend this though unless you like the typical Melissa McCarthy film. I did like the message about family it gives off. Too bad it's not one for the whole family.
