The Boss (2016)

Very best movie i ever watch

It's no definitive masterpiece but it's damn close.

Great Film overall

I like movies that are aware of what they are selling... without [any] greater aspirations than to make people laugh and that's it.

Melissa McCarthy stars in "The Boss" from 2016, also starring Kristen Bell and Peter Dinklage.McCarthy plays a tycoon businesswoman Michelle Darnell, who loses everything when she's found guilty of insider trading and goes to prison. When she is released, she has nowhere to go, so she hits up her ex-assistant Claire (Bell) for a place to stay. Claire has a young daughter, Rachel, and Claire asks Michelle to take her to a Young Dandelions meeting - the Young Dandelions are similar to the girl scouts. There, she gets the idea to recruit some of the Dandelions and go into business selling Claire's fabulous brownies. It takes off, with Claire as 50% partner. But an ex-boyfriend and enemy (Dinklage) is anxious to ruin Michelle yet again.I have no problem with swearing, no problem with sex, but if there's one thing I have no tolerance for is vulgarity. And the humor here is vulgar and geared to the lowest common denominator. Why someone as talented as Melissa McCarthy does this type of film is beyond me. She's better than this - either she or Hollywood don't think so. Is it because she's overweight? If so it's even more insulting.I'm a huge fan of Kristen Bell's and wish this had been a better role for her.There were some funny slapstick scenes and the premise was good, as was the cast, but the script was bad. And tasteless.

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.

If you like Melissa McCarthy, you will like this silly movie. Silly is the operative word here. Not meant to be realistic or dramatic. I enjoyed the performances of lighthearted comedy. Parts are a bit aggressive but not violent. Silly climax, silly plot, silly movie. I didn't love it but I liked it a lot!

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.
