About this movie

Melissa McCarthy (Bridesmaids, The Heat) stars as Michelle Darnell, a titan of industry who is sent to prison for insider trading. After doing her time, Michelle emerges, ready to rebrand herself as America's latest sweetheart, but not everyone she steamrolled is so quick to forgive and forget. With nowhere to go and no one to scam, Michelle is forced to move in with former assistant Claire (Kristen Bell - Frozen, Showtime's House of Lies) and her young daughter, Rachel. Now at her lowest point, Michelle wastes no time in devising a winner-take-all plan to rebuild her empire. Can she reclaim her status as the No. 1 screwer, or will the love of one family screw her for good? (Original Title - The Boss) - 2016 Universal Studios. All Rights Reserved.

"Forced" doesn't begin to cover it. Boring beyond belief, with very few moments of actual humour. Melissa McCarthy substitutes being loud for being funny.

Peter Dinklage made this for me, would have loved to see more of his character. Mccarthy always holds back a bit in my opinion although has some gems in it but not enough. Not a thinking mans movie but what you see is what you get and its not pretentious in its premise. If you want to zone out for 1.5 hours this does the job. Peter Dinklage - you rock.

Some comedy. Some drama. Storyline is ok. Acting is fine. Bunch of moaners dont be too judgemental. If you like Melissa McCarthy you will still like it ....
