I don't like to write long reviews analyzing a movie, either it works for me or it doesn't, basically. I busted out laughing several times during this movie, it worked for me. The boob scene was hysterical. Sure, some parts are silly and crude, but it's lighthearted and ends well like movies should. I only wrote a review because of the amount of 1 star reviews ripping it. Lighten up Francises.

Didn't even laugh once, plus the final scene when they get the company back is ridiculous. It's disappointing as you expect it to be funny but they litterly have shown all the"funny scenes" in the trailer

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.

A funny light hearted comedy, the casting was well done, all complimented each other. The story plot even though far fetched, but remember it's a comedy, is entertaining. Worth seeing on cable. Melissa McCarthy is entertaining and the out-takes at the end are very funny. Better than other comedies out there.
