Laugh-a-minute with McCarthy
Melissa McCarthy upsizes her comedy quotient yet again in The Boss.

THE Boss has nothing to do with Bruce Springsteen and everything to do with Melissa McCarthy, an unlikely star with an outsize talent for making people laugh and selling movie tickets. Since her breakthrough role in Bridesmaids (2011), McCarthy has embarked on a feminist mission to conquer the comedy world.
Despite some less-than-stellar efforts (Tammy, 2014), she's cleaned up at the box office and the hits (The Heat, 2013 and Spy, 2015) just keep on coming.
Her latest endeavour, directed by Ben Falcone (McCarthy's husband, who also directed Tammy, and written by Falcone, McCarthy and Steve Mallory), is largely indistinguishable from the others and involves nothing more complicated than putting her in front of the camera and letting her do her comic schtick.
