Spy and Identity Thief, which also starred McCarthy, were better. The Boss could have been a good satire but ends up as ridiculously random. Her hilarious performance rests upon self-mockery with jokes about her weight and appearance. She shows off her gift at improvising scenes. From a teeth-whitening scene where she managed to talk with a dental retractor in her mouth to a scene of the boob-slapping argument between her and Bell, the actress proves once again how talented she is in role like this one. McCarthy owns the film. The Boss is full of amusing jokes introduced by the unstoppable McCarthy. While substituting the traditional male lead in this genre with a female, the comedy bursts with unlimited easy jokes. The uninspired and arbitrary story deals with growing up poor and attaining fame, money and success. There is no need to search for a refined plot. The Boss is an authentic ludicrous comedy, whose script is co-written by McCarthy and her husband Ben Falcone, who also doubles as director. But which direction will she decide to follow: rebuild her empire or finally create a family ready to give her the love she needs? In order to rebrand herself and clear her name, Michelle establishes a new business plan with the help of her hosts. When she gets out, broke and left with no place to stay, Michelle insinuates herself into the life of her former assistant, Claire ( Kristen Bell), and of her daughter Rachel.
Melissa McCarthy stars as Michelle Darnell, a self-made businesswoman, who is sent to prison for insider trading.
