The Boss (2016)

It felt like this character was conceived for a Saturday Night Live skit and this movie was best during the bits that were mini-sketches rather than trying to be part of the whole ridiculous story. For example, there’s a scene where McCarthy is in a contraption to hold her lips back so she can get her teeth whitened and she’s still talking just as much as she would if there weren’t a contraption in her mouth. That was funny. Using bra straps to control Bell’s boobs as though they were marionette blobs? That was funny too.

The movie as a whole, though? Meh.
