Naturally, you know what comes as a result of that. Michelle went from foster home to foster home so, when she finally found success as a cutthroat businesswoman, she put off having a family because 'families are for suckers', as she says. There's nothing about this movie that offers anything new or unique. Though I will admit that it's probable that the way this film came out wasn't the way it was intended to be like when it was first conceptualized. I don't know what it says about a person that can't use their talents properly in a film they co-wrote, but it can't be very complimentary. And this was a movie, like I mentioned, co-written by her and her husband. And Melissa McCarthy is really good here as well, the movie is a vehicle for her after all, but I don't feel that it's a vehicle that makes as good use of her talents as is possible. It's just a shame that the movie isn't great to begin with, because if it was then more people would take notice of how talented Dinklage is at comedy as well as drama. He takes a character that, under anyone else, would've come across as lame and he makes it the most entertaining character in the entire film. This guy has great comedic timing and delivery and I don't think it's a side that a lot of fans of his Game of Thrones work, which is tremendous, ever really get to see.

And another thing, Peter Dinklage is so fucking great at everything he does. About 95% of them come from Peter Dinklage's character.

Which is kind of a shame, because there's some legitimately really funny moments in this film. With that said, while The Boss is a definite improvement over Tammy, it's still not what I would call a good movie. And this is coming from someone who thinks that Melissa McCarthy is supremely talented and the hate that is directed her way is unfairly directed at her weight as opposed to her actual talents as a comedienne and whether she has great timing and delivery (she does). When I think back to Tammy, I think about how bad that movie actually was.

You know, at least this is better than Tammy, Melissa McCarthy's previous movie that she co-wrote with her husband (who also directed).
