The Boss (2016)

Lack of good storyline.

This is a coming of age storyline that you've seen in one form or another for decades. It takes a truly unique voice to make yet another one worth watching.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

It’s not bad or unwatchable but despite the amplitude of the spectacle, the end result is underwhelming.

Does it have some funny bits? Yes.... is it feasible? No.... does it promote narcissistic women? Yes.... does it promote child labour and child voilance? Yes..... does it promote gender inequality with double standards? As in a powerful women sexually harassing a employee with her ordering him to take his top off and him doing so? Yes in deed it does. This movie does little for the youth of today and sets some not so funny exsamples of what it deems as ok human behaviour. McCartneys character is extremely loud and kept waking me up when I feel a sleep. McCartney has truly found her range of obnoxiously load and often narcissistical characters that the film industry try's to make funny or lovable.

I've just finished watching this and really enjoyed it. I was looking for a film that wouldn't go on for too long and that would'nt need me to engage my brain and that's exactly what I got. It was funny, sweet, mostly predictable and much better than I was expecting. I thought Melissa McCarthy was great in it and that she and Kristen Bell had great chemistry.Definitely worth a watch if you're just looking for a funny, lighthearted film!

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 strikes again – this time at a rival troupe of juvenile sweets peddlers known as the Dandelions. The Boss was laugh out loud hilarious, but also heartfelt. The bizarre cast of characters in this film provided for some absurd and funny moments, but the best scenes were between Darnell and her newest protégé – the young Rachel, who quickly became like family to the money hungry Darnell. McCarthy always excels at physical comedy, but it was her character's confidence and quick wit that carried the film. Overall, I simply loved this film.
