The Boss

Watch Your Assets

You ever go to a movie that you know nothing about and are pleasantly surprised about how good it is? The Boss was like that for me.

I went into it not knowing anything about it other than a single watch of the trailer. In fact, I had never even heard of the movie until I saw the trailer. And I pretty much decided I needed to see it, because when isn't a Melissa McCarthy movie funny?

Definitely not this one, that's for sure. McCarthy was hilarious as usual, and I feel like that made this movie. The plot, while being good, was also kinda predictable. An industry mogul is sent to prison, what do you think she's going to do when she gets out? She's going to try and get back in the game. And (minor spoiler alert), in this case at least, she would succeed in a hilarious way.

The characters were fairly well written, with no characters that were superfluous. Everyone had their part to play and, at least in my opinion, they all did that quite well. I did have to chuckle at Peter Dinklage's character quite a bit too. Heck, I didn't even realize he was in the movie until his initial scene, but I'm glad he was in the movie.

Melissa McCarthy's The Boss gets 7/10 stars

The movie was good. Good enough to warrant a second or even third watchthrough I think. There was comedy. There was action. There was even a bit of romance for the ladies to enjoy. Overall, I say 7/10 stars. If you get a chance to see this in the theaters, I would recommend it.
