“The Boss” might have the potential to dethrone “Batman v Superman” this weekend, but that doesn’t mean it’s Melissa McCarthy‘s best movie by a long shot.
Critics are giving the comedy a Rotten Tomatoes score of 19 percent, calling the film something to add to the “pile of mediocrity” and a “catastrophic comic miscalculation,” while one reviewer described McCarthy as “loud and grating and crass and nearly unbearable.”
TheWrap’s film critic Dan Callahan wrote, “On the heels of ‘Tammy,’ ‘The Boss’ suggests that McCarthy really needs to regroup and find a project that she doesn’t have to carry all alone, and with a character that suits her sensibility better.”
