Directed and co-written by McCarthy’s husband Ben Falcone, who also helmed “ Tammy,” this uneven but occasionally riotous comedy is a step forward from that road-trip slog.ĭecked out in skyscraper-high turtlenecks and a Trump-orange wig, the selfish and abrasive Michelle Darnell could be mistaken for a live-action Krusty the Clown.
Forced to start over after a jail stint, her considerable business acumen and force of will are tested by a partnership with her former assistant ( Kristen Bell) and rivalry with a former lover-turned-enemy ( Peter Dinklage). Melissa McCarthy rages as an emotionally isolated, tyrannical business leader in “ The Boss.” Drawing on real-world figures including Martha Stewart, McCarthy updates one of her early Groundlings characters to create Michelle Darnell, a business mogul, author and motivational speaker who is brought low by an insider-trading conviction.
