It is not long before Michelle along with Claire and her daughter, finds a way to work her way back into a lucrative business but the price she will pay will be the bond of unexpected family love which she is not accustom to.



Reel Talk:

This is another one of your typical Melissa McCarthy films. You get exactly what you have seen and come to expect from her roles. Not saying that this is a bad thing because she is very entertaining and is good for making you laugh with her raw, raunchy, foul mouthed style. It's just her movies are not great, definitely not bad but just good enough to say it is an enjoyable movie. With that being said THE BOSS is a good movie, just silly enough to have you laughing. Not a movie that you would have to rush out to see but would make for a good matinee movie.
