Like a Boss

Imagine Bridesmaids, but like... 10x worse? Actually, scratch that, Bridesmaids is too good to be compared to this mess. There are some funny moments, but for the most part it's a cringe-fest with forced sexual jokes and unlikable characters. Throw it on in the background when you're looking for a comedy that you don't need to pay attention to.

This is the story of two life-long friends Mia and Mel that are running a cosmetics company. Though they are doing well online, their on site sales are not great and they are running deep in the red. Enter Claire Luna, a giant in the business world that launches an evil plan to wrest control of the company from the friends.

This is a story that has been done a lot and also a lot better, however, I laughed a lot. I almost skipped it because of the low rating it has gotten on here. I found quite a bit to like here and though I probably will never watch it again, I do not regret that I did rent it.

There is nothing new here, but it is still funny. I would say to give this a chance.

It has it funny moments and it's a great message, but it's not that impressive. Tiffany Haddish and Rose Byrne don't have the chemistry needed to pull of this movie off about two best friends since childhood stating a business. Byrne always seemed out of place in this Haddish vehicle and oddly enough Haddish seemed out of place in her own vechicle. It feels like she's holding back what makes everyone want to see her. It's like Haddish at one instead of eleven. Jennifer Cooledge suffers from the same thing. I did not get the full on Coolledge I was going for when I saw her that she was In The flick. Selma Hayek works as the villain but it's only a workable performance she did not make me laugh. Give it up to Billy Porter who tried to steel the scene when he was in it and in some cases he did. I'll say Like A Boss was worth the effort but I'll also say try to catch it when it's on a streaming service.

It's not as bad as many have made out I've certainly seen a lot worse. While the storyline is certainly basic as hell there are still enough genuine laughs in between the basic premise to just about make it work. Will I have forgot about it within a month probably but I did enjoy it whilst it lasted atleast to some extent.

Is the film supposed to be funny? I did not laugh at all. It is flat, dull and offensive. If the film was trying to recreate some "Mean Girls" type of meanness, then it did not succeed.
