Her script, co-written with director Ben Falcone, is rife with wickedly funny one-liners and comical bad behaviour that derives from either the character’s ignorance or a desire to help. McCarthy is a hoot in The Boss, ruling every scene as the domineering go-getter who has no idea how to behave or connect with others. Her heart is in the right place, if only she knew how to relate to people. Bunking down at Claire’s house, she soon concocts a new scheme for making millions which will empower young girls and secure their future financially.
With no respect for anyone, no home and no friends, she grudgingly turns to her former assistant Claire (Kristen Bell) for help. Once released from prison, Darnell discovers how unliked she is. Forsaking emotions for money, she grows into a self-made millionaire and a showy, money-making inspiration to the masses… until she’s arrested for insider trading and loses everything.
McCarthy is Michelle Darnell, an impossible child to love who grew up in an orphanage. Comedian Melissa McCarthy co-wrote and stars in this wicked little comedy about family, money and bitchy one-liners.
