Kristen Bell plays the sweet character to McCarthy’s selfish one Claire is a single mother struggling to make ends meet after Michelle is sent to prison, and makes the character warm and gentle. As well as this, McCarthy obviously has fun with playing a slightly darker, more selfish character, and this works well for the movie. McCarthy is on top form as Michelle Darnell, with script and improvisations on set working well together, and some of the trademark awkwardness we have come to expect from McCarthy’s characters being toned down. If this sounds like standard McCarthy comedy fare, that’s because it is in some ways, but it is also the best comedy we have seen from the actress in some time, perhaps because she obviously revels in playing the villain for once. So begins ‘The Boss’, with McCarthy lowered from the ceiling at a pop star-esque conference before rapping and dancing with T-Pain. THE VERDICT: “My name is Michelle Darnell, and I am the wealthiest woman in America”.
When former flame Renault (Peter Dinklage) turns her into the police for insider trading, Michelle must find a way to get back to the top, with the help of her former assistant Claire’s (Kristen Bell) skills at baking. THE PLOT: In and out of foster care, Michelle Darnell (Melissa McCarthy) had a troubled childhood, but reinvented herself as a success guru in her adult life. Starring Melissa McCarthy, Kristen Bell, Peter Dinklage, Annie Mumolo, Kristen Schaal.
