Michelle Darnell (Melissa McCarthy) who never knew family becomes a major CEO who possess the worst qualities of Suze Orman and Donald Trump combined. As art imitates life, she does a stint in prison for insider trading and loses her empire, forced to start over. Being not liked by everyone, (Be nice to people on the way up...) she finds a home with a former employee (Kristen Bell) who makes great brownies. Renault (Peter Dinklage) is a former vindictive lover who has it in for her.
The theme of the film is about friends as families, as Michelle undergoes a transformation. The film is cliche and hack in writing, although funny in some parts thanks to the delivery ability of Melissa McCarthy. Many scenes simply didn't work that could have worked such as the brownie melee, the martial arts fight, and the boob check scene that lasted pointlessly too long.
This is not as good as "Spy" and certainly not as good as "The Heat," but better than "Tammy."
Guide: F-word. No sex or nudity. Adult talk.
