What good does she bring to this movie exactly? Well, she doesn't fail bring on some occasional laughter enough to distract you from the thinly written script, and her comedic chemistry with Kristen Bell works, but the jokes don't always hit home.

For the past several years, McCarthey has proved her gift of comedic talent, and this movie does not fail to show it, but she certainly doesn't embrace her full potential in her smart-mouthed role here. Upon release, Michelle stuck on the streets with her assets wiped clean, her home on foreclosure, and with nobody to turn to but Claire and her daughter who move her into their house in attempt to get her back on her feet. After a botched interview with a television personality, Michelle is arrest for insider trading and sent to prison for six months. In the process, she's made enemies with her former lover Renault (played by Peter Dinklage) after taking his position as manager, and he has vowed revenge against her ever since. In this film, McCarthy plays Michelle Darnell, a chairwoman of a billion dollar company with her best friend Claire (played by Kristen Bell), a single mother of a pre-teen daughter Rachael (played by Ella Anderson), working by her side. This film marks her second collaboration with her husband director Ben Falcone, the man behind the critically hammered 'Tammy' which starred McCarthy as the titular character. She has often stolen the show in films directed by Paul Feig, 'Bridesmaids' and 'The Heat' to be more specific, but seems to slop in other roles.

It seems in recent years she has gone back and forth from landing in hilarious roles to disappointing roles, her last major role being the action comedy 'Spy' from last year. Melissa McCarthy has had plenty of ups and downs in her career.
