The Boss
A titan of industry is sent to prison after she's caught for insider trading. When she emerges ready to rebrand herself as America's latest sweetheart, not everyone she screwed over is so quick to forgive and forget.
Critics Sentiment
The Darlings and Dandelions engage in an epic street fight over brownie sales territory
Michelle misunderstands Claire's loyalty and sells Darnell's Darlings to Renault out of spite
The film peaks with the beloved Girl Scout street fight sequence then drops significantly when Michelle's character makes the forced decision to sell the company
The Boss follows a mixed reception arc that starts moderately, peaks during the absurd Girl Scout rivalry and street fight sequences that reviewers found genuinely hilarious, then dips during forced dramatic moments before settling into a predictable but acceptable resolution. While McCarthy's performance and the family dynamics earned praise, the vulgar humor and weak script prevented it from achieving consistent success.
