In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and defense of the *new*. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. The new needs friends. Last night, I experienced something new: an extraordinary film from…

Clair Luna: My head isn't little. It's just that my breasts are humongous."

If you watched the trailer and thought it made the movie look trashy, you're wrong. It's way worse than the trailer. This movie is pure garbage. Why do women have to be portrayed that way to prove they can be powerful in business? This cringeworthy gal-pal comedy showcases female empowerment gone wrong. Women deserve so much better. The film was obviously made to capitalize on previous films such as Girls Trip or Bridesmaids to make a quick buck in January, but it failed…

I enjoyed this more than anyone should be allowed to! It was raunchy but I laughed a ton. 

When they said, "Claire Luna will see you when she wants to see you," they should have had at least a 10 minute heart-to-heart real time conversation so we could feel that Claire was really busy. 

Also, a lot of moments were in the trailer so I always felt I know what was coming up. All in all, I enjoyed it. Sue me! I went for Jennifer Coolidge and stayed for the rest. 

Vegan alert:
-Mia (Tiffany Haddish) wants butter on her oatmeal 
-Silk scarf (Gucci)
-Reference to filet-o-fish sandwiches 
-Cheese on display during chili rellenos scene 
-Goat's milk drank and sprayed everywhere

Like a Boss is a 2020 comedy film directed by Miguel Arteta and starring Tiffany Haddish, Rose Byrne, and Salma Hayek. It currently has a critic score of 21% on Rotten Tomatoes but an audience score of 65% which is odd as this really isn’t good enough for that. The plot follows two friends, Mia and Mel, who gain an investor in their company then when it turns sour they attempt to take control of it back after the investment company manipulated them. 

Let’s be honest, 2020 has been a disappointment so far. All the great summer releases are pushed back so I had no choice but to watch this as I originally planned to skip it because…

I laughed once. ONCE. 

Rose Byrne & Tiffany Haddish are both talented people, but this movie did them dirty. The storyline is a MESS filled with cliche writing, overly dramatic characters to the point that it’s nonsensical, and moments that are meant to be funny, but have nothing to do with the story so they just feel out of place. 

Most of the humor is filled with these strange gaps of air and silence. It honestly made the movie resemble a long sitcom,  but without the laugh track. Very awkward. 

The movie tries to give you a good moral to leave with, but the villains and story line are so absurd that you just leave feeling like you wasted money. 

I have a headache. 1/2 a star.

I think this is the thing that pushed me over the brink of insanity. I reenacted the witness my tragic moment scene walking through the theater because it was the only thing I could do to avoid the inevitability of me bashing my head against the wall, which I did in the final act. It took six people to write this and combined they can't even come up with a single clever comedic line. The saving grace is Billy Porter, and he's not even in it for more than fifteen minutes! Also, they took out half the scenes in the trailer! Rose Byrne doesn't punch Salma Hayek in the face and she doesn't say the word cuca.

That being said, second best film of the year!

"You're so greedy, it's like you have a little Mr. Krabs inside of you" - the line that made me laugh.

It is January so fuck you indeed.

Like A Boss is a cynical mess. This is really bad and feels long at 83 minutes. It wastes its R rating on a few cheap jokes but doesn't go far enough in pushing the boundaries of comedy.

Wow, this film is atrocious from a comedic standpoint. There was one belly-laugh and Billy Porter was the man for the job. He is an absolutely hilarious human being, so (thankfully) he got one moment to shine. Everything else feels beyond forced and completely unrealistic. The argument could be “well it’s a slapstick comedy.” That’s true, but there is a difference between one that knows what it is, and one that fails because it thinks it can go deeper than that. It also displays some pretty ugly messages for 2020. We have these unrealistic villainous characters that take away any sense of realism. The two male villains, who are doing makeup…

I’m sorry BUT I’m a sucker for comedies that involve female friendships, raunchy dialogue and weed!!

P.S. Also Rose Byrne’s American accent never ceases to impress me

I'm probably/definitely overthinking this silly comedy but I just hate movies that try to sell you on the idea that only businesses with mean CEOs are bad!! some businesses are simply ethical and girl power!!! i just roll my eyes the whole time and internally scream that money is hell and im trapped!!!! but anyway it was kinda funny

Definitely not comedy I was expecting. The plot was boring and it really was just a terrible waste of time.
