The Rebel Wilson Effect

I can be looking at a movie, reading the plot description on IMDb that has been set to come out in coming up years, I look at the cast and see no one other than Rebel Wilson. Instantly, any movie that seems to be entertaining or interestin instantly loses all of that. I cannot stand watching movies with her because she tries so so hard and all the characters she plays revolve around the same thing, her weight. I can't wait to see the day where people finally see how unfunny she really is.

You just descibed Melissa McCarthy as well

I'm sorry, but in Bridesmaids, their weight was not mentioned ONCE. And so what if they use self-deprecating humor? Many comedians make fun of themselves, but only the fat women are put down for it.

Didn't you know? Fat jokes are only funny when skinny people make them.

I disagree. Melissa McCarthy got great notices in St. Vincent where she played a mom and not a zany character. Rebel Wilson on the other hand does all overweight girls and women a disservice by playing the same part over and over again. She should get a better agent.
