They need to become Leading ladies

They're so funny

Kate's moment of fame will be up soon.

As far as that unknown... she was not funny or entertaining at all.

Jillian Bell perhaps, but not in this movie. McKinnon cannot carry a part above short SNL sketches (see Ghostbusters for proof). She does not have that "Je ne sais quoi" that takes comedians far, I think.

In this flick, I was more surprised by Olivia Munn. Though unbelievable in her hacker character, I thought she delivered surprisingly well with what the script gave her.

Kate has already landed her own movie and keeps working a lot. The other girl doesn´t do it for me. She´s kind of funny but that´s it. The Ubber driver was funnier and Jennifer Aniston is always entertaining and she deserves more than she´s gotten but that´s more tan her other Friends got.

Kate Mckinnon will likely get a shot. Personally, I don't think she can carry a movie on her own, but she will get a shot. Jillian Bell is the poor man's Melissa McCarthy and I don't think she can be a lead either. It isn't easy. Not even funnygirl Tina Fey can carry a movie on her own.
