If you don't find her funny
Your a sad person in real life, one who is mostly negative and naive and would say your overall intelligence is slightly skewed from average.
Enjoy your miserable day ?

Or perhaps, many don't easily get suckered by lowest common denominator humor, especially lowest common denominator humor with zero cleverness, style, wit or effort.
You ain't kidding. Forceful cussing isn't comedy. It's no replacement for wit.
And I'm no *beep* prude, believe you me.
I have seen this chick in Spy, Tammy, St. Vincent, and The Heat. She had a chance TO ACT in St. Vincent, she did so/so. Tammy, pfffff. Spy, pfffff. The Heat, she kinda grooved with Sandra Bullock, I laughed.
Face it OP, she got plugged in by the Machine to run these formulaic comedies for a bit ala Sandler, Stiller, Ferrell. She's the new One Trick Pony.
Sorry if some people (OP) consider her the second coming of Richard *beep* Prior. I don't.
At some point I will watch this cause the women I date are easily ammused. Fine and dumb... my favorite flavors. I will hold judgement of the film til then.
I agree.
shareMelissa McCarthy is about as funny as a lobotomy.
Utah! Get me two.
I find her absolutely hilarious and I don't understand why people don't like her
shareWhat exactly is the direct relation between being naive and not findind her funny ? Could you please take a moment to let your not slightly skewed from average intelligence explain it to us ?
shareI thought the trailer looked really funny... Come on to the boards... "This is crap" everywhere. I dunno, does anyone like comedies anymore? What's a good comedy in everyone's opinion?
shareI like comedies. The issues are all the lazy, uninspired, tired unfunny comedies that relies strictly on juvenile/low brow humor without any cleverness, wit, style or real effort. This looks like every other movie McCarthy has done. I didn't laugh once.
I'm not above low brow comedies or juvenile humor but it has to have some form of effort and done in a way where it's clever and witty and have some style to it.
Not have it look like it was done by a child.
Thanks for that but you still didn't mention a recent comedy that's up to your standards?

I enjoyed "She's Funny That Way".
And hence the problem: they don't make comedies like these anymore. Too slow for the "modern" comedy fan.
I agree...I haven't been able to watch a movie of hers all the way through except for Identity Thief and I hated, hated, hated it. Fell asleep during the Sandra Bullock piece of crap and now just refuse to see anything with her in it. And Bridesmaids don't count, it wasn't her movie but I saw this all the way through but hated this too... Kristen Wiig is not funny either.
shareGood comedies:
A Fish Called Wanda, Young Frankenstein, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, Forget Paris, The Princess Bride, Airplane!, Philadelphia Story, Bringing Up Baby, This is Spinal Tap, Office Space, Raising Arizona, Caddyshack, Ghostbusters, Dr. Strangelove, Blazing Saddles, Coming to America, The Grand Budapest Hotel, Red, Moonrise Kingdom, Shaun of the Dead, Trading Places, Bad Santa, Analyze This, Being John Malkovich, Tropic Thunder
Misidiotaicy - the dislike of idiots.
If you're bringing up good comedies in general, I second your choices.
I think he was asking for more recent choices so I put in titles within the last five years that I thought were good comedies and as you can see, that list is short.
Before ever trailer staring her I say how long till the fat girl falling over gag?? Didn't take long did it
shareShe may be personally funny; I don't know because I've never met her or spent any time in her presence. This film, though, looks pathetic but I can't hold her personally responsible for it.
Typical low-brow drek aimed at the minimal-IQ mainstream audience easily amused by formulaic junk churned out week after week by a Hollywood that's run by accountants instead of artists.
Ben Stiller, Will Ferrell, Adam Sandler (especially), Rob Schneider and their unfunny ilk do this stuff blindfolded and it's not getting any funnier no matter how hard they keep flogging the dead horse of so-called Hollywood comedy.
This particular low-class effort, The Boss, shows in the trailer a horrible role model for girls (swearing and violence are not positive tools for life success, for instance).
Don't judge a film by its trailer, you say? The trailer is there to promote the film and give the potential viewer an idea of what to expect. This trailer has shown me not to expect anything of real humour, wit, cleverness or heart. Enough said.
Thanks CelluloidAdmirer, I guess you're right. I actually need to watch a few of those movies! Maybe it's because they're not star-vehicle comedies, so they try a bit harder and go for more originality.
shareYou mean those that find her funny....
She is a bore and the "fat person" thing is getting old. She needs to stick to stuff like St. Vincent. She was awesome in that and showed she can actually act. These dumb comedies of hers are already a bore.
She does it well, the fat thing, whatever you call it, hey look, I laugh, that's all I care about
shareSo McCarthy is now considered the number one comedic actor in the country yet you want her to stop doing comedies. Hmmm, I hope you don't give career advice for a living.

An opinion is an opinion. She is a bore. Same character every movie. Because she gets paid at the top means absolutely nothing as far as talent. Just look as the other Hollywood aspect, music!
shareThe top comedic actor in the country... That ain't saying much.
Snooki and JWow became household names by acting like jerkoffs on MTV.
She's getting paid, cool.
But the OPs original post was basically, "If you don't like her, you are just a sad hater."
So, because some of us would rather spend our money on originality we are haters and sad..? I got a word for people that laugh ay anything: idiots.
Calls people stupid while not knowing that your is your and you're is you are. Please slit your own throat.
