The Boss

Melissa McCarthy is an orphan that becomes rich. She's a self absorbed bitch though, so when she's busted for insider trading, she can only turn to her former assistant Kristen Bell.
Peter Dinklage also stars as Melissa's ex. He's also hilariously funny or the jokes miss completely.
The story is what it is, but this film has some moments. Laugh out loud moments, but also some short dull stretches and a few jokes that don't really deliver.
McCarthy does a really good job of altering her typical shtick here. Some still pokes through, but it's different enough that it feels fresh.
If you like her other work, this is enjoyable.
