In the prologue, we see McCarthy’s character Michelle Darnell sent back to an orphanage three separate times - in 1975, 1980, and 1985, all with appropriate music cues, of course - and Margo Martindale‘s nun Sister Aluminata keeps welcoming her back. There are nearly no laughs in this picture, and in a movie that bills itself as a comedy, usually you can see the performers working for laughs of some kind at least part of the time.
The curious thing about “The Boss,” the second film that Melissa McCarthy has made with her husband Ben Falcone as writer-director (following “Tammy” in 2014), is how little it seems to be working to amuse.
