Thanks Melissa, but no thanks.

Don't get me wrong, I don't resent Melissa McCarthy in any way.
I'm glad she's had success. I just don't get it.
I've never found her funny, and worse yet, she's an unoriginal one trick pony who only plays one character. Finding something or someone humorous is a subjective matter, but I don't think her one-note style can be disputed.
I've seen people laud her as being a great comedienne but for the reasons above, I just can't agree with them. Every one of her films feels like a prolonged (and in my opinion, unfunny) skit.

The first thing I've seen her in was Identity Thief, with another one-note actor - Jason Bateman. Now, I find his type of humor/character much more palpable and I've enjoyed a bunch of his stuff, but I wouldn't call him a great comedian. I like his one character being put through various situations, but there's nothing beyond that.

I can't argue with the people who like Melissa McCarthy, because like I said, humor is subjective, but I'd like to know what the people who dislike her think about her success.

I think she's at her worse when she collaborates with Paul Feig, maybe because he lets his actors just ad-lib into oblivion.
