She's never made me laugh.


She seems like a nice girl, but in terms of comedy, I really don't see the humour. She's done gross out, parody, slapstick and other forms of comedy, but I can't say that I've cracked a smile.

reply

I can't say I've never smiled at something she's done, but her humour is definitely not for me. Her more dramatic acting, I actually love.

reply

Yeah, she's way better in drama. I actually didn't hate her comedy in Ghostbusters because she toned it down a bit.

reply

I think it's because she was playing a person rather than playing the funny man. I think that's why I like her so much in Life of the party, where the comedy isn't too annoying because her acting is the main focus.

reply

She was funny in Bridesmaids. But then she did the same character after that and it got old.

reply

wellll


were you trying not to laugh
... or were you in a trying to find the funny side in anything mood

I find its best for health and well being to go for the second option

reply

I never try to not laugh. Her comedy just seems basic to me.

reply

She was funny, but quickly displayed it was pretty one note. Same character over and over basically. Unfortunately, it's true of a lot of comedians. However, she's truly a competent actress and doesn't need to stick to comedy. She was great in Can You Ever Forgive Me.

reply

She should drop comedy. I think more people would like her that way.

reply

most comedians move past it after a while. She's doing more "serious" stuff, but she's not typical Hollywood leading lady attractive, and it will always limit her roles.

SHE IS VERY FUNNY...SHE ALSO WORKS MOSTLY FOR HER HUSBAND WHO HAS NO CLUE HOW TO REIGN HER IN...SO YOU GET MELISSA AT 10O0 ALL THE TIME...HER SHOW MIKE & MOLLY WAS DELIGHTFUL AND SWEET AND YES FUNNY...SHE WAS EXCELLENT IN BRIDESMAIDS AND HER DRAMA WORK IS ALWAYS GOOD...MELISSA MCCARTHY IS A TQALENTED LADY WHO NEEDS BETTER DIRECTION...NO OFFENSE TO BEN FALCONE...BUT DUDE HAS NO AUTHORITY WITH THE WIFE.

Pretty sexist there, bucko. She needed better mansplaining?

reply

HE IS THE DIRECTOR...IT IS LITERALLY HIS JOB TO TELL HER HOW TO ACT IN HIS MOVIE.

Did you leave your funnybone in bed this morning?

reply

I BET YOU WISH I LEFT IT IN YOUR BED...ACTUALLY I KIND OF WISH THAT TOO.😳

reply

The only bone in my bed is mine! πŸ†

FUNNY LADY AND GOOD ACTOR...SHE HAS THE BAD HABIT OF OVERRELYING ON HER "ONE WOMAN SHOW" STYLE,ESPECIALLY WHEN WORKING WITH/FOR HER HUSBAND THOUGH.

reply

Somehow this is racist.

reply

I've found her funny in several movies. Good comedic actress.

reply

she done a couple more movies now,
any better ?
there was that AI one

reply

The last one I saw her in was Thunder Force.

reply

She's made me laugh.

Just admit it samoanjoes, you don't like 'em thick.

reply

I don't mind the fatties at all. Adele and Rebel Wilson looked better before the weight loss.
