Thought this was a comedy?


Not sure what it was, but it definitely wasn't a comedy.

If you like Melissa McCarthy, it's a comedy. If you don't like her much, then I would definitely skip this one because she's the only thing really good about it. As for me, I laughed and chuckled quite a bit. The biggest flaw-the miscasting of Susan Sarandon. If they could have gotten someone like Betty White, this would have been so much better.

There were some funny moments, but the absolute sadness of the next moment killed a lot of the jokes for me. To me, it was almost like the movie was confused.

I thought it was supposed to be a comedy as well. There were many hilarious moments, and I don't think the movie deserves the low rating. Considering the great cast I think it must be the fault of the writers for not giving it more to like. Sarandon and Bates were great, and Melissa was too except she just was too puzzling.
