Dead Silence

Let me preface this by saying that I absolutely love Melissa McCarthy. Her films aren't always great, but I think she is hilarious and I love her personality in interviews. However, I went to see this film last night in a near full theater and it was dead silent throughout almost every single joke. There were moderate chuckles here and there, but never once did an eruption of laughter happen in the theater. It was extremely awkward throughout the experience. Toward the middle half of the film people started to get up and leave. I will say that in the history of me seeing movies I've only left a film once, and that was during 10,000 BC. I did end up leaving and getting my money back. They didn't even kind of question giving me a refund. I wouldn't have put up a fight for it, but I didn't seem to be the first one asking for a refund. The reason I'm writing this is to say if you think you should see this film just wait til the Bluray.
