Melissa's Well Received Movies (all directed by Paul Feig):
*Bridesmaids
*The Heat
*Spy
Melissa's Flops:
*Identity Thief
*Tammy
*The Boss
The only good movie she's been in that wasn't directed by Feig was St. Vincent. Hopefully the new Ghostbusters movie with her will be good.
In her defense, Identity Theft nay have flopped because victims of actual identity theft will not want to see a movie that tries to turn IT nto a comedy. I remember a Youtube poster commenting that she found the movie IT offensive as she was an actual victim of IT and couldn't believe they turned the very serious crime of ID into a Comedy. I also was a victim of IT(Someone stole my tax information and filed a tax return under my name and took my tax refund. I was pissed off, but luckily I signed a paper to the IRS stating that I was not the one who got my tax refund. I got my tax refund 6 months later). I constantly get angry when I think of the person who stole my tax information and got my tax refund. Not pissed off like the day I was told I was the victim of IT, but a smoldering anger. I can see why people would not want to see Identity Theft movie.
shareI don't know about that.
My father was murdered when I was 16, but I don't get upset when I see someone get shot in a movie.
Mind you, possibly because I've seen 10's of thousands get shot in the movies and am desensitized.
I think people just like to find a reason to complain so they somehow feel relevant.

Hardly flops, Tammy brought in it's box office the opening weekend. The Boss out a little over a month over 60 million in the US alone. Identity thief just shy of $35 million it's budget the opening weekend. Do your homework before you start being a donkey's ass.
