Is Mccarthy the female Adam Sanders now?


She is stuck doing the same characters and her movies get worse and worse! Just getting tired of her now and she's not funny at all...

Adam Sandler isn't doing the same type of characters anymore...don't know where you got that. Melissa McCarthy is more like Chris Farley (physical comedy), but not as funny.

Umm, Pixels? Biggest flop of his career.

She is not there yet, but after this one and the upcoming Ghostbusters movie, she is gonna be

I didn't think "Tammy" or "Identity Thief" were particularly funny or interesting, but "The Boss" has some laugh-out-loud moments. Granted it's not a good movie (not nearly as good as Paul Feig's movies- "Bridesmaids" or "Spy" for example), but that 18% on RT is very misleading. I would say it's worth a Redbox rental.

I love messing up Adam's name on purpose.

I actually thought, despite the fact, yes, true, Adam SANDERS movies are mostly bad... But I thought RID6 was actually ten times better than HATEFUL8.

And this movie, wow, worse than any Sandler movie I've seen... in a while...

It seems like they are both putting out the same template productions.

A not so nice person turns things around for a 'heartwarming feel good ending'.

Gives one a sense of deja vous.

Pffft, my suspension of disbelief has higher standards than that.

im seeing this tomorrow, i cant wait!

She kinda reminds me of a female Kevin James. Could this movie be as bad as Mall Cop II? I liked the first Mall Cop. But the second, I turned off.

I really liked Identity Thief and Spy. Heat wasn't terrible.

I had no idea she had a long running career on Gilmore Girls(I never watched it). 150+ episodes. I thought she started with Mike and Molly, and probably a stand-up comic or comedy writer before that.

She is more like George Sanders.

It's that man again!!

If by that you mean earning millions and millions of dollars a year while doing the same character and same movie over and over again.. then yes.
