Two friends Mia (Tiffany Haddish) and Mel (Rose Byrne) have a beauty company, though
friends from childhood they have different ideals about life. After finding out
that they’re in debt financially a business mogul gives them a buyout offer
that puts their lifelong friendship to the test.
POPCORN-O-METER= 4.7
Like a boss gets to a point where it is just so predictable,
for a comedy its quite unfunny and uninteresting with dry jokes and pointless
humor which is quite surprising given the very talented cast. There are some
movies you just finish because you were really interested in prior to watching
it and Like a boss is honestly one of them.
Mia and Mel are supposedly childhood friends but their
chemistry is just off, it’s understandable that people are different and even
close friends have different ideal but there’s always chemistry which their on-screen
friendship lacked.
The most painful thing about the movie is that it’s supposed
to be a comedy but it doesn’t really entertain. Rolling stone reporter wrote
“What we have here is comedy on life support, with Haddish and Byrne valiantly
performing futile acts of resuscitation. Sorry to report: The patients died”
which is both true and sadly more hilarious than most, if not all the jokes in
the movie.
