‘Life of the Party’ (Melissa McCarthy will star and Ben Falcone will direct.)

[Himmel]

Plot details are being kept under wraps, but an insider likens “Life of the Party” to the 1986 Rodney Dangerfield comedy “Back to School.” Production could start as soon as this summer.

I never watched Tammy or The Boss, but I'm pretty sure this will piss people off since critics hate those films.

Falcone? **** no.

Let me guess. Her character is a woman who swears a lot, and feels like a outcast because no one likes her. But at the end of the movie. Everyone learns to love her. Is that somewhere close?

It's okay to say "no" to your celebrity spouse every now and then.

This is one of those times.

She's become the new Adam Sandler, in only a fraction of the time.

I hope Falcone directs Ghostbusters 2.

[P-Rock]

I hope Harold Ramis' ghost directs Ghostbusters 2.

[Dalekbuster523Bluray]

I hope they make it a sci-fi comedy.

I didn't see the Boss thankfully, but I saw Tammy and yikes it was bad. This doesn't piss me off though because I won't see it. I've given up on her films except Ghostbusters or something where she is a costar with someone I like.

There is not gonna be another Ghostbusters movie with this cast.

The Heat.
Spy.
Bridesmaids.
Ghostbusters.

All the above are her best.

I hated the Heat (shame because I like Sandra), didn't see Spy, don't care for Bridesmaids, and I got enjoyment out of Ghostbusters (not so much the comedy). Seriously Paul Fiegs comedy doesn't work for 9 times out of 10.

Anyway this isn't Fieg, but I'd be no more hopeful for it. I saw Tammy and Identify Theif along with the ones listed and that felt like enough of a fill of Melissa McCarthy. She was her absolute most tolerable for me in Ghostbusters for some reason. Her normal comedy style seemed way toned down. Maybe because of the PG-13?

I think so.

Except that her films are way funnier than Sandler's in general. Though, I must admit to being a big fan of The Waterboy.

When Falcone directs her, yes. When she works with other people, she does much better. And if she's gonna insist on doing the foul-mouthed, belligerent persona, it's best when it's in small doses like This Is 40, The Hangover Part III, or that brief segment of Spy about 2/3 of the way through the flick.

Happy Gilmore is a blast too imo. I used to like Billy Madison, but it doesn't hold up at all. I also find 50 First Dates to be a fine film. Overall though Sandler has a ton of garbage movies. However I feel the same about McCarthy so hey what do I know. Others seem to love her.
