Like a Boss

Somebody should be fired.

It seems like it would be oh so easy to watch Tiffany Haddish (Girls Trip) in an office comedy for two hours. Especially if paired with Rose Byrne (Bridesmaids), but somehow this one hour and twenty-three-minute film felt longer than The Irishman.

The ridiculous cosmetic company business story parallels 2018's I Feel Pretty, but without the clever gimmick and the humor. To make matters worse, Salma Hayek joins in. She comically overacts in dramas so it seems like she’d do well in comedy, but it hurts to watch her trying so hard to. 
As far as Haddish and Byrne, what a waste of talent.

This work-comedy should be titled Work, Work, Work  because everyone is sweating so hard just to make something work out. It sucks like a boss.


In a nutshell: Somebody should be fired.

Award potential: None. I’d say it could win a Golden Raspberry, but not up against Cats.

The Ten Buck Review: Not worth ten bucks.
