Reviews

IndieWire - Eric Kohn
Melissa McCarthy is hilarious in every scene of The Boss, but the movie rarely keeps up with her.
58
The Playlist - Russ Fischer
McCarthy has a great knack for vicious verbiage, and in combination with her supreme physical control there's pleasure in seeing Darnell tear an opponent to shreds, even (or especially) when she's in the wrong.
50
Screen International - Tim Grierson
A sporadically funny film that has moments of real heart in what’s otherwise a formulaic study of an aggressive businesswoman who learns to stop being so selfish.
50
USA Today - Brian Truitt
The raucous comedy fails to keep up with its charismatic star.
40
Village Voice - Melissa Anderson
The Boss is a better film than Tammy, but it still flounders, almost capsizing in its sloppy final third.
