Melissa McCarthy is hilarious in every scene of The Boss, but the movie rarely keeps up with her.
58
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
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
The raucous comedy fails to keep up with its charismatic star.

Village Voice
The Boss is a better film than Tammy, but it still flounders, almost capsizing in its sloppy final third.
