Eva Peterson utilizes her taller physique for some comical intimidation tactics as Chrystal (who stands out), and Anderson is as cute, and eye-battingly charismatic, as a button. When calling for support, McCarthy works best with her character’s team of “Darlings,” who become a brownie-selling powerhouse envied by Girl Scout troops everywhere. Yes, Darnell does spell out foul words, punch children, and verbally abuse competitors, but for an R-rated comedy, The Boss feels bafflingly tame, and tonally confused when it comes to the turtle-neck obsessed financial genius. This sets a personal paranoia in motion whenever Darnell grows too close to someone (trust issues), which definitely doesn’t make for a gimmicky climax! (Sarcasm: it does) Same as her telegraphed path to redemption, which focuses more on sweet sincerity than we’d hope. It’s hard to get back up once you’ve fallen from the top, unless you’re Michelle Darnell – and you can outsmart your nemesis/ex-lover, Renault (Dinklage).ĭarnell acquires her cut-throat nature during a rough childhood, when numerous families return her like an ugly Christmas sweater after adopting her, then changing their mind. With nowhere to go, Darnell’s former assistant, Claire ( Kristen Bell), lets her crash until opportunities present themselves once again, but it’s Claire’s daughter, Rachel ( Ella Anderson), who sparks the next Darnell brand.
