... and the second of the three I watched on the plane.
Jason Bateman... I'm not really sure what to make of him, I don't think he'll make it very far in serious films but he seems to have certainly found his niche, although there are elements of this film where he plays the role particularly well.
And what can really be said about Melissa McCarthy? She's electric, and has lit up every film she's been in. But her talents are no doubt limited, unless there's a serious hillbilly movie that needs a doting wife I don't think she'll be doing many serious parts any time soon, but perhaps she shouldn't, as her comedy is brilliant.
The film itself is quite simple, and lends to Melissa being able to show some reasonable work, I'm not convinced that there's much to it though. Again, another simple one that got me through the flight, not enough there to really make it a trademark comedy.
I've given it a 6.8.
