Did Melissa McCarthy ruin it for you?


Read or heard from people that they were upset that she was in, McCarthy is one of those actresses that not many people care about, maybe it's because she's got a punchable face or she's not a hottie for young boys or she's a loud overweight woman, I don't know what it is but not many care about McCarthy at all.

She is unfunny - so it's weird to have someone who is unfunny in a comedic role.

You don't need to be fat or ugly to be funny, look at the women in Modern Family they're not hideous.

Not that it would have lead to a better film but it would've been better from a marketing or comedic if it was a mixed sex cast of guys and girls, like two men and a girl or two men two girls.

she's one of the reasons. i don't think sandra bullock or mindy kalin would have been much more enjoyable. off the bat it was irritating that this wasn't gb3.

reply

She's alright. Leslie Jones is far more annoying.

At best they're loud nothing more.

She was certainly a major part in it. The first scene of her with that fat stupid face filling the screen and her dominance of every scene thereafter. You could tell Wiig was uncomfortable at times.

reply

She's not enjoyable, she makes you cringe and she has no chemistry with the rest of the cast.

This. McCharthy was all right in Spy (2015). Maybe she felt intimidated by the other girls so she tried to dominate the movie. Or it was just the way the director wanted. Terrible decission.

i cant understand how people pay to watch stuff with mccarthy in it. if i wanted to watch gross fatty mcbumbalatties shuffle around i can go down to my local walmart for free to watch them in there natural enviroment and get some shopping done while i am at it. i never watched this bastardation of the ghostbusters name. i really enjoyed the first two movies, they played an important and happy part of my childhood. i will not the sjw woketards ruin my childhood by exposing myself to this vomit. they are killing everything we love. ghostbusters and now james bond... it isnt about making money it is about destroying the things we love and hold dear. this is an attack on our mental health. u cant give in an actually watch this trash it will just ruin your day....

I don't understand why people think she's funny. Is it an American thing? But to be fair the only bits that worked in this film - for me anyway - was a few Kate McKinnon moments. Everything else was dross.

reply

The only real positive I have is Kate McKinnon.

She would fuck up Godfather if she was in it ...

reply

She makes you cringe every time she's on camera, she's not enjoyable and has no chemistry with rest of the cast.
