Almost skipped it because Melissa McCarthy was in it...


...because I have been so turned off by her foul-mouthed, every-other-word-the-F-Word comedies in the past, like "The Heat," and I thought this was going to be the same thing. I did not go to the theater to see this movie, and just caught it on Showtime, and it was great all-around, especially Bill Murray, and lo and behold Melissa McCarthy gave a sympathetic portrayal of a single mother.

It was actually the kind of the role I'd like to see her in more. More of a real person and less over the top.

I didn't like the movie as much as others have, but it was refreshing to see McCarthy play a more down-to-earth character.
