What's with the turtle necks?!


Just saw the trailer. Melissa's character looks thinner than Melissa normally does, but she's constantly wearing different turtlenecks. What's up with that?! Some even went half over her chin...
I found it distracting, are they trying to hide something?

I guess it supposed to be apart of the Michelle Darnell character.

Its to cover her quaruple chin.

Since Diane Keaton is known for her turtle necks I don't think the quadruple chin is the answer....

Handle stressful situations like a dog. If you can't eat it or play with it, pee on it and walk away

It's a power thing, I think. I don't know why, but to me turtle neck either says dork or rich and powerful

reply

I think she wears them to still look rich, and maybe they are the only thing she has after losing everything

reply

I don't know what's with the turtlenecks but she has lost some weight.

reply

Not just some, EVERY scene had the turtle neck up to her chin! I think that's crazy funny for some reason.

Hmmm... Reminds me of a 1980s Leona Helmsley.

I think Melissa looks so beautiful - I think the turtlenecks is part of her character for this movie, she's not trying to hide anything; I mean she's out in public looking wonderful and healthy; I don't know what Melissa did to lose the weight(and its her business of how she did it - healthy reasons is probably one of them), but I still think she is a great comedic actress and I adore her ever since Gilmore Girls, she rocked so much on that show as Lorelai's sidekick Sookie as well as and Jackson's wife - she was just amazing as always. I'm so proud of Melissa - nomination for "Spy" movie - way to go girl!!! But CBS sucks for canceling Mike & Molly which was a funny show w/a great comedic cast; Melissa has chemistry w/the actor who portrays Mike (Billy Gardell, who btw has lost a lot of weight as well) her husband on this show I will miss dearly! CBS really keeps crap on though - sorry but this new "Supergirl" series, is more like a comedy and sorry the actress playing her just doesn't fit as this amazing comic book female hero; maybe she's better in other projects in her career but she is not right for "Supergirl"..... WE LOVE YOU MELISSA MCCARTHY - YOU ROCK NO MATTER WHAT AND MIKE & MOLLY DESERVES A PROPER SEND OFF W/SOME PROMOS SHOWING LOYAL VIEWERS THAT THIS WILL BE IT FOR THIS WONDDERFUL SERIES. CBS HASN'T EVEN HAD THE COURTESY OR RESPECT TO AT LEAST SHOW PROMOS OF THIS SHOW AND TELING LOYAL VIEWERS THAT "THIS IS IT" - 13 MORE EPISODES OF MIKE & MOLLY - CBS CRAPPED ON US AGAIN, BUT WHAT ELSE IS NEW, RIGHT?? CBS SUCKS !
