Like a Boss was everything I expected it to be. The plot was predictable, but enjoyable nonetheless.

muamba_eats_toast20 January 2020It's not as bad as many have made out I've certainly seen a lot worse. While the storyline is certainly basic as hell there are still enough genuine laughs in between the basic premise to just about make it work. Will I have forgot about it within a month probably but I did enjoy it whilst it lasted atleast to some extent.

monifaroberts4 July 2020Tiffany and rose have amazing chemistry and comedic timing. I want to see more comedies like this. It's really women centric and it's funny. I don't need every movie to change the world I just need a good script and good acting. This has both!

mikep-1169919 January 2020It was so bad I can't understand how movies like these get made

Lost_In_Translation_11 January 2020This clearly isn't a movie targeted towards me. Being a 30 year old man, I am for sure not the audience that this is meant for. That didn't stop me from enjoying stuff like Girls Trip, Bridesmaids, and Spy. All of those too are targeted towards a female audience, but I enjoyed them in their own right as they were funny and well made comedies.
This is just looking to capitalize on those kinds of movie and make a quick buck in January. It's extremely unfunny and really predictable. My girlfriend, who was the reason I saw this, usually enjoys movies in this similar wheelhouse, but even she ended up not liking it all that much either. All of the leads deserve better and have done better.
The only jokes that got a laugh out of me was one about Calliou and one involving Billy Porter's dramatic exit from a dinner. Everything else is just really forced moments and not funny. Salma Hayek is playing a cartoon villain that just doesn't fit in a movie like this either. She is only a few steps away from a cackling villain on a Saturday morning cartoon.
The plot in a comedy doesn't have to be much if the jokes carry it, but this plot was just really plain and boring. The two leads sell their company to Hayek. Eventually the two of them fight and split for a few scenes, then come to the realization they still need each other. Just super run-of-the-mill and tedious.
Not worth anyone's time and you're much better off re-watching the lead's better works in recent years like Girls Trip, Bridesmaids, Spy, or Neighbors. -
Celewa22 February 2021Incomprehensible mess. Crude and over the top with comedy elements veering more towards horrific than comedic. Choppy pacing. Characters only act as stereotypes. Talented cast gone to waste.

acedj27 April 2020This is the story of two life-long friends Mia and Mel that are running a cosmetics company. Though they are doing well online, their on site sales are not great and they are running deep in the red. Enter Claire Luna, a giant in the business world that launches an evil plan to wrest control of the company from the friends.
This is a story that has been done a lot and also a lot better, however, I laughed a lot. I almost skipped it because of the low rating it has gotten on here. I found quite a bit to like here and though I probably will never watch it again, I do not regret that I did rent it.
There is nothing new here, but it is still funny. I would say to give this a chance. -
lsagitt14 January 2020One of the most unfunny movies I've seen in a long time. Poorly written, predictable script. I couldn't wait for it to be over. Definitely not a "Girls Trip" girls night out movie.

So I'm not a huge comedy fan but I enjoyed this. Yes there were some lame jokes but overall the theater was laughing the entire movie. It was enjoyable and I never felt bored. Predictable? Sure. But the movie wasn't as bad as everyone is making it out to be.

2001ASOfan11 January 2020Great cast, a director I've enjoyed in the past: what happened here? Flat and uninspired filmmaking, and a lazy comedy.

pbsurfer2126 April 2020I honestly thought that this movie was pretty good.the hate for it is not inderstood.

exisce23 September 2020Frankly, I'm not sure what kind of expectations people who gave this movie 1-4 stars had. I though it's a great feel good movie, with likable characters, a few funny jokes, and wonderful actors (although I felt that sometimes Salma Hayek was a bit over the top). It's not meant to be your guide to winning business strategy or some kind of a philosophical story to ponder over. It's pure, very entertaining comedy. Don't judge it from other, demanding standpoints used for serious cinematographic works, and, I'm sure, you can enjoy it as much as I did.

texasteacher9819 January 2020I was a little worried about seeing a comedy while I was recovering from surgery. It wasn't a problem though, because I didn't laugh once. You would think with an all star cast, it would have been better. It was predictable and borderline inappropriate.
-
allison1022 January 2020I got bored not even halfway through. The movie got predictable and boring. Rose and Tiffany don't have chemistry for two people who are supposed to have been best friends since middle school. I did laugh at a couple jokes but it was mainly unfunny. I couldn't even remember most of the character's names or the name of this movie when I decided to do a review.
-
aprilsfriendorin24 March 2021Imagine Bridesmaids, but like... 10x worse? Actually, scratch that, Bridesmaids is too good to be compared to this mess. There are some funny moments, but for the most part it's a cringe-fest with forced sexual jokes and unlikable characters. Throw it on in the background when you're looking for a comedy that you don't need to pay attention to.

bfricksjr-8130311 January 2020If youve seen the treailers you have seen the movie. Not the best parts since there are mo best parts. Unfunny blah movie that is doa Kept waiting for a funny movie that never happened. Was this supposed to be a rainchy comedy or a buddy comedy or a heartfelt comedy? We will never know because the movie was not sure what it wanted to be. Talented cast in a misguided attempt. Save your time and your money. This boss looks like it was made by a film stident who never artended any film classes.

JoBloTheMovieCritic9 May 20207/10 - it's not the funniest movie you've seen, it's not the smartest movie you've seen, it's not even the most entertaining movie you've seen, but, man is it fun!

chrismarie-9961912 January 2020This was a complete waste of Tiffany Haddish' talents. The story was predictable and out of date. Even the wardrobe changes were out of sync which makes the entire editing staff laughable. It was a complete waste of the $8 and 2 hours spent on this film. I would like Rose Byrne to stay in suspense movies and Tiffany to fire her agent!
-
I don't understand the bad reviews, and that's why I had to leave a review. I laughed at a few parts and I really enjoyed the film. I'm a makeup lover so maybe that's why, but I seriously don't think this movie is as bad as everyone is rating it! Watch it and decide for yourself!
-
The moments felt forced, sprinkled in with "enter joke here", followed by too many sappy moments. Hayek's look was too distracting that it took you out of the movie. Definitely a wait for Netflix kind of movie.
-
sunbug-0766416 June 2020I don't see why it has a low rating... I laughed pretty hard multiple times. I liked the characters and actors... the ending was kinda meh- it seemed thrown together just to end the movie but oh well. I was entertained and that's what movies are supposed to do.
-
UniqueParticle11 January 2020An outrageously silly experience with great moments and some try hard humor that I still appreciated. I think the film deserves better than a 3.9 that's tragic, it's watchable and not that bad! Rose Byrne and everyone is awesome! It was also nice to see a lot of pretty girls in the audience they definitely had fun!
-
alexamoraa-865539 February 2020One of the worst films out there. Not funny, terrible acting, and shocking writing. Complete lack of imagination. Is there still time to delete this movie.
-
marmar-6978011 January 2020Isnt like a boss supposed to be a comedy,obviously not since i didnt laugh one time during film,this film tries to deliver message how looks arent everything and similiar themes but thanks to bad humour and lame jokes everything fails miserably,tiffany is again just again playing loud woman who never shuts up and just wastes space with her unfunny moments,its is actually ironic that only fun moments are shown by male actors considering the this films is targated for girls and so they can relate to it,like a boss is just another failed attempt to make comedy but in all of that fields it fails and shows why films like this belong in january

tmendonca-5095612 January 2020The only thing worse than the movie is the excruciating ad that features the Vanderpump twits singing. Expectedly disappointing and a waste of $6.
