yesterday I described underwater is a very watchable movie and I would say the
same thing for like a boss yes welcome to January when you don't have to go to
the movies but you can if you want to there's not even a lot of streaming
shows out so it's a little bit of a wasteland out there unless you're
catching up on what you didn't see over the holidays but you know these are two
fine options they're movies you can watch the only question between them is
what's your poison right if you like sci-fi or horror you
can see underwater if you like comedies your chick flicks you can see like a
boss now oh by the way interestingly both are
female centric movies yeah Hollywood we still can't get any director nominations
even with a plethora of options but at least progress is being made on some
fronts and I would say that both these movies I think are well maybe not so
much like a boss but I think about movies the guys could watch which i
think is really great they're not just for women even though they both star
women now I like all these genres but for me personally underwater has the
slight edge because the humor and like a boss is a bit too blue for me and if
you're not familiar with that comedy comedy chair in blue what it means is
that the humor is a bit too inappropriate needlessly so by the way
like in good boys the inappropriateness was the whole point
and speaking of mr. Seth Rogen or mr. inappropriate himself there's a bit too
much drug humor here Rogen must have rubbed off on Rose Byrne with those
neighbours movies I would say the first neighbours is better than this film but
this is kind of on par with neighbors chill but yes burn herself has proven to
be quite funny she was so good in spy she's really very she can be quite funny
however here I'm afraid she's no match for the over-the-top yet still very
funny antics because sometimes over-the-top is trying too hard but here
it's it's just funny of Tiffany Haddish Salma Hayek and Billy Porter yes mr.
Billy Porter along Billy Porter he has a small role here make no mistake but he
definitely makes the most of it just like Billy Porter always does
nothing is wasted with Billy Porter he looks fabulous he steals the scenes
and he comes across as a genuine kind person you know the Billy Porter
brand he's also one of just a few men in this movie you know actually there's
probably equal amount of men as there are women but the men have significantly
less screen time so Karen Sony has some good lines and
what's a very different role for him but he also I would say makes the most of it
and then Jimmy O yang and Ryan heads Hansen are more of a gag but they have
some of the best laughs the best gags and a movie in the movie with a cleverly
appalling twist I don't want to give it away on their makeup company and it was
the comedic gift that kept on giving I have to say although Tiffany Haddish is
line when they first meet him had me laugh out loud very hard it was great
but yes this movie is mostly ladies and as a woman I always enjoy movies where
women act like regular people and do regular things underwater as I said kind
of passes the Bechdel test but like a boss flies the Bechdel flag neither had
ash nor burn have real love interests you know they're focused on their
business and their friendship and that's what's movies about female friendship
and women in business which i think is very nice in fact if this movie wasn't
so inappropriate it's rated R but it's like a really hard R again think Seth
Rogen but for some reason I think it works a little bit better with Seth
Rogen I'm not sure I guess I guess because that's Rogen's whole persona but
I don't really didn't feel that Tiffany Haddish nor Rose Byrne needed that that
layer right but anyway I think this would've been a great movie for young
girls if they could watch it right but as for Tiffany Haddish I think this is
her best comedic role today because I also really liked her in the kitchen
because she's not only hilarious but she has a lot of layers to her role it seems
very much like a fleshed out full character Rose burned though I have to
say has done much better she looks great everyone has great fashions and hair and
makeup as you would expected a movie like this and she holds her own I don't
think she falls behind but she's just not as funny as the other people Salma
Hayek is like ibly game to go all out as the villain of the movie and looks
absolutely fabulous doing it it is funny to think she's going to be in the
Eternals and then also I have to give a shadow to
Ari grain or Natasha while on Jessica st. Clair who all do a
very nice job as Haddish and burns friends with families and our welcome
additions every time they're on screen I also want to say that I thought it was
really nice this was like a colorblind movie there was no discussion of
ethnicity no lines drawn in that regard note no not even really any jokes about
that and I thought that was really nice I think that was I think that's also a
direction we want to see entertainment going as for Jennifer Coolidge same ol
same ol I mean she had some nice moments but her scream time could have gone to
Billy Porter who needed more so again like a boss is watchable and you know if
you should watch it or not all right so that's my review I'll share your own
