Box Office Flop or Blockbuster 2020? - Like a Boss


Oh dear, is it two end of January flops in a row? What happens when I ask is Like a Boss a Box Office Flop or Blockbuster in 2020?

Here is the rude trailer first up...



So looking at it's box office ($22M) versus budget ($29M) things are not looking good. Whilst the reviews aren't much better. Sorry Rose I think Bridesmaids set the bar a little too high for chick comedies. Bridesmaids when it came it was a first, it was raw, laugh out loud funny whilst also having heart. Now in 2020 we get Like a Boss.

After the week I had, Like a Boss however was refreshing. A strange few castings like Jimmy O Yang and Salma Hayek, however Billy Porter and Tiffany Haddish shone.

Rose Byrne of course was sensational, not to mention Jacob Latimore (The Chi) was damn fine!

Jennifer Coolidge also needs a call out, some of her lines went down literally like a lead balloon. Her character was honestly the worst.

This all taken into account it's only 83 minutes while at least the first half is enjoyable the second half sort of drags a bit. Leave the emotions out, it's a comedy!

I'll pass this and a little bit, because the start of 2020, we need a laugh, Hollywood more comedies please. Like Now! 3 Stars.
