Finally, an American action/comedy that gets the tone just about right, not too serious and not too silly (well, almost.) Melissa McCarthy shows she can pull her weight in a lead role, and speaking of which what a relief that we are spared from enduring a parade of fat jokes - imagine that, you can still be funny without taking cheap shots! Hats off to Paul Feig! Rated a hard 'R' for language, would be a close call who has the highest number of fucks:wordcount ratio, McCarthy or Rose Byrne in a cracking portrayal as the Eva Green-like evil uberbitch.
