HE SAID: Too busy right now. Enjoy on your own. I’ll have to catch it when released for home viewing.
SHE SAID: Really good movie. It was great to Melissa McCarthy in a serious role as the author. While her character is sarcastically witty, it is not the funny woman role we are used to seeing her in. Richard E. Grant is wonderful as her friend and partner in crime. These two as leads are well matched. What comes across is portrayals that are engaging and revealing without asking for you to like or forgive them for what they did. SCORE: 8 (On a scale of 1 to 10)
