Are we supposed to find Melissa McCarthy funny?

She disgusts me more than anything. Everyone raved about her in Bridesmaids but I don't think I found anything she did funny.

Just saw the preview for her new movie and it looks OK but again it looks like she is trying to go over the top and Will Ferrell/Jim Carrey her part.

She's funny in small doses but Hollywood is trying to shove her down our throats.

I went to see This is 40 a few weeks back and she was in two of the previews before the movie... then she was in the movie.

Agree completely. She is not funny at all. It's like she is trying to be a female Chris Farley except he was funny in addition to being fat so he played off of that. She is just fat.

Melissa McCarthy was the only thing I liked about Bridesmaids, one of the most overrated movies of the last ten years. That being said, however, she still wasn't that funny despite her being the strongest part of that film.

She was relatively funny in bridesmaids. I don't know any of her other stuff.

She's "chick funny".

In other words, she's funny but has a natural handicap that only makes her funny to about half of the population.

100% agree

like most comedies, I generally despise the over-the-top funny person, much like the Asian in The Hangover.

When people say these type of characters were the best in the movie, I immediately know to never trust their opinion on anything.
