She made that movie what it was honestly she was the only funny person really in that whole entire movie. If the others had good scripts like hers
and lines that movie would have been better.

Wait they're shutting down the forum?
Where else will I get to see the craziness that Navaros exudes when it gets posted to FSTDT??
What's that Stimbo? We still have godschild, little rick, and the rest?
Okay, nevermind then...

I can totally see that. I do love McCarthey. I just wish she'd go a little more multidimensional as an actress. I really enjoyed her in Spy and Identity Thief. I guess her character in Identity Thief was a little different, but there's always that underlying "I'm pathetic, but still pretty decent" theme in everything of hers I've seen. In Identity Thief it was, "I'm pathetic, but deep down I'm a decent person" where it's usually, "I'm pathetic, but deep down I'm pretty bad-ass", as it was in Ghostbusters.
Have you ever noticed all the drug commercials on TV lately? Why is it the side effects never include penile enlargement or super powers?
Side effects may include super powers or enlarged penis which may become permanent with continued use. Stop taking Killatol immediately and consult your doctor if you experience penis enlargement of more than 3 inches, laser vision, superhuman strength, invulnerability, the ability to explode heads with your mind or time travel. Killatoll is not for everyone, especially those who already have convertibles or vehicles of ridiculous size to supplement penis size.

The only things I've seen her in are Ghostbusters: Feminist Edition and the recent SNL sketches, and she steals the show in both. In fact the main reason I watched those sketches was because of her. I'll have to check out her other stuff.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

She definitely gives memorable performances. Normally I hate the roles where you're embarrassed for the actor/actress (think Superstar), but McCarthy pulls it off. Probably because you're not too embarrassed for her, she's just a little pathetic. Come to think of it, that's kind of how Moranis did it.

At least i give Moranis credit he didn't get pushed around too much but in Mccarthys case it's like it's funny but
damn show some back bone be like nah i don't this to happen to me. Because with the super bowl commercial
that sums up her roles in movies always getting hurt and stuff.

We rented the original and watched it one night, then saw the remake in the theater the next day. Remake was actually better.
