(Nathan M Rose) 11/25/2014 10:45 PM EDT In 2011 New Line Cinema's unleashed a movie that most of Middle America could relate to entitled Horrible Bosses. The movie had a simple premise.

(Nathan M Rose) 11/10/2014 9:59 PM EDT I don't like Melissa McCarthy. I personally never found her funny. Her latest attempt at humor, Tammy, did not change my mind at all. In fact it only solidified the idea that I will go out of my way not to watch her films.
