Michelle Darnell (McCarthy) is a financial whiz who developed her cutthroat techniques while bouncing between foster homes growing up, and is now successful enough to fill stadiums with her seminars on how to make 'life-changing money.' Unfortunately, her double-crossing ways have made her plenty of enemies, including her ex-lover Renault (formerly known as Robert, and played with unhinged glee by Peter Dinklage), who gets her arrested for insider trading.By the time Michelle is released, her home and all of her valuable assets have been seized, forcing her to take refuge with former employee Claire (Kristen Bell) and the latter's precocious daughter Rachel (Ella Anderson). Instead of fully exploiting this idea, however, McCarthy eventually turns this story of a savvy, foulmouthed mogul into a goofy farce about balancing business with friendship. Comedy superstar Melissa McCarthy aims her bold, blustery style of humor at the financial gurus of the world, a group that, at this point, might be too outlandish to parody.
