Karen Soni is also a standout as Claire's assistant Josh, proving the depth of comedy talent in the Like A Boss cast.
Jennifer Coolidge and Billy Porter are also incredibly entertaining as Mia and Mel's employees Sydney and Barrett, roles that do play to the actors' comedy strengths. Hayek seems to be having a blast as the " fierst" Claire Luna, delivering some of the best line-readings in the movie (particularly one about Etsy). In fact, Haddish and Byrne are best when portraying the sweet side of Mia and Mel's friendship, while the supporting cast steals much of the comedy spotlight. Both actresses have shown a knack for R-rated comedy in the past, but Like A Boss doesn't really play to their strengths in that arena. Though there are better jokes in Like A Boss than in the movie's trailers, they're only marginally better.Īs for the film's stars, Haddish and Byrne work fine as a comedic duo, playing off each other well enough, but never quite nailing the chemistry that makes some of the best comedic pairs shine on screen. The comedy feels far more refreshing when the jokes stem from Mia and Mel working together than when they're pitted against each other, since the latter situation feels contrived for comedy and plot purposes.
There's nothing really fresh or new about the humor in Like A Boss, though some of the jokes are funny enough to get a laugh. This conflict is the root of much of the humor in Like A Boss, which tends toward raunchy R-rated comedy, pitting Mel and Mia against one another as they fight over what to do about Claire. Mia quickly realizes that Claire's method of running a cosmetics company doesn't align with Mia & Mel, but Mel is desperate for Claire's approval - and the security that comes with the mogul's investment. Since their company isn't doing very well, Mel insists that she and Mia take a meeting with beauty mogul Claire Luna (Salma Hayek), who's interested in supporting their business.
