A few scatological gags are scattered through the script and Arteta lays on the slapstick with Haddish handling most of it. You get the impression that he's trying to make another Bridesmaids but that his nerve and his inspiration keep failing him. Jan 23, 2020 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…

I'm overthinking, but even bad art can tell us something about ourselves. At this point, we understand how business works. Why aim for the glass ceiling at all? Jan 22, 2020 | Full Review…

Arteta has a knack for taking typical-sounding comedies and making them better by injecting them with heart, humor and authenticity. That's what he does here, and he does it like a boss. Jan 20, 2020 | Rating: B | Full Review…

True to its workplace-themed title, "Like a Boss" feels like a chore someone was handed. Jan 13, 2020 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

How do you make a movie with Tiffany Haddish, Rose Byrne, Jennifer Coolidge, and Billy Porter, not to mention Salma Hayek in full human-cartoon form, and have it be so devoid of joy? Jan 11, 2020 | Full Review…

Despite a briefly promising beginning, "Like a Boss" soon proves itself disappointingly shallow, a wanna-be female empowerment movie with a paper-thin plot seemingly concocted in 20 minutes and scrawled on the back of a napkin. Jan 10, 2020 | Rating: 1.5/4 | Full Review…

Like a Boss is a truly terrible movie that wastes the talents of a good cast in material that would be beneath everyone with the exception of Rob Schneider. Jan 25, 2020 | Rating: 1/4 | Full Review…

Given how much proven talent there is collectively on board here ... you can't help but feel deflated when the resulting product is so mediocre, so by-the-numbers, and so predictable. Jan 25, 2020 | Full Review…

[A] flat and flimsy premise deserving of an immediate pink slip. The monotonous Like a Boss drags out its cockeyed comedic conflict with all the originality and imagination of cherry-colored lip gloss. Jan 23, 2020 | Rating: 2/5 | Full Review…

Both Haddish and Byrne are very talented comedians. But this is not their finest hour-and-20-minutes. Everything about this flat, fatuous scenario feels forced and rushed. Jan 23, 2020 | Rating: 1.5/5 | Full Review…

There is a pretty decent fistful of laughs in the film, mostly from Rose Byrne, who has been stealing scenes in comedy films since Bridesmaids...Ironically, the film was intended as a vehicle for Tiffany Haddish, though she can't quite match her co-star. Jan 22, 2020 | Rating: 2.5/5 | Full Review…
