THUNDER FORCE

Cert 12

106 mins

BBFC advice: Contains  crude humour, language, violence

It is six years since I wrote of the film Tammy: "Melissa McCarthy should be careful. Self-mockery and playing dimwits will only last her so long."

Well, I was wrong. 

True, she proved she can act in the overrated Can You Ever Forgive Me? but with that exception, she is still playing the same tune and still raking in the dollars.

And she even gets to share the dosh with her husband< Ben Falcone, who directed, produced and was among the cast of the terribly lame Thunder Force.

However, neither Mrs W nor I could fathom why Octavia Spencer, Melissa Leo and Jason Bateman had anything to do with a film which was so obviously beneath them. I guess money talks.

The poster of Thunder Force had already suggested that this would be a baseline comedy but it was below even our low expectation.

McCarthy and Spencer play Lydia and Emily, former childhood friends who live in a world terrorised by supervillains known as miscreants.

They had been responsible for the death of Emily's parents and she vows to take revenge on them.

So, she becomes a model student, taking in every grain of knowledge which is going to help her defeat the miscreants.

In adulthood, the much less brainy Lydia ends up as a forklift truck driver who pines for her friend who is a high-profile entrepreneur.

However, fate inevitably bring them together and they get set to fight the bad guys in the shape of a corrupt politician (Bobby Cannavale) and Crab Man (Bateman)

I should confess that Mrs W laughed out loud twice and I guffawed once. I almost felt guilty because those oases of merriment were out of keeping with the predictable boredom of the rest of the movie.

I know McCarthy is capable of better than this - I saw her superb take-off of Donald Trump's beleaguered Press Secretary on Saturday Night Live and the aforementioned Can You Ever Forgive Me?

But she clearly likes to shake the money tree and while audiences still go for lowest-common-denominator humour, she and her hubby will continue to shake the money tree.

Thunder Force is just another movie to add to the roll of dishonour.

Reasons to watch: Melissa McCarthy doing what Melissa McCarthy does 

Reasons to avoid: Same old, same old.

Laughs: Two

Jumps: None

Vomit: Yes

Nudity: None

Overall rating: 3.5/10

Did you know? Melissa McCarthy has been nominated for an Emmy award eight times, three times for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for Mike & Molly, and five times for Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series for Saturday Night Live.

The final word. Ben Falcone: "If you're an artist, if you're not growing, you're dying. I think it's really important to stay open to new ideas and fresh ideas, but also to adhere to the idea that some things like camera coverage or whatever that are one way for a reason. Like, lighting should be beautiful, and these sorts of things. We're learning as we go and continue to learn, and I think it's only getting better and more fun." Screen Rant
