A arrogant liar

Isrel has imitated more than 400 celebrity letters, although it is not a huge sum of money, but it can improve her post-employment plight. But there are two things to say about this: First, Iserel was eliminated from the publishing industry. It can be seen that in the 1980s, the United States no longer had literary requirements for publications, and the idol effect was still practiced, and writers did not require it. No matter how hard, packaging and deduction are all the rage. Second, as a reporter for The New York Times, Isrel has published a best-selling book. While she imitates celebrity letters, you can see the strength of her creation, and she also achieves that every sentence she writes fits very well. imitation object.

Isrel, whose life is in a mess, has only one cat by her side. Because she is getting older and sloppy, the publishing company decisively abandoned her! Cats and drinking became her way of killing loneliness. In the end, she met an exaggerated and unreliable gay friend. Although they disliked each other, in times of trouble, they became people who trusted each other. Although, Isrel was also imprisoned because of this friend's unreliability.

The scene where they meet again is Melissa McCarthy and Richard Grant's most touching rivalry. They cherish each other and thank each other for their company, but after all, they are not all the way, and it is difficult for them to be companions for a while. This kind of movie depicting the two down-and-out people at the bottom is very similar to a 2017 movie "Nowhere to Home". It all describes the little people fighting against the vested interests of the society. Although the final outcome is not good, maybe this is the truth of life. , the rules of society are like this, although it is extremely unreasonable, but if you insist on screwing it, you will eventually be eliminated by society.

This is a relatively light-hearted drama. Comedian Melissa McCarthy perfectly interprets this unwilling middle-aged female writer, extracting the resolute side of the character's character, the market spirit and the street ruffian, but also very valued emotional person. The performance is too delicate, you can feel that the prototype characters are like this!
