7/20/2023 0 Comments Beauty and the boss movieClaire Luna decides to play divide and conquer with the two, knowing that if they can’t turn their business around, the contract will give her 2 more percentage points in the company - a controlling share. Mia and Mel agree to sell a 49 percent stake in their eponymous company to Claire Luna without consulting a lawyer or fully reading the contract that deliberately sets them up to fail. Porter and Coolidge play Mia and Mel’s employees. But they’re in debt to the tune of about $500,000, so they take a meeting with Claire Luna (Hayek), the crazed, diabolical CEO of a cosmetics empire called Oviedo. She and her best friend Mel (Byrne), have launched their own boutique makeup company, with Mia as the creative genius who mixes colors and Mel handling the business. Haddish co-stars as an Atlanta makeup artist named Mia. It’s a shame too, because Like a Boss, written by Sam Pittman and Adam Cole-Kelly, based on a story by Danielle Sanchez-Witzel, and directed by Miguel Arteta, boasts a cast of terrific comic actors: Tiffany Haddish, Rose Byrne, and Salma Hayek, with supporting turns from Billy Porter and Jennifer Coolidge.įrom left to right: Tiffany Haddish as Mia, Karan Soni as Josh, Salma Hayek as Claire Luna, and Rose Byrne as Mel in Like a Boss from Paramount Pictures. This year’s specimen is Like a Boss, which is an example of why the film industry’s version of a junk drawer exists. Unless it’s making an awards run, like Just Mercy, which had a limited opening last month to qualify for awards season and is opening nationwide Friday, there’s a good chance that a movie opening in January is one that has not engendered much institutional enthusiasm. In the film industry, the few weeks between New Year’s Day and the beginning of the Sundance Film Festival are known as Dump Month.
