Can anyone please explain why this women is a successful Hollywood actress
I've now witnessed her in 5/6 movies and every time I've turned off within 30 mins of any film she's been in, last night after watching 30 mins of TAMMY on Sky movies once again I could no longer proceed in watching this sorry excuse of Comedy, will anyone on NSC surprise me by saying this women is funny

It seems "comedy" filmmakers think her wisecracking grotesque fatness with a heart will appeal to a country of hugely obese people. I've walked out - not waddled obese Meade suspecters - of two films in my lifetime, i think, and Identity Thief was one of them. Awful stuff. There is some horrible cack in the world of comedy out there without her though. I sat through Hot Tub Time Machine 2, which was down there with some of her tripe.

She specialises in chick flicks and plays a loud and annoying character. I'm not surprised you are not sold on her.

However, if she was a pin up, this thread wouldn't exist. There are plenty of males that do not match up to Diaz or Lopez.

Cameron Diaz films are equally as crap but didn't start a thread on her as she's not as current as Mcarthey

McCarthy is a talented actress. She doesn't conform to the Hollywood expectancy.

She's typecasted. Don't watch the films she appears in, but don't criticise her look. She's doing well for herself. She's got a career and earnings most people would love.

She's not a Lopez or Diaz, but I think she is quite cute.

I didn't criticise her look but stated she isn't funny, you decided to pick up an agenda about her size and looks because I don't find her funny or entertaining

Peter Kay is a fat git
But I find him hilarious as I did/or do with Oliver Hardy, when it comes to comedy size or looks doesn't matter

Fair enough. I bekieve that this thread would not have been started if she was a Hollywood hot. Apologies, if I have done you a disservice.

To explain her success you only have to look at some of the most financially successful films that have been awful films(imo) over the years. It's the female $ that has driven it's success.

Same with music.

They have the numbers and financial clout to turn utter crap into a gold mine.

One Direction and Justin Bieber are great examples of this phenomenon.

It's got nothing to do with her appearance. She's simply not in my opinion at all talented, but rather unfunny, and as you suggest, loud and annoying, regardless of how she looks.

I can't stand those actresses you mention either, although they are not as bad as Mcarthey. I find it quite astonishing she's made a good career for herself.
