We ranked every Melissa McCarthy movie performance, and there are more valleys than peaks here
Photo-Illustration: Maya Robinson/Vulture This story was first published in 2018 and has been updated to include Melissa McCarthy’s more recent films.
Ranking her performances proves to be a bit bittersweet. Quite simply, there are more valleys than peaks — too often, we root for her more than the movie she’s in.
