Melissa McCarthy: The Queen of Comedy

Who do you think is the funniest actress in Hollywood? 

Over the years, I have admired many different comedian actresses, including Tina Fey, Sarah Silverman, Anna Faris, Sandra Bullock, the list goes on! 

However, in this day and age, only one actress stands out above others: 

Melissa McCarthy

Melissa started her career as a stand-up comedian in New York City, where she performed comedic acts at New York's famous venues, Stand Up New York and The Improv. She moved to Los Angeles in the 1990s and began her acting career there. 

In my opinion, Melissa McCarthy is today's true Queen of Comedy. Over the years, she has been in some of the decade's funniest films, and these films were hilarious due in large part to her roles. Although many of you know her from her hit TV series "Mike & Molly", she became very well known as a comedian for her theatrical debuts. 

One of my favorite movies of all time is "Bridesmaids", and the reason for that is because of Melissa McCarthy. Although the movie's cast is mainly made up of comedians from Saturday Night Live, Melissa's role takes the movie to a whole new level. She brings in that "awkwardly funny" aspect that we have grown to see in comedies over the last few years. 

If you haven't seen "Bridesmaids"yet, you need to check it out! I promise you will be on the floor laughing!!

When I first saw that movie, I thought to myself, She needs to come out with a new movie right now. I can't wait! And then, my prayers were answered. "Identity Thief" was released in 2013, in which Melissa McCarthy had the main role. 










Although I thought the movie was hilarious, it was not Melissa's funniest. I was a little disappointed at first, but then "The Heat" came out, starring Melissa McCarthy and Sandra Bullock. If you haven't gotten a chance to see "The Heat", I strongly suggest you check it out. The film is about an FBI Special Agent (Sandra Bullock) who enlists the help of a local Boston Police Officer to take down a brutal drug lord. I think that Melissa's role in this movie solidified her status as the "Queen of Comedy" and hopefully, she will bring us more to come!
