Yet inevitably, introducing a third party into the business will test their friendship, creating the risk of driving a wedge between them. The business, however, has hit hard times despite some successes, forcing the level-headed Mel (Rose Byrne) to prod Haddish’s creative guru Mia to accept an overture from a cosmetics giant run by imperious beauty maven Claire Luna, in what turns out to be a juicy part for Salma Hayek, sporting a flaming red mane.Ĭlaire talks a good game, pitching herself as the answer to their prayers.

The premise and title have a fairly generic sitcom feel, with a pair of bosom pals who not only live together (“Is it weird that we’re still roommates?” one asks) but who jointly run the cosmetics start-up that they’ve launched. Enter “Like a Boss,” an R-rated gals-night-out comedy that, thanks to the talented cast, delivers a few genuinely amusing moments, but which falls a couple of glasses of chardonnay short of being a good time. Tiffany Haddish remains in high demand, the tradeoff being that she isn’t always particularly discriminating about the roles she takes.
