Now on their fifth outing as collaborative partners (their first being the matriarchal misfire
Tammy), Melissa McCarthy and director/husband Ben Falcone have struck a comfortable rhythm in their filmmaking. McCarthy funnels her brazen energy into an imperfect, often gauche comedy lead, while Falcone hones in on the foul-mouthed talents of his comedy partner. The surrounding film often feels thin and aimless as a result.
McCarthy s performance is defined by the crotch-gag brand of comedy which once characterised her career.
For
Thunder Force the pair tackle a high-concept, family-friendly sci-fi. While McCarthy’s Lydia and Octavia Spencer’s Emily wrestle with the dynamics of their longstanding friendship Lydia is protective but cavalier, Emily, motivated by grief, is devoted to science a small band of caricature mutants attack their city. After a calamitous incident at Emily’s giant genetics company where she s developing her own superhuman abilities, Lydia also gains powers and joins her friend in the quest to take back their home city.
