I wouldn't disagree actually. Didn't think of her.
Jlaw hasn't really chosen films to fully milk her star power though, has she? I mean Joy, American Hustle, Silver Linings... theyre all oscar bait with limited appeal compared to ghostbusters, the heat, lucy...
And those films are marketed differently at certain audiences. I can guarantee if melissa mccarthy fronted a serious biopic it'd flounder as much as any other.
Jlaw could carry an action, rom com
or thriller if she wanted. I think people are doing her a disservice.
