Melissa McCarthy has earned every drop of her massive success, not only for being funny, but also for her ability to create interesting, identifiable characters. It's nice to see a little bit of gender equality. Movie comedies have historically centered on men much more, except when it comes to rom-coms. I could easily name at least a dozen hysterically funny women working in entertainment right off the top of my head, and you probably could too. Women have long been fighting the lame misconception (perpetuated by people like Jerry Lewis and Adam Carolla) that they aren't as funny as men. It's exciting that the biggest comedy star in the country right now is a woman.
