WHAT’S IT ABOUT?

Carol Peters (McCarthy), a shy and lonely woman, is unexpectedly chosen by the world’s first superintelligence – an artificially intelligent being (Corden) that can control any electronic device – to observe, so it can determine whether or not it shall take over the world. Carol must now prove to the hyper-intelligent being that humanity is worth preserving…

IN ONE SENTENCE, WHY SHOULD YOU BE EXCITED?

Melissa McCarthy and her husband Ben Falcone team up once again for this science-fiction comedy, which should hopefully have plenty more laughs than some of their last collaborations, including the awful Tammy and Life of the Party.

WHEN’S IT OUT?
