Melissa McCarthy (Spy), James Corden (Cats), Bobby Cannavale (Blue Jasmine), Brian Tyree Henry (If Beale Street Could Talk), Jean Smart (Sweet Home Alabama), Sam Richardson (Mike and Dave Need Wedding Dates), Sarah Baker (Tammy), Usman Ally (Just Like a Woman), Karan Soni (Deadpool), Michael Beach (Waiting to Exhale), Damon Jones (The Happytime Murders), Richie Merritt (White Boy Rick), Dipti Mehta (Victory), Ben Falcone (Can You Ever Forgive Me?)

WHO’S BEHIND THE CAMERA?

Ben Falcone (Life of the Party), director, producer; Steve Mallory (The Boss), writer; Rob Cowan (The Conjuring) and Melissa McCarthy (Tammy), producers; Fil Eisler (How to Be Single), composer; Barry Peterson (21 Jump Street), cinematographer; Tia Nolan (I Feel Pretty), editor

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?

FRIDAY 11TH DECEMBER 2020 (IN CINEMAS)
