"Both of them were lady-part doctors?"
This movie presents a female middle-aged superhero duo in what could have been an interesting spin on the current box-office-winning genre, but it seems to be another disappointing victim of the semi-improvised/self-indulgent malaise that besets some modern Hollywood comedies. Occasionally the material lands, but McCarthy lacks some of her sparkle, Spencer comes across as bored, and Jason Bateman tries his level best to create humour from a man with crab claws instead of hands. It is drawn out way too thinly overall, jokes are repetitively pummelled to death (which script editing and sharper direction would have remedied easily), and the whole film feels curiously lethargic as a result.
