Dinklage, affecting an elaborately put-on accent and donning silly designer clothes, has a ball showing off his under-exploited comedic chops, although his performance, like much of the proceedings in general, veers too heavily into caricature. Melissa McCarthy: I Haven't Been Asked Back for 'Gilmore Girls' Revivalīell, whose Claire is also involved in a subplot involving her budding romance with a besotted co-worker (an appealingly loose Taylor Labine), effectively plays straight man to the outrageous McCarthy, even gamely participating in a lengthy routine in which she and McCarthy vigorously grope each other’s breasts. The ensuing corporate intrigue culminates in a rooftop swordfight between Michelle and her former lover who’s still besotted with her. Meanwhile, Renault schemes to take over the burgeoning business, with Michelle mistakenly getting the impression that Claire is in cahoots with him. The venture is an instant success, resulting in an intense rivalry between the two groups that leads to a knock-down-drag-out brawl in which the adolescent girls and their adult chaperones mercilessly pummel each other in Sam Peckinpah-style slow motion. Reluctantly agreeing to escort Rachel to a meeting of her after-school group the Dandelions, Michelle is inspired by their Girls Scout-style cookie-selling operation and hatches a plan to start a rival group, “Darnell’s Darlings,” to sell Claire’s delicious home-baked brownies. Claire, who’s now working at a low-level office job, initially resists having her former boss as her houseguest, but finally gives in and allows Michelle to sleep on her couch until she can get back on her feet. Upon her release she discovers that her home has been taken away and her assets have been stripped, leaving her little recourse but to show up at the door of the apartment of Claire and her pre-teen daughter Rachel (Ella Anderson). But when Michelle once again screws over her rival Renault on a deal, he spills the beans to the authorities about her nefarious business activities, and the Club Fed prison gates clang shut on her for six months.
