Melissa McCarthy is stuck in this typecasting of funny side kick/foul mouthed overweight chick, because nothing else is available. Nobody gives her other roles.I myself in acting workshops or in front of casting directors always get handed a script for the friendly sister, neighbor, a nurse because of my size. I never get a lead acting scene because I am not considered the standard in the industry. Melissa McCarthy has finally made it into movies as the lead, and a jerk like this, all he can see is her size, totally erasing the acting skills. It makes me sick. I know as a heavier actress that even if she does not respond to this (which she shouldn't), or if she puts up a brave front, it still hurts inside. So I hope she keeps her head up and smiles and gets all those acting awards that she deserves.
