This; what's unfortunate is that they get blamed for the badness of it and women are, once again, relegated to the back seat and the myth that "women aren't funny."
Maybe the writing and director could be held accountable?
All 4 in that movie are funny with the right stuff.
I saw a clip once comparing the OG and that one.
Basically the 2016 version showed us everything and told us what's supposed to funny instead of letting the audience think about it.
The example was the elevator scene in the original: they all realize they never actually tested the packs just as they fire them up. Now we laugh anticipating what's about to happen.
In the 2016 one they show the testing and it's this very forced cartoonish sequence in an alley.
It was too bad because I'd put Wiig and McCarthy as two of the better ones at physical comedic timing especially at that time.
