The film stars Melissa McCarthy as the title character, who learns that her husband has been cheating on her. She decides to take a road trip with her alcoholic grandmother (Susan Sarandon), which of course leads to mischief (would it be a Melissa McCarthy movie without mischief?).
From the trailer (which you can watch below) it definitely seems McCarthy is returning with guns (figuratively) blazing; she knows how to make us laugh for sure. But seeing as the film is being directed by husband Ben Falcone (Bridesmaids, Enough Said), I'm hoping we get to see more of what we saw from her in Bridesmaids (which landed her an Oscar nomination!!! One of my favorite nominations ever); I hope the film can balance broad comedy with a good, complex character.
The film opens July 2.
Watch the trailer after the jump.
