Editors' Pick

The movie follows Michelle Darnell (McCarthy), a titan of industry who is sent to jail for insider trading. When she emerges and is ready to rebrand herself as America's latest sweetheart, not everyone she screwed over is so quick to forgive and forget.

Melissa McCarthy is joined by Kristen Bell, Peter Dinklage, Cecily Strong, Annie Mumolo and Kathy Bates in the cast . Directed by Ben Falcone, the comedy is scheduled to hit U.S. theaters on April 8, 2016.

UPDATE: Following the previously-debuted teaser, the first full trailer for "The Boss" has been unveiled. The two-minute video opens with Darnell in the show as she descends from the air with a golden eagle sculpture. It then shows the mean figure arrested by local police officers. "You're bankrupt, all of your account have been frozen," a man says.

After she exits the jail, things may not go as expected. She has to stay in the house of her employee (Bell), who has a little girl. When asked to take the girl to a meeting, Darnell plans a fierce mission that eventually goes awry.
