New BBC drama Bodyguard has swept the nation with its gripping first two episodes, which aired Sunday and Monday night respectively.

The central plot of Line of Duty writer Jed Mercurio’s show is the complex relationship between Home Secretary Julia and her new personal protection officer and bodyguard David Budd.

The pair’s electric chemistry has had viewers glued to screens throughout, so it may surprise many to learn the actors were once in such a risqué film together called Complicity.

Richard, 32, was only 13 years old at the time, and played a young version of murderer Andy.

Conversely Keeley, who is now 42, was 24 when she filmed a completely naked sex scene as Yvonne with Jonny Lee Miller, who played lead Cameron Colley.

Pictures of the scene show Keeley writhing on top of her co-star, as her longer blonde locks feel across her face.

Viewers can even see the actress’s full frontal body when she enters what appears to be Cameron’s bedroom.

Teasing her romantic partner, Yvonne tilts her head suggestively before teasing her curves in front of the tattooed hunk.

The pair can then be seen sharing a steamy bubble bath together.

The little-known film introduced Keeley and Richard in 2000, but it turns out the English and Scottish actors didn’t even remember the occasion.

In a report from The Sun, Keeley said recently: “It was quite a funny moment when I realised I’d worked with Richard when he was a child.”

Bodyguard is a six-part drama set in Westminster Houses of Parliament, following a series of horrific terror attacks.

A new theory is now circling Julia is hiding a terrible secret about orchestrating the incidents in a bid to set in motion a new leadership challenge to become the next Prime Minister.

David suffers from PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) and secretly blames his charge for her controversial actions within the government, but his complex feelings have led to the pair entering into their own sexual relationship.

Some fans believe David’s decisions are all leading to an almighty conclusion which will see the character either kill or injure the Home Secretary in an attempt to remove her from power.

Sharing her enthusiasm, for the intense role, Keeley also told The Daily Mail she owes the opportunity to executive producer Jed.

She revealed: “It was Jed casting me in Line Of Duty that gave me a great platform for other roles.

“And this was very good timing because I’d just finished The Durrells, so to do something like Bodyguard which is the complete opposite is brilliant.”

Lady Amelia Windsor, 22, went for a very un-royal look when attending the Bvlgari FESTA Gala Dinner at Banqueting House last night.

The young royal went for a black PVC body suit with corset detailing, and a black netted skirt over the top.

Its skirt revealed a flash of leg as it opened at the front, showing off her limbs and black stilettos with bow detailing.

Her black and white clutch bag accented the look along with a bejewelled snake choker.

The dress also showed off her wrist tattoo of two animals, appearing to be two rhinos.

She completed the look with her blonde hair slicked back, along with gold bracelets adorning her arms and a number of earnings in her left ear.

Lady Amelia joined Doina Clobanu, fashion blogger turned model, and Tess Ward, food blogger and ex of Harry Styles.

The royal is a fan of fashion herself, having worked in fashion and interned at Vogue in Paris.

She is currently 36th in line to the throne, and it the granddaughter of the Duke of Kent.

While a student at Edinburgh, she is also signed to Storm modelling agency who also represent Kate Moss.

Lady Amelia previously stepped out last month to attend the Fashioned From Nature VIP preview at The V&A.

The summery look rocked a green floral dress that clung to her figure.

Side slits allowed movement and a flash of her tanned legs, and silver platform heels finished the look.

A bold orange necklace gave a pop of colour to the look.

The stunning woman also went for minimalist make up to keep the look understated.

She missed the fashion mark earlier this year when attending London Fashion Week.

The 22-year-old, attending the Lulu Guinness presentation, went for a baggy printed trousers that resembled pyjama bottoms.

A pink high neck lace top with a diamond pattern and clashing heeled shoes were also part of the ensemble.

An oversized brown fur jacket drowned Lady Amelia‘s figure to finish off the bizarre look.

It was a departure from her usual elegant styles.

She plays the prim and proper Alex Dunphy on the smash hit comedy series.

In real life, though, the starlet goes to great lengths to distance herself from her frumpy small screen image and has hit headlines in a series of provocative and revealing red carpet outfits. The 20-year-old also posts sexy selfies and poses for flesh-flashing photoshoots.

Her latest movie shows her stripping for a bubble bath and romping in bed with a handsome co-star.

She also hit the red carpet with Reynolds in a skimpy plunging gold dress to promote the movie recently.

Winter clearly relishes the chance to show and more sensual side, and a fine set of pins, as she takes a laguorous bath.

With bubbles barely concealing her modesty, she playfully extends her bare legs like a classic old school sex symbol.

Even more is revealed when she plays in the bedroom with her young lover.

One titilating moment sees her bend over in a pair of lacy undewear. As she does so, her skimpy top rides up revealing her bare breasts.

It’s a million miles away from the wholesome show which made her famous and would have on-screen dad Phil Dunphy dashing for the smelling salts. Her naughty big sister, Hayley, however, would just be jealous of all the attention she is getting…

Cinematic comedy has a long history of men being idiots. Of men making mistakes. Of men getting in over their heads. Of men being deadbeat losers who make a series of increasingly poor decisions and whose lives spiral into chaotic, raunchy anarchy. Of men, despite giving us every reason to disregard them, ultimately winning our affection.

What Never Goin’ Back does is take a long hard look at a familiar comedic template and ask, “But what if ladies?” And then it does it better than just about everyone else.

If Bridesmaids helped open the door for women to get involved with Judd Apatow’s unique brand of humane raunch, Never Goin’ Back smashes the gates to a darker, more twisted and psychotic comedic landscape. In her feature debut, writer/director Augustine Frizzell blasts an air horn in the face of good taste, pees on your best rug, and smokes all of your best weed. And you still want to give her movie a big ol’ hug because it never loses sight of letting you fall for the lovely, wholly believable, and bizarrely likable morons at the center of the action.

Set in a small Texas town that has seen better days, Never Goin’ Back follows two low-income teenage besties with one goal: they’re going to the beach in a week. They’re going to Galveston. Who cares if they spent their rent money to make it happen! They’ll work some extra shifts at the diner. And then things go wrong. And then they go spectacularly wrong. And then they go morbidly, hands-over-eyes, “please stop before someone gets hurt” wrong. This is a movie about a situation wildly escalating out of control…but it literally begins with their home being robbed and them being arrested. That’s where it starts. To say more would only prepare you for the cringe. This is a cringe you don’t want to be ready for.

Is it reductive to reduce a filmmaker down to the other artists whose work strikes similar chords? Maybe. But Never Goin’ Back recalls the work of a handful of specific filmmakers.

I thought about Richard Linklater, another Texas filmmaker with a keen eye for the state’s weirder, more off-kilter corners. I thought about him as Never Goin’ Back ambled from situation to situation, from predicament to predicament. This is very much a hangout movie, a film where plot is secondary to spending time with a group of people as they go about their day. Our best friends over these somehow equally lethargic and hectic days are Angela (Maia Mitchell) and Jessie (Camila Morrone), 17-year-olds attached at the hip and for good reason: you simply can’t imagine these two not being best friends forever. The chemistry between Angela and Jessie feels impossibly, uncomfortably real, a testament to the performances from Mitchell and Morrone. They’re self-destructive, lazy, irresponsible, and whirlwinds of chaos…but they’re also sweet, clever, and always looking out for one another. In other words, they’re only human. Forgive them their transgressions.

I thought about Sean Baker, another filmmaker with an interest in low-income communities and the colorful characters who inhabit the fringes of society. Like Tangerine and The Florida Project, Never Goin’ Back is very much a portrait of a specific place, and not one you’ll be hankering to visit. But that doesn’t make it feel any less like home, nor does it make the cast of characters who live here feel any less like your buddies. Angela and Jessie are our tour guides, but the film is packed with lively characters. There’s the older brother with his gang of amateur screw-ups. There’s the pervert roommate with the convenient gig at the sandwich shop. There’s the friend who throws parties at his g-maw’s house and probably should label his marijuana-laced cookies better. These people get on your last nerve. You want to shout at them and scream at them. And then you want to chill out with them because hey, they’re just going to be themselves and you might as well join in. There’s an authenticity to these morons that rings true, a suggestion that they’re better people trapped within an environment that asks so little of them. Spending time with them is a hoot. A sad, sad hoot.

I thought about Jody Hill, the acidic filmmaker behind Observe and Report, Eastbound & Down, and Vice Principals, and how his comedy punches below the belt and draws blood. Never Goin’ Back is screamingly funny and relentless in its crudeness. It wallows with its characters, who are so used to the gutter that they wouldn’t know where else to go. Frizzell stages one of the best pot jokes of all time, one involving a killer needle drop and a bunch of pancakes. She finds ways to top even the raunchiest comedies out there, setting a new standard for vomit and shit jokes. Never Goin’ Back is a relaxed hangout movie until it isn’t, unleashing the raunch with a firehose. There’s something thrilling about its willingness to disgust, to allow its heroines to plummet to the grotesque lows of so many male comedians. As things get worse and more unstable, the film demands that we stay on board with these lovely idiots as they make every single incorrect decision they could possible make. The film’s refusal to punish them stands out – tomorrow is another day and maybe, just maybe, they’ll learn something and get better. Probably not. But then again, there’s always next week.

Comedies are rarely this gross and this sweet, this deranged and this honest, this wild and this chill. And even rarer is one starring women from a female filmmaker, a cast and crew capable of melding gross-out and hang-out with a uniquely feminine spin. While it may be reductive to describe Frizzell’s obvious talents by comparing her to three male filmmakers, perhaps that’s the best way to sum up how special this film is. It refuses to be just one thing. It’s an all-you-can-eat buffet of desperation and sweetness. And shit. So much shit.

/Film Rating: 9 out of 10

A24 will release Never Goin’ Back later this year.

  • Carl’s Jr. is arguably known more for its provocative ads than its burgers, but the chain pivoted away from its controversial image in 2017.
  • The chain just opened a location in New York City, and I decided to try it for the first time. 
  • The burgers were underwhelming, but the fries were fantastic. 

I’d never been to a Carl’s Jr. before, but I certainly knew about it. Through some rather controversial ad campaigns, the brand has certainly made itself a household name over the years.

Paris Hilton crawling across the soapy hood of a Bentley, a burger in hand. Kate Upton writhing around in the backseat of a convertible, enjoying the chain’s patty melt a bit too much. A (barely) bikini-clad Charlotte McKinney setting up visual double-entendres left and right at a farmer’s market.

Critics slammed the chain’s sex-centric advertising, with feminist groups decrying the objectification of women and the comparison to pieces of meat. For better or worse, it made the chain — and its parent company, CKE Restaurants — pretty memorable. 

The company’s former CEO, Andy Puzder, told Entrepreneur in 2015, “I like our ads. I like beautiful women eating burgers in bikinis. I think it’s very American.” 

Puzder was also unsuccessfully nominated as Trump’s labor secretary.

With all that beef swirling about, I was well aware of Carl’s Jr., despite having never seen one in my life. 

But starting last year, Carl’s Jr. turned over a new leaf, scrubbing up its image as it began to tackle expansion into the Northeast. CKE currently operates about 3,300 locations of Carl’s Jr. and Hardee’s across the country. It just opened a new Carl’s Jr. location in Manhattan, so my opportunity to try the scandalous chain had arrived at last.

Do the burgers earn the same buzz that the chain’s titillating image did? I had to find out. So I hopped on the subway and headed towards Penn Station where the new outpost was — and as luck would have it, I was pretty hungry.  

The first Carl’s Jr. outpost in Manhattan is on 7th Avenue, right across from Penn Station. Hilariously, considering the chain’s former image, it’s right next to a Hooters.

I went around 1:30 p.m., when I assumed the lunch rush would be over — but the restaurant was packed even then. I waited in line for at least 10 minutes.

Hollis Johnson/Business Insider

During the long wait, I was comforted by Carl’s Jr.’s iconic “Happy Star,” a beaming and benevolent deity smiling down upon us weary, hungry line-waiters.

The Australian actress is no stranger to nudity in her movies.

She often chooses provocative roles and is fearless in exposing her body and her emotions on camera.

Her role in the disturbing The Killing Of A Sacred Deer marks one of her forays into psychological horror. Kidman and Farrell play a married couple whose lives take a terrifying turn when they befriend a troubled young man.

SCROLL DOWN FOR NICOLE KIDMAN GALLERY

The sex scene is a moment of relief from the eerie building terror and tension.

Kidman turned 50 this year, but remains one of the great big screen sirens and shows of her sensational figure as she whips off her bra and rolls around seductively on the bed.

She also beguiled audiences in the smash hit TV series BIg Little Lies, playing another beautiful but tormented wife.

The Killing Of A Sacred Deer is the latest movie from writer/director Yorgos Lanthimos.

Colin Farrell and Nicole Kidman star alongside Barry Keoghan as the terrifying young man, with Alicia Silverstone as his mother. 

Farrell is a surgeon and Keoghan plays the son of a patient who died on his operating table who exacts a cruel and horrifying revenge on his family.

Kidman is no stranger to controversial sex and nude scenes in her movies.

In 2004 there wa san uproar when she shared a bath with a 10-year-old boy in the movie Birth.

Eight years later she hit headlines after the release of The Paperboy. The star claimed she did not even remember shooting some of the sex scenes until the movie came out. One particular scene invloved her character urinating on co-star Zac Efron.

The ITV soap’s harrowing “Who killed Emma?” storyline continued to perplex fans as Adam (played by Adam Thomas) was arrested for her murder on tonight’s gripping instalment. 

But some fans were stopped in their tracks when they spotted an unusual newspaper board on the village street. 

The Hotten Courier frontpage appeared to read: “Phallic cloud…” but frustratingly the next two words were obscured.

Faith Dingle (Sally Dexter) conveniently stood in front of the amusingly placed board as she had a conversation with Eric Pollard (Chris Chattel) and his fellow member of the local council. 

Some eagle-eyed viewers took to Twitter to debate the exact headline written on the prop.

“@emmerdale @ITV what’s this headline??? #emmerdale,” one person wrote. 

Another added: “What’s the rest of the headline…phallic means penis, right? #emmerdale #itv”

Some fans enjoyed the seemingly cheeky placement however, especially amid the difficult atmosphere in the village following Emma’s (Gillian Kearney) death. 

“Someone on the @emmerdale team has a sense of humour. I’m dying to know what competition the phallic cloud won,” one person wrote.

Meanwhile, Victoria (Isabel Hodgins) was convinced she knew who Emma’s killer was, as she told her boyfriend: “Whoever killed Emma put that in your car, that’s the only thing that makes sense. 

“And since Cain was trying to help you out, however stupidly the question is, was it Pete or was it Ross?”

Emmerdale continues tomorrow at 7pm on ITV.

The 1980s soap opera has been given a makeover and been brought into the modern era by the creator of The OC and Gossip Girl, Josh Schwartz.

Still boasting as much glamour and backstabbing as the iconic series, the new extended video also teased many risqué relationships and more steamy scenes.

Dynasty’s central plot is still the same as the new show follows the story of two of America’s wealthiest families, the Carringtons and the Colbys.

At the heart of the series is Fallon Carrington (played by Elizabeth Gillies), an heiress who is on track to become the COO of her father’s global energy empire.

But things soon go downhill for Fallon when her father Blake Carrington (Grant Show) summons her and her brother Steve (James Mackay) to the family home in Atlanta.

In the trailer, Fallon is horrified when she sees her father romping on his desk with a woman who turns out to be her stepmother-to-be.

Shocked to learn the young woman Cristal (Nathalie Kellye) is her father’s fiancee, Fallon becomes increasingly paranoid and sets out to prove she is certainly after more than his wealth.

Expect plenty of backstabbing, devious plots and raunchy shots in this series minus the irreplaceable Joan Collins.

The Dynasty Reboot airs on Netflix on Thursday 12th October, with episodes airing weekly.

Though in the last decade, women have found more work as directors and showrunners on TV, movies are still in the Stone Age when it comes to gender equality. In fact, a recent study showed that in 2016, only 7% of the 250 highest-grossing movies were directed by women, a 2% drop from the year before. 

There’s no better example of this imbalance than the male-dominated comedy movie market, where women are rarely ever given the opportunity to helm outside of rom-coms. So even though there has been needed attention and praise for recent releases like Patty Jenkins’ “Wonder Woman” and Sofia Coppola’s “The Beguiled,” we shouldn’t ignore the significance of Sony releasing Lucia Aniello’s raunchy R-rated comedy “Rough Night” on Friday.

In the last 20 years, there aren’t many examples of women making studio R-rated comedies. The three “Bridget Jones” movies were all helmed by women (Sharon Maguire did the first and third movies, Beeban Kidron made the second), in 2009 Nancy Meyers made “It’s Complicated,” and then you have to go all the way back to 1998’s Dave Chappelle-starring classic “Half Baked,” directed by Tamra Davis. So Aniello, who is best known for directing and cowriting many episodes of the Comedy Central hit “Broad City,” is the latest on a very short list. Which she wasn’t aware of for a while.

Rough Night 3 Sony finalSony“I think it’s a big deal because it’s my first movie, period,” Aniello recently told Business Insider. “That’s why it feels like a pretty big moment for me. The fact that there’s this additional curse thing that has been broken, which I didn’t know about until a few weeks ago, I just hope in some small way if this movie is able to pave the way for anybody else to make an R comedy by women for women, then I think it’s done its job.”

Aniello and her partner Paul W. Downs (who along with being a writer on “Broad City” also plays Trey on the show) wrote the script for “Rough Night” during a break between seasons of “Broad City.” While much of the humor and story on the show — which follows the antics of Ilana (Ilana Glazer) and Abbi (Abbi Jacobson) as they navigate life in New York City — revolve around experiences the staff had in their 20s, Aniello and Downs thought of a way to explore life in their 30s.

“We realized that a lot of our closest friendships have kind of gone to the back burner,” Aniello said. “We had a lot of bachelorette and bachelor parties that we went to and we started talking about this idea of what happens when you have people from college you feel you could never ever live without, but 10 years later, where are you? And is everyone on equal footing or are there issues that have come up?”

They decided to explore those questions inside a raunchy comedy. Over the course of a bachelorette party in Miami, five friends have fun until everything goes very wrong after the stripper they hired dies in a horrific accident.

Aniello and Downs began to pitch it to studios, but there were two stipulations to buying the project: Aniello would have to direct it and Downs would have to play the super-sensitive fiance, Peter. And to their delight, multiple studios were interested in the script, but Sony was the most aggressive.

“From the first conversation, Sony was ready to throw down and make the movie,” Aniello said. “For us we weren’t necessarily interested in who is going to give us the most money, we were like, ‘Let’s make this thing,’ and that was always our goal from day one. We would have Kickstartered it if we had to, shot it on cell phones in a borrowed house. We just wanted to make something that we really cared about.”

But then things got even better when they found that one of the most bankable actresses in the world wanted to play the lead: Scarlett Johansson.

“It was a complete shot in the dark,” Aniello said about sending the script to Johansson’s people. “I don’t even know if she was looking for that kind of a thing.”

Rough Night Lucia Aniello Paul Downs finalSonyHowever, Aniello felt the only way to pull off the emotional third act of the movie — in which bachelorette Jess (Johansson) and her friends (Jillian Bell, Ilana Glazer, Kate McKinnon, Zoë Kravitz) open up about being left out of each other’s lives — was with a lead who had serious chops.

“We definitely wanted an actress who had the range of comedy and drama. For us there were very few people in general that we were interested in,” Aniello said.

Though Aniello had no doubts Johansson could pull off the comedy, having seen her hold her own on “Saturday Night Live,” watching her work on the set of a fast-paced comedy movie was still impressive.

“We would give her a Post-It with 30 words on it and she would read it once, hand it back, and I would say, ‘Action,’ and she would deliver it verbatim, perfect timing,” Aniello said. “She’s an unbelievable machine.”

Looking back on the first major movie they’ve been able to make, Downs recalls the back-and-forth with the studio that all hard-R movies experience, like a scene in which his character is offered oral sex at a gas station. Downs said they had to shoot a version that didn’t include the mention of oral sex to appease the studio, but after test screenings, the dirtier version was kept. But another highlight was the camaraderie that was built because of the female power behind the scenes.

“Comedy has always been a boys’ club, so I think in that way we knew it was significant that Lucia was directing,” Downs said. “And because it was a woman director and a female cast, all around the same age, they all became girlfriends. That’s the biggest success of this film, how much everyone got along.”

“I’m lucky to be in a position where I can help move the needle, so I’m kind of concentrating on that,” Aniello said of her place in furthering women-directed comedies. “Come and laugh and maybe Hollywood will let women make more R comedies.”

It may just change the landscape of gross-out, goofy R comedies as we know it.

A dead stripper, a couple of swingers, and a Human Centipede joke. Sounds like the ingredients for a new Hangover movie, right? But it’s actually the plot of Rough Night, the new bachelorette party gone bad comedy opening this weekend.

A female-fronted film with raunch and revelry shouldn’t feel like an anomaly in 2017, yet somehow, it still does. Despite the box office success of Bad Moms, Trainwreck, and almost every comedy Melissa McCarthy has made, each movie of this kind tends to arrive with an odd sense of novelty. Or, at the very least, skepticism.

So why is it that movies like Rough Night – and Girls Trip, which opens just a month later – are still met with curiosity? The reaction is rooted in history.

Raunch (for Women) Has Always Been Rare

Rought Night and its peers stick out because these movies aren’t exactly common, and they never have been. On a micro level, films explicitly about bachelorette parties are almost nonexistent. Leslye Headland’s 2012 indie Bachelorette is one of the only recognizable examples, and the widest release it received was 60 theaters. This actually makes some sense. Bachelorette parties are a modern invention that didn’t exist until about the 1980s, when the New York Times started using the term in society pages. As these parties slowly started appearing on film, they were usually confined to a mere scene in movies about weddings. Now, people want to see what they can do as an entire story device.

But on a macro level, bawdy comedies of any kind starring women are limited. The top 25 highest-grossing comedies of all time with an R rating includes plenty of male-fronted raunchfests: Deadpool, The Hangover, The Hangover Part II, Ted, Wedding Crashers, 22 Jump Street, and There’s Something About Mary. (Beverly Hills Cop, though not exactly a “raunchfest,” also makes the list.) But Bridesmaids is the lone female-driven entry. Does that indicate audiences only want to see dudes guzzle tequila and steal Mike Tyson’s tiger? Not at all. The box office has proven there’s an appetite for funny women behaving badly. They just don’t make it onto the screen as frequently.

Both women and men were allowed to be lewd in the pre-code films of the 1920s and 1930s, when Hollywood was not yet censoring itself. But then salacious characters had to hide for a while. Things started to change in 1968, once the Hays Code censorship collapsed and the MPAA established a ratings system. The 1970s immediately saw an influx of racier comedies. Mel Brooks blazed through a run of giddily crude farces. Animal House provided a blueprint for all future frathouse films with its wild toga parties and gross-out gags. Women were mostly, at this point, sidekicks to the boys’ rowdy good times, and this certainly continued into the 1980s when sex comedies like Porky’s reached their peak. But there were obviously subversions and exceptions. Although Fast Times at Ridgemont High is mainly remembered for Phoebe Cates’s bikini, the movie includes fleshed-out female characters who were hardly prudes. And long before Horrible Bosses became a cocaine-fueled smash, the women of 9 to 5 were plotting their (admittedly tamer) workplace revenge.

Women also tried their hand at profanity on the fringes – think John Waters’s famously depraved films, or the one-liners in cult comedies like Heathers. As the decades marched on, they continued being sidekicks to wild and crazy dudes like Jim Carrey, Adam Sandler, or whoever Judd Apatow picked to star in his early run of movies. But when people discuss raucous female comedies today, their history tends to begin with Bridesmaids.

The Bridesmaids Effect

Some critics think this genre (if you can call it that) of movies has suffered from the so-called “Bridesmaids effect.” After the 2011 comedy’s phenomenal success, the idea circulated that this movie was going to change everything. If Bridesmaids was a hit, surely a tidal wave of ribald female comedies was fast approaching. But that wasn’t exactly what happened. Instead, the future of women in comedy was relitigated each time a “new Bridesmaids” was released.

“Women can do rated-R comedy or the harder-edge comedies instead of just being a cute, stumbling little girl,” Sandra Bullock insisted while promoting The Heat in 2013. Tina Fey hyped her hard-partying “woman-child” character in Sisters two years later, just a few months after Amy Schumer spent all summer wondering why Trainwreck’s sexually explicit content was such a big deal. A fed-up Kristen Wiig finally asked during the Ghostbusters press tour in 2016, “How many litmus tests do we need? I’ve been hearing this for five years. Sorry, I’m finished.”

But if the tests were to end, if studios finally invested in female-focused raunch in a major and consistent way, who would star in those movies? There are certainly names that come to mind, but the list is far shorter than the one of actors who play man-children, playboys, and wiseasses for laughs.

The Stars Aren’t There

This lack isn’t organic; it was man-made. Actresses, comedic or otherwise, still face absurd expectations in terms of beauty. It’s why models like Kate Upton can be slotted into movie comedies over seasoned comics. But having a flat stomach and amazing hair isn’t enough. There’s also a certain expectation of grace, and belching or telling dirty jokes is decidedly not graceful or cute. That’s why you rarely hear about female legends of physical comedy, outside of Lucille Ball.

Only a few women have been allowed to give truly indelicate comedic performances. One of them is Melissa McCarthy. Ever since she arrived as a full-fledged star in 2011, she’s put in consistent work as a funny, fearless performer whose box office proves she’s a sound investment. But rather than being lauded for her talent and strong openings, she’s almost punished for it. Vulture has laid out the ways the media has painted McCarthy’s success as an illusion, one she shouldn’t expect to continue. She’s repeatedly been accused of playing the same character, having box office “wobbliness,” and, most quizzically, needing a new agent. Those nonsensical critiques are the nice ones, too. You need only to invoke the name “Rex Reed” to remember the cruel indignities McCarthy has suffered just for daring to appear onscreen.

If the opportunities are limited for white women like McCarthy, they’re far worse for women of color. The buzziest female ensembles of the past couple years have tended to feature just one non-white woman, if that. Bridesmaids had Maya Rudolph, Ghostbusters had Leslie Jones, Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising had Kiersey Clemons, and now Rough Night has Zoë Kravitz. But then there’s the forthcoming Girls Trip, which features four black women as the leads. When Girls Night opens in July, it could be taken as another “litmus test.” Projections at this point are somewhat limited. There’s speculation that Girls Trip could provide excellent counterprogramming to Dunkirk, which also opens on July 21st, but with the marketing machine just starting up in earnest, it’s hard to gauge. Still, with names like Queen Latifah, Jada Pinkett Smith, Regina Hall, and black-ish creator Kenya Barris attached, it’s got enormous potential.

It’s not just who’s in front of the camera that’s significant here. The future of these comedies will also hinge on the talent behind the camera, where there’s much more work to be done.
