The aspect of many collaborations is pushing the boundaries while also doing something new. Ethan Hawke and Richard Linklater have done this before. Whether the "Before" movies or, at its pinnacle, "Boyhood", they have experimented with form. Their latest "Blue Moon" is more of a staged piece following one night of a artist's journey (or deconstruction if you will).

McCarthy is not bad. Her timing is inevitably right on point. It is just the overall possibility of the plot seems beneath her. Many directors (specifically Paul Feig) know that it is about skirting the edge with McCarthy and how to focus her talent. Her beauty is being almost out of control but with a heart.
