Like a Boss is a 2020 American comedy film directed by Miguel Arteta, written by Sam Pitman and Adam Cole-Kelly, and starring Tiffany Haddish, Rose Byrne, and Salma Hayek.
The plot follows two lifelong friends who fight to take back control of their cosmetics company from an industry titan.
The film was theatrically released in the United States on January 10, 2020, by Paramount Pictures. It received negative reviews from critics, though the cast received praise.
Plot
Lifelong best friends Mia and Mel, who have very different personalities, share a house and run their own beauty company, Mia&Mel. The first is more creative, while Mel is the organised one who keeps the books and tries to keep everything running smoothly, while keeping secret their massive debt.
Going together to an old classmate's baby shower, the pair are awestruck by everyone else's wealth. As most everyone there are starting families and having babies, the pair are asked when they are going to join in, they say the company is their baby. Frustrated after a woman brags about her daughter's particularly lucrative business deal, Mia and Mel sneak off to smoke a joint, inadvertantly exposing an infant to the smoke.
Mia has a casual, purely physical regular hookup with a much younger man. Mel, on the other hand, has a hookup she turns away as soon as he gets up. On their way to work, Mel contemplates their continued single lifestyles, wondering if they should be concerned, which Mia brushes aside.
When Claire Luna, Head of major cosmetics empire Oviedo, contacts Mia&Mel after seeing their 'One Night Stand', single use makeup kit to invest in them, Mia is not interested. However, Mel reveals they are in debt almost half a million dollars, so they meet. Mia is suspicious of Claire's motives, and rightly so, as she intends to steal the business out from under them.
The two must address their differences to save their business, as they are faced with the challenge of proving themselves to Luna even as she steals their 'one-night-stand' bag idea and has it marketed through one of her other companies, as well as forcing them to fire one of their workers, Barrett, leaving fellow staffer Sydney as their sole employee.
Mia and Mel briefly 'split up' through their different approaches to Luna's offer, but they reconcile when their friends help them face how they need each other. Faced with the possible loss of their business, Mia and Mel approach Shay, Luna's former business partner, to start a new company, Proud Cosmetics, marketing their new 'Ride or Die' product, make-up intended to be used by best friends together to face their nights out.
With this loophole, Mia and Mel can produce and market 'Ride or Die' under the 'Proud' banner while Luna takes ownership of Mia&Mel while still being required to pay them 49% of all subsequent earnings. Mia and Mel also bring along Sydney and Barrett to the new company.
