Finally, a serious film on the complexities of the industrial food marketing process. So pleased they decided the time was right for folks to 'get' the message. Melissa McCarthy is a wonderful messenger. I already miss her as
"Spicy".

I totally love Melissa and I LOVE cooking competition shows. This looks somewhat like a Christopher Guest movie and I'll definitely be watching!

Shoulda stay shelved. That movie looks so bad. It is definitely a candidate for the Razzie in the Worst movie division! That woman is disgusting.

"That woman" is quite an accomplished woman as she is entertaining to a great many people.
How odd that you personally find her disgusting.
One can only assume ( and I'm probably right ) your reason for saying such a thing.

If there was something humorous to say, I would have. I don't like cooking show competitions. And I don't think Ms. McCarthy can act. IMNSHO, she is an embarrassment to all legitimate actors. Joycelyn, your insinuation of something not so nice, is an insult to my being a critic. FYI, a woman whose acting chops are far superior to Ms. McCarthy's is Kathy Bates. Any assumption's there?

That's Melissa over a decade ago!
The movie has been shelved for that long?

Film distributors do this all the time. A once unknown/struggling actor in a crappy/forgotten/shelved movie makes it big, and the old movie is (re)released. Most of the time they're in a bit part, or part of the support/ensemble, but the marketing will re-frame them as the star. (Which I presume happened here, since this article frames McCarthy as the star of what is obviously an ensemble comedy.)
So, it's not shrewd; it's common. If anything, it's shocking they didn't jump on this opportunity earlier in the last 6 years of her success. Especially last year, to tie into the return of Gilmore Girls, since this was filmed right after the end of McCarthy's run on GG, and this part looks like a bridge between Sookie and her future, more absurd comedy work.
