After the success of Bridesmaids, McCarthy is one of the most sought-after actresses in Hollywood. Her film Identity Thief, costarring Jason Bateman, was a hit despite terrible reviews. The film grossed $175 million on a $35 million budget. The Heat paired her with Sandra Bullock for a female twist on the buddy-cop formula. McCarthy is also working on smaller comedy Tammy about a woman who hits the road with her hard-drinking grandmother. The movie is being directed by her husband, and fellow actor, Ben Falcone. Beyond movies, McCarthy's TV show Mike & Molly was recently renewed for a fifth season.
