In her upcoming comedy The Boss, Melissa McCarthy plays Michelle Darnell, the wealthiest woman in America -- a Martha Stewart type with Sharon Osbourne's haircut and Liza Minnelli's makeup artist whose world falls apart after she's arrested for insider trading.

Because she's a resourceful type -- and, presumably, because she watched Troop Beverly Hills more than a few times in the slammer -- Michelle soon comes up with the perfect comeback plan: teaming up with a group of adorable scouts and transforming them into lean, mean, brownie-selling entrepreneurs. Kristen Bell costars in both the film and the trailer as Michelle's former underling, who reluctantly takes in her boss after Michelle's release; the movie's cast also includes big names like Kathy Bates and Peter Dinklage, though neither appears in the first clip. (Neither does Carrot Top, who's apparently also in this movie.)
