But even here, we’re treated to amusing throwaways like fight-flattened Michelle attempting a martial arts kip-up, and instantly quitting with a groan.

And we’re mostly getting filler in a last-act caper sequence with Michelle, Claire, and Claire’s self-effacing beau (Tyler Labine) kung-fu fightin’ Renault (Peter Dinklage), Michelle’s ex and samurai-wannabe rival. There’s more truth than intended when Bell’s pushover stands up and calls her baggage-saddled boss “a cliché” for pulling away from her new surrogate family.

Not that everything McCarthy and Falcone touch turns to comedy gold.

A slo-mo, all-out brawl with their erstwhile troop sisters and the good girls’ snooty mom-in-charge (Annie Mumolo) is a deranged highlight. Michelle launches her new Darnell’s Darlings venture by rounding up girls with attitude, outfitting them in Guardian Angels berets, and profanely directing them to execute those brownie sales with extreme prejudice. What follows is even sillier, of course, and generally just as diverting.
