For most, May means warm weather and flowers blooming but for Melissa McCarthy the month might mean something else: dollar signs!

"Bridesmaids" first hit theaters on May 13 of last year and her upcoming comedy, "Identity Theft," has just been slapped with a very similar release date.

McCarthy is starring alongside "Arrested Development" star Jason Bateman in the upcoming switcheroo comedy, which will hit theaters on May 10, 2013. Perhaps "Horrible Bosses" director Seth Gordon is hoping that when it comes to mind-boggling comedy success, lightning will strike twice.

If not for its lucky date, the film has other things going for it -- beyond the prowess of McCarthy, Bateman and Gordon -- Steve Conrad ("The Pursuit of Happyness") and Craig Mazin ("Hangover Part II") are partnering on the screenplay.

She was a series regular on "Gilmore Girls" for 7 years and another two years on "Samantha Who?" So I find it extremely odd how she's suddenly been 'discovered'. ---BTW, give us a shot if you are looking for a life companion.

I love Melissa McCarthy. I have been a fan of hers since she was Sooki on Gilmore Girls. She was hilarious on SNL too. I am happy for her and her recent success. Can't wait to see her new movie.

I hope she will slim down to a size 12 so he doesn't get diabetes or heart disease at a later date....

She is pretty but she would be so much more attractive if she would loose about 100 lbs. This black dress is what she should have worn to the oscars instead of the orange dress.

I recall her from the film "Go" a full 14 years ago. She was a series regular on "Gilmore Girls" for 7 years and another two years on "Samantha Who?" So I find it extremely odd how she's suddenly been 'discovered'.

That's how it works. Most popular actors banged around the industry for a long time before finding the role that got them noticed.
