Bob Thornton.
This character really doesn't deserve the title. And Murray looks really bad, physically. I don't think he put on all those pounds for this role; he needs a personal trainer or he ain't gonna make a lot more of nuthin.'
Melissa McCarthy shows she has a lot of depth; she plays a serious character and invests her with dignity and individuality.
SPOILER:
The takeaway from the film is that people will love you if you're an asshole to everyone--- as long as you're a decorated Vietnam vet and your wife has a serious illness.
It ain't so.
