Sandra Bullock, who worked with Paul Feig and Melissa McCarthy on The Heat, doesn’t seem to be declaring Ghostbusters is a great movie, as much as she is defending the fact that if it wasn’t exactly what millions of people hoped it would be, that it wasn’t just Melissa McCarthy, Kate McKinnon, Kristen Wiig, and Leslie Jones’ fault for the outcome.
(And maybe she’s including Cecily Strong?)
Movies are made by a lot of people who are around in the pre-production process, even more who are around during production, and a slew of staff who stick around in post to see a movie to completion.
However, the cast and the director are the people most associated with a movie, and they have taken the brunt of the fan criticisms so far, although Feig has been quick to note the criticisms died down after the movie hit DVD.
