The Heat

Actors:  Sandra Bullock, Melissa McCarthy, Demián Bichir, Marlon Wayans, Michael Rapaport,  Jane Curtin
Rating:  8 out of 10, A movie was funny on so many levels – Lethal Weapon placed on estrogen therapy. Melissa McCarthy is a bona fide comedy star now and Sandra Bullock a truly capable foil. McCarthy plays a crazed, but effective Boston cop to Bullock’s uptight FBI agent. The bar scene should go down as a historically funny comedy skit. It was nice to see a female buddy flick because it opened up so many avenues for jokes. Female viewers laughed a lot harder than the males at most of this incredibly hilarious stuff. The trend of R rated female comedies started with Bridesmaids continues and it’s a great development. The torturing of Boston accents and the “locals” was also very funny.
MVP:  Bullock as the uptight but effective FBI agent
