slawrence-45566 Thank goodness there are still screenwriters willing to write unpolitically correct dialogue. Every line is funnier than the one before.
Majikat Comical capers when Top fbi agent meets maverick cop and are forced to work together. Whilst Melissa McCarthy adds the same kind of humour And character to most of her roles, it's still a fun watch and raises a few smiles
NathanOsborne2004 This was a great movie! I very enjoyed it! It's the funniest thing that you'll see all year Melissa Mcarthy was the funniest You'll love this movie! Melissa McCarthy was my favourite actor! But please do not watch this movie if your afford of guns and stuff like that because there is a shoot out scene but if you like guns and a crime movie it's the funniest thing and the best thing ever
Abby Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy are known as some of the best actresses of their time. From Bullock staring in Miss Congeniality and The Proposal to McCarthy killing it in Identity Thief and Bridesmaids, these two know how to make people laugh. They make a film their own and deliver a performance that will not be forgotten. Working together, this dynamic duo is unstoppable. The Heat is no exception. Director Paul Feig uses his creative talents to make this movie a roll-on-the-floor-laughing type of production that brings comedy to a new level. By masterfully combining a fairly simple, yet intriguing plot, superb acting, and seasoned directing, The Heat keeps people watching and laughing the whole time.Bullock plays FBI agent Sarah Ashburn while McCarthy portrays Detective Shannon Mullins of the Boston Police Department. Ashburn takes on a drug lord case that Mullins was in charge of and, from there, these two work together on busting the crime. Working together, though, is a stretch because this pair of highly opinionated women are constantly arguing. For instance, when interrogating a man in custody, they end up yelling at one another on how they should question him which accomplishes absolutely nothing except to give the audience a hearty laugh and a preview on how the rest of the movie will go.With such a simple plot, these two women are given a lot of freedom as to how they want to perform their roles and they do not disappoint. They are rather aggressive with one another and are very rugged, constantly swearing and making crude jokes with one another. However, they both take their roles in different directions. Bullock makes her character more reserved by acting as though she has composure of herself as a government agent, but then has some spastic moments to demonstrate that she is slowly cracking under pressure. McCarthy then takes her character to the extreme other end and is very rude and outspoken; she flaunts her body sexually when it is obvious she is not a sexy woman in this film. Because of these differences, they butt heads a lot, but the chemistry is undeniable. Both women use very large, dramatic movements to take up the whole screen because both characters have larger than life personalities. In one scene, these personalities are evident when the women are supposed to look more "normal" in a club so McCarthy takes Bullock's suit and rips the pant legs and sleeves completely off. They scream at one another, but also maintain witty banter between one other that makes the lines seem as though they are just casual conversation. A script can only go so far, but they bring it to life and make it relatable.The directing, however, is what really pulls these two together for such a great comedy film. Feig creates a setting perfect for an excellent belly laugh; he constructs a contrast between the characters that they themselves cannot demonstrate. By giving Mullins an absolutely insane family who takes up the small camera view and fills the set, he develops a very hectic environment which tends to lead to a humorous encounter. Ashburn, on the other hand, is given only a cat to love and her home is presented with a wide camera angle to make her life seem empty and lonely. Through clever direction, Feig reveals to the audience that these two cops are about as opposite as possible.Clearly, The Heat is not just another buddy cop movie. The humor is indisputably evident and the female twist adds a new perspective to an otherwise male dominated type of film. Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy take the partnership to a real life friendship and that is not something that can be directed. The chemistry that costars have on and off the screen is a make or break for a movie and, because of these two top notch comedians,
