The Heat (2013) / comemdy, action, crime

Trailer: click.

PLOT
Effective, uptight and arrogant FBI special agent Sarah Ashburn (Sandra Bullock) is assign to work with a skilled, foulmouthed and rebellious detective Shannon Mullins (Melissa McCarthy) on drug case. Will they manage to work together without killing each other?

REVIEW
Girls buddy cop comedy provide us with some loud laughs. Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy are a cool team, the dialogs are good. Comedy type is a bit outrageous, occasionally too vulgar, lots of childish humor and swearing. On the other hand story is one line action that loses pace, it is predictable and pointless but Sarah and Shannon are becoming buddies and have a lot of fun together while solving this case. I would say the film is solid and enjoyable fun flick that goes over the top. 3/5
