A buddy cop movie staring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy. The idea behind it is, Bullock is a very proficient F.B.I. Agent who everybody hates. She is good at her job, but she is awful with her co-workers. She gets sent out of town to work a case where she ends up working along side McCarthy. McCarthy is frankly horrible at her job, and should be fired. While most of her time on the job finds her committing acts that are, well let's just say not very legal or ethical, she is also presented as a super cop. Honestly that was the biggest issue I had with he movie. She should have been let go or possibly even imprisoned long ago. Still the 2 are very similar roles, with the exception being their lifestyles. McCarthy seems happier, and is able to interact with people on a better level then Bullock.
The story revolves around them trying to catch a big drug dealer. While the story had no real issues with it, it also was not the main point of the film. This is a comedy, and the story quickly fades into the background. While I normally don't care for McCarthy, she did well in this role. She was humorous, and probably provided more entertainment then Bullock.
From seeing the two getting smashed in a bar, to their over the top cop antics, the heat managed to keep me happy throughout its duration. While it was not an amazing film, for a rental I was quite happy. If you are a fan of McCarthy, you know what to expect. If you like Bullock, she does well in the comedy role. I would say if your looking for some laughs, you could do a lot worse.
