The Heat is achingly funny to say the least. I think it was the first time since Bridesmaids where I noticed a theatre laughing so much. The Bullock/McCarthy duo is a prime example of perfect casting and I've never enjoyed an on-screen team as much as this one. The effective team is what carries the picture and the main reason the movie feels fresh even though we've seen many buddy cop comedies prior to this. I would not be shocked if come December both Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy earn Golden Globe nominations for Best Performance by an Actress in a Comedy or Musical, they're really that great. You couldn't ask for a better supporting cast either with Marlon Wayans, Jane Curtin and Demian Bichir all adding a touch of spice to what is already piping hot. I'd recommend The Heat without a doubt, take a few friends to the theatre and you'll have a ball!
