First we have the clumsy FBI agent Sarah Ashburn. I was wondering how the hell she achieved to get in the FBI in the first place.She's a human walking encyclopedia who isn't capable of speaking one obscene word, but in a glance at a crime scene she magically reveals illegal weapons hidden behind a panel and some drugs under the table. David Copperfield is a loser compared to her.
And then we have the street-cop Shannon Mullins who rumbles around foaming with rage and swearing like a heretic while swinging around ferociously. The only positive thing you can say about her is her practical knowledge of the street.
These two opposites are (of course) forced to work together. And after the known obstacles and mistakes, the hate and antipathy disappear by itself as the film progresses. …

The Heat review

"I know its not fair." FBI Special Agent Sarah Ashburn (Bullock) is partnered with a foul mouthed skilled cop in Shannon Mullins (McCarthy). Lacks sufficient background for the antagonists and the plot twist wasn't that surprising.

Just a comic genius at work in this picture. Watching her is enough reason to …

Bridesmaids has become a big deal over the last few years. Both critics and audiences loved it and its popularity on DVD has only grown since then. Everyone seems to agree that Bridesmaids is awesome.
Everyone, that is, Except for me.
I don’t know why, but I just didn’t find Bridesmaids funny. It had slap stick and crude humor, two things I usually find funny, but he movie only made me laugh a couple of times. The Heat which has the same director, Paul Fieg, and star Melissa McCarthy, one of the Bridesmaids stars, is even less funny to me. It has all of the elements of a funny movie, but not once during the entire picture did I laugh, not once. Other people seem to find Paul Fieg’s movies funny, but not me.
In a world filled with bro-mances, it’s about time we had …
