Movie #770 ........................."The Heat"
Movie #770 "The Heat" --- once you can get past Melissa McCarthy's character's language and total disrespect for everything and everyone (she mistreats everyone pretty much the same), and you realize that almost every rule that the police follow is broken here, then sit back and enjoy the "ride" ---- yes, females take on the bad guys, acting like guys themselves and getting away with it because they are Bullock and McCarthy. There are drop dead funny moments in here, mostly because the two actresses work so well together............eventually, you find yourself laughing at just the pull out of a gun, because it is "here we go again" --- There were some awkward uncomfortable moments here, as well, but they just add fuel to the fire. And such physical comedy pulled off for the sake of the script rather than just thrown in by Adam Sandler and his crew, so this is a cut above all his movies, and a lot of what's out there that they label "comedy" these days. They are both good at what they do, and they are both likable, so you just go along with what's happening and laugh at how their competitive natures get in the way. I wonder if it were two guys, if people would come down so hard on the language and situations in this film ------ check it out, if you want to see strong women in meaty roles.or should I say beefy?
