The Heat (I) (2013)
6/10
Mild, not Scalding.
3 August 2013
From the trailer, you know exactly what you're going to get. You're not going to get an Oscar worthy performance, you're not going to get an intricate storyline that has you guessing, nor was it going to be a instant classic. It was going to be a leave your brain at the entrance, kind of comedy full of derogatory remarks and cursing galore. Yet some people have chose to review this film as if it had claimed to be the next Lethal Weapon. I noticed someone gave it a 1, a 1? How could it possibly be a 1? Yes it isn't amazing, and there are probably hundreds of comedies that would be above it but it's a good film.

Melissa McCarthy is just funny, i would be hard pressed to name an actress who is funnier than her. She just has the tone and the facial expressions to make anything sound and look funny. Sandra Bullock surprised me a little. I normally find her stale (apart from Blind Side) but she seemed to try and enjoy herself and she came out with a couple of good one liners.

Yes there are couple of things that made me roll my eyes; there is a stone wall mistake in the film that i think is pretty easy to spot and there are scenes that you can't help but associate with other films, but all in all it is a fairly good film and it made me laugh on several occasions.
