The Heat: Girl Buddy Cop's

Just in case the "buddy" cop movie with one who is by the book and the other a rogue wasn't beaten to death in the 80's we re-spawned the female version in 2013. Sandra Bullock= Straight laced FBI agent, Melissa McCarthy= Rough around the edges rogue. McCarthy is extremely foul-mouthed and that donates some cheap laughs along the way. Bullock is solid, of course, as the nerdy cop. What was really surprising was the supporting cast of Jane Curtain, Michael McDonald (in a pretty serious role), Michael Rappaport, and Marlon Wayans. I came in with VERY low expectations and was pretty pleased that it wasn't completely awful. Cheap laughs, some surprisingly well done serious moments, and a decent story with plenty of opportunity for side jokes that don't all tank left me pretty happy when it was all over. Bottom Line: 6.8 out of 10. If there's a PG-13 version, don't watch that one. It needs the horrible language to pull you through the boring parts. It's worth a rental, but WAYYYY down the list with all the great stuff that just came out.
