The Heat

I enjoyed it, mining most of its comedy first from the mixing of the loud and cantankerous with the staid and orderly, literally the odd couple of law enforcement with a feminine twist, and then breaking down such initial impressions, digging a little deeper into each of the 2 main character's psyche. The police work aspect is a joke, but the dire situations are played for some painful laughs, most of it works, some of it goes a little dark. But for an R-rated comedy film, it was an amusing way to spend a couple of hours. I did like the chemistry between Bullock and McCarthy.

I give it 2.75 stars, or a grade of B-.
