The trailer tells us everything we need to know about The Heat.
Sandra Bullock plays Ashburn, a brilliant FBI agent who is socially inept, pitted against a loud, brash police officer, Melissa McCarthy. We know the formula and know that by the end of the film Bullock will become more like McCarthy and others will see what a great cop McCarthy is.
Everything follows the formula and although the humor is sometimes a little too slap-stick and somewhat negatively spirited, we can sit back and watch two enjoyable comedians react to each other.
McCarthy is the real gem here who, while I love her physical comedy and brash demeanor, makes me wish she would do more to expand her range.
