Welcome back to another edition of Adam's Reviews
**queue in intro music**
Today's movie review is the wild buddy copy The Heat (2013) starring the sensational Sandra Bullock as FBI Agent Sarah who is sent to Boston to track a drug lord and where she is forced to team up with local cop Shannon Mullins played by Gilmore Girls alum Melissa McCarthy who sways away from her Sookie role into a scene stealing role where she plays an aggressive tomboy with a ferocious sneering wit of comebacks. Melissa seems to be having fun in this movie where her improv really shines scene after scene. Sandra's role contrasts Melissa's as a brisk, by the book, emotionally stunted FBI agent who is unpopular among her male co workers. For those who do not like vulgarity should have a coke and smile, this movie (around 2 house) is pretty much Melissa McCarthy spewing profanity while Sandra Bullock cringes, flutters her arms and sighs in exasperation. The volatile chemistry between the two actors is hysterical and drives the move to different levels. And again, McCarthy's performance as Mullins makes his movie where you see her aggression whose favourite idioms are both anatomically precise and anatomically impossible, terrorizes suspects and supervisors alikeThe two characters quickly come to blows, but bond as the investigation continues, by coming to respect and like each other after realising although different they have the same goal. Yes its female empowering, yes the story points about workplace gender relations but the movie just undercuts this with the hard as nails gag including the painting of Jesus playing baseball is worth a quick gag. Overall 7.2/10.
