Les flingueuses

I'm not sure about these bad reviews, I really found a lot to enjoy here.

Plot In A Paragraph: FBI Agent Sarah Ashburn (Sandra Bullock) is a very skilled investigator in New York City, but is despised by her fellow agents for her arrogant attitude. On a brief assignment in Boston, she meets Shannon Mullins (Melissa McCarthy) a foulmouthed and rebellious police officer with the Boston Police Department. Ashburn's by-the-book philosophy clashes with Mullins' rugged and violent style of police work. Under pressure from her FBI boss Hale, Ashburn reluctantly agrees to team up with Mullins.

Whilst the plot is nothing special, and certain amounts of the humour revolve around police brutality and bad language, Bullock is an effective straight to the foul mouthed McCarthy and I found some serious lough out loud moments.

Enjoyable and I'll definitely watch it again.

This film is about two female officers with strong personalities, who have to work together against a drug gang.

The trailer of "The Heat" made me laugh hard, and wow the actual film made me laugh even harder! It's amazing how two strong personalities, one foul mouthed and the other egocentric, could be portrayed to be so likable. That's not an easy job, but they managed it. The film is filled with sharp witted insults and even more profane words, but the jokes does not rely on these at all. In fact there are so many clean jokes that are hilarious, such as three drinks are in fact one, or the interrogation scene that involves a phone book. It's really been many years since a comedy has made me laugh so hard. I laughed so hard that a curled up a few times, and by the end of the film I had a sore throat from laughing! I loved "The Heat", it is a sure fire must watch!

The Heat is a good movie with a reasonably well developed plot and a fantastic comedic cast. It's a fun movie that is filled with side splitting hilarious scenes and great improv from its cast all around. The highlight is the stellar chemistry between Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy, they clearly enjoyed working together, which shows very well on screen. However, the story itself was quite flat, it was not one bit compelling or intense, as well as being too straight forward to really pull us in. I also felt the film made too many jokes about Bulllock's character being unattractive as a result of her restricted personality, this got tiresome after a while, but it just continues pretty much until the end of the movie, it was an extremely repetitive gag that was not even accurate for someone as beautiful as Bullock. It certainly has its imperfections, but The Heat is good, harmless fun, I would recommend it to anyone looking for a good comedy, just do not go out of your way to see it.

A straight laced FBI agent is partnered up with a foul mouthed street cop in a hunt for a drug lord.

Best Performance: Sandra Bullock

Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy are a great hilarious duo, even when things feel off it's so much fun! Paul Feig created an excellent comedy that is mixed perfectly with some action. I love these goofy movies they are easy to enjoy anytime and I'm glad it has more praised reviews. I love how delightful the bar scenes are The Heat is great all around!

Sandra and Melissa have such an amazing chemistry! It's like they are just natural when it comes to working together. Of course this movie had some of the wall scenes and over the top moments but what do you expect from Melissa McCarthy. I enjoyed the movie and it was extremely funny and family-oriented and what is definitely needed during this Covid-19 pandemic time......many laughs.
