The Heat Movie Reviews

The buddy-cop genre is back! From Tango and Cash to 21 Jump Street, this genre has been put through pretty much everything -- action, thrillers, comedy, you name it. Then what's so new about The Heat? Director Peter Feig -- of Bridesmaids fame -- brings to us a story that did not, for once, make me hit my head on my desk repeatedly after examining the movie's gender dynamic.

In The Heat, Sandra Bullock and Mellisa McCarthy play the roles of a FBI special agent and a Boston detective. Both actresses bring star power to the film with their names. Bullock an Academy Award winning star is America's darling while McCarthy has become a household name post Bride Wars. So when this oddball pairing goes on a hunt
