The Heat

The Heat is a buddy-cop comedy with an uptight FBI Special Agent and a Boston city cop. You probably know the idea: Humorless Feebie, foul-mouthed local, yadda yadda. Been done to death, right?

Only in this one, both cops are women and played by Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy.

It works, there are a lot of laughs in the movie. But it's a pretty forgettable flick. If you feel the need for a light comedy, it'll be worth the time. You won't lose anything, though, if you catch it later on a move channel or on a rental.

The cop McCarthy plays carries a S&W Model 60 with what appeared to be Hornady Critical Defense loads. Bullock's Feebie, of course, carries the usual Austrian Tupperware.
