The Heat

Movie:  The Heat
Major Actors: Sandra Bullock, Melissa McCarthy, Marlon Wayans, Jane Curtin, Taran Killam, Michael McDonald
Rating: R
Best Audience: Adults only

Review:

The best thing about the Heat is the chemistry between Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy.  Both are individually so talented.  Both have a history of comedic brilliance.  Together, they play off each other's strengths as actors and really make the funny lines and physical comedy feel natural. 

I also loved the fact that Marlon Wayans is playing it "straight" in this movie. He usually plays silly, comedic roles, and in this film, he is the "straight man." 

The only downside to this movie is that the "big twist" of who the real bad guy is ends up being quite predictable.  However, this is a comedy, so that doesn't matter much.  The main thing is that this movie is FUNNY.  I also love the fact that it has two women as the lead actors in movie roles that are usually played by men. 

This movie has a lot of strong language.  So be wary of that before you see it.
