The Heat (2013)


Ugh. I almost didn't want to review this one, so it will be short. No matter how hard I wished for it to be good, it isn't. The comedy is incredibly forced and awkward. The first three quarters of the movie are dull; with the exception of Melissa McCarthy, but not in a good way. She is over-the-top crude and simply not funny. Sandra Bullock lacks energy. She's tired and seems bored. Her usual confidence that emanates through all of her other characters is gone in this one.

The last quarter of the movie picks up. However; just when the chemistry between McCarthy and Bullock finally solidify, it's over.

Very shaky film. Not worth a recommendation.
