The buddy cop genre has fallen to the way side, but The Heat brings it back in fine form. Co-headlined by Melissa McCarthy (bad cop) and Sandra Bullock (good cop), The Heat sticks to the formula closely, but with two female leads, gives an enjoyable goose to the premise.

Ashburn is an uptight FBI agent who’s assigned to a drug case in Boston as a final test to see if she’s right for a major promotion. Arriving on the scene she steps on the toes of Mullins who more or less runs the precinct with her foul mouth and in your face method of law enforcement. Turns out the a drug lord is running amok on Mullins’ turf and when she sees the clown that the FBI sent for the job, she’s not having any of it and forces herself on the case. Hilarious hijinks ensue.

The movie gets funnier as it goes a long with some creative scenarios and cursing from Mullins’ mouth that would make Kenny Powers proud. They are two different people who end up rubbing off on each other in just the right ways. Again, this is a genre mold we’ve all seen before but it works thanks to McCarthy and Bullock’s great chemistry. It’s got a similar attitude that Bridesmaids had, so if you liked that check this one out for sure.
