The Heat

I saw it with a couple of friends and thought it was hysterical. I would see it again. Thought the villain was obvious, but for a comedy that didn't matter.

Saw this today and loved it! Laugh out loud, funny.

Glad to hear people are liking this because the reviews I saw were not praising it at all. Hopefully word of mouth will push it up.

The previews totally turned me off but I thought it was hysterical. Sometimes it was just the expression on Melissa's face that had me laughing out loud. I didn't realize that Jory McIntyre of NKOTB fame played one of her brothers.

I thought it was great! I laughed a lot, and even though the story was predictable, I thought the details (the family and the artwork) made it extra funny. Also, I loved that it is a predictable, funny bro-cop movie, but with women as the central characters. I will also fully confess to being an easy mark for laughing at a string of semi-creative profanity.

The only thing that took away from this was kind of peripheral--I'd just read a book about police and FBI corruption in Boston, but still! I hope I get to see this again.

Saw it tonight and loved it -- but I am a big fan of Melissa McCarthy (she's a hometown girl) and Sandra Bullock. Loved that MM got to be funny without relying on fat jokes, and SB is a great straight man.

Biggest takeaway (ok, maybe not the biggest, but it was up there): Marlon Wayans looked really cute in this. I am troubled because he has never struck me as attractive before. It's like I don't know myself at all. Or I could still be emotionally scarred from seeing previews for "White Chicks" and don't want to admit that same guy is kind of hot. I actually liked his role a lot.

Seemed like there was a setup for a possible sequel at the end. I'm easy -- I'd see it.

Loved Joey Mac as MM's brother, along with Bill Burr. Hell, her whole family was great. I also loved seeing Kaitlyn Olson (or as I will always call her, Sweet Dee) and Thomas Wilson.

Glad a lot of people seem to like this. Nice to see proof that women are funny and can put butts I theater seats.

Yeah, it was weird seeing Wayans just being sort of laidback... I'd never considered him as a love interest before. I was disturbed by my feelings about him as well.

Joey McIntire was awesome, my favorite line for sure (notwithstanding the wonderful profanity) was the brother's "Ah you a knock?" "What? A knock?" "A KNOCK!" "Oh, a narc..." Also, the genuine interest about whether Bullock was transgender, and the close shave comment made me snort.

I saw it last night and I'm still laughing over some of Melissa McCarthy's lines. Damn, she is funny. Also count me in with those who found Marlon Wayans adorable. I was disappointed he and Sandy didn't get to suck face at all.

I laughed til I cried when MM cracked on Sandra's pyjamas. And I'm ashamed I laughed so heartily at every single one of her albino jokes.

That was Eastern European Sweet Dee. Her scene was small, but hilarious. "Get out, bull in china shop!"

I'm pretty sure they announced that they were going to make a sequel already because the movie only cost $43 mil to make and it's taken in $95 mil so far and is still going strong.. It's kicked the ass of big blockbusters like White House down & The Lone Ranger.
