The Heat ***

The Heat was not as funny as I thought it was going to be. It has it's moments but it was  more awkward then funny. Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy had good chemistry so I feel like they were held back by the script. Melissa's character was way to butch it needed a few more little feminine touches I thought she screamed butch lesbian rather then tough tomboy raised in a house of brothers just saying. The best part of the movie is the bar scene were they get drunk and if I heard correctly they were really drunk lol, The ending was predictable so there were no surprises there so for me the movie was just lack luster. It reminded my of miss congeniality but its ugly step sister. I find both actresses very funny but this movie was just something you have seen already so it wasn't entertaining or funny. I really haven't seen a comedy I liked in a while we are losing our funny bones. They are resorting to stupid crude humor like farts and cussing and I'm sorry that just ins't funny after you seen it done a billion times. We need to go back to the old school comedy's that relied on comedic timing and great writing. you can even throw in the occasional slap stick but do it tasteful like in national lampoons Christmas vacation. These are movies that live on past it's prime and become classics and The Heat will not be one of those.
