The Heat

The Heat, very funny film enjoyed it 😀 would recommend 👍

A great pairing up with some very funny scenes and great story plot and soundtrack.

Hilarious movie, I really enjoyed it. An uptight FBI Special Agent is paired with a foul-mouthed Boston cop (McCarthy), to take down a ruthless drug lord. Melissa McCarthy is brilliant and hilarious as usual, playing the tough talking cop with very alternative approaches to policing on her local "patch" in Boston. This contrasts nicely with the strait laced "play it by the rule book" FBI Agent played by Sandra Bullock, who arrives on McCarthy's path to investigate the real identity of an elusive drug lord. Bullocks' OCD approach to her investigative work thoroughly irritates her own co-workers, and later (in Boston), McCarthy. Needless to say McCarthy reacts with resentful and outright hostility to this FBI Agent intruding onto her patch and the two characters, (with their very different approaches to crime fighting), clash head on. The strained relationship between the two makes for some very funny scenes in this movie. As the movie progresses, an unlikely (if at times, strained) friendship develops between the pair, leading to each accepting the other and their policing methods, by movie's end. Some very funny and memorable dialogue/one liners from Melissa McCarthy also, throughout this movie !

I liked both actresses before seeing this film, and although the trailers looked terrible, I wanted to give this film a shot. I'm glad I went ahead as there is some comedic gold nuggets to be found throughout this film. Melissa McCarthy is standout in this, with the silliest/cliched premise she still manages to make it her own. She makes this film, peppered with profanities and wicked one liners. I knew I was in for a good time early in the film with one of the most funny and realistic chase scenes I have seen to date for those who are not superb (superhuman) athletes. Sandra bullock works well as the uptight FBI agent, but it felt very much like other police characters she has played, and she really didn't bring anything new here. Through the plot is one we have all heard before, the good upstanding officer vs the wise cracking rebel, it serves as a base for good character interactions with solid comedic timing. Overall a good film, one to sit down with a drink and laugh along with.

Brilliant film

Great film. Bears watching several times.

If this is a reflection of what the general American attitudes is of getting things done, torture, and as to it being generally acceptable to do illegal dangerous things to people based purely on their own judgement, it is a tad worrying. But forgetting that for a moment... There are a couple of moments that I found laugh out loud funny but most of it felt a tad ridiculous and awkward, I'm not sure why exactly (I guess that's subjective and some people will find that humorous); it was nice seeing one character rubbing off on the other in a way (though for some reason it didn't happen the other way round?); both main actors play characters of some similar breed of ilk as done before (though perhaps Sandra Bollock is more a different conglomeration of characteristics that I've seen her do before). It's nice to see a more female friends-buddy thing rather than a more romantic based thread or male buddy's. Yes, there is a lot of swearing. For a viewer it's a mentally unchallenging/idle movie action comedy flick.

This is one of those films you are either going to love or hate. I personally think it is great fun. Sandra Bullock is great, although the character is a little like her Miss Congeniality character. Melissa McCarthy is brilliant, she's funny, brutal and straight to the point. As a pair they are brilliant together, giving the film brilliant comedy throughout. I really like the storyline, its simple but works well. I like that it is 2 different forces coming together to fight the same baddie and becoming friends, kind of like a lot of the cop films back from the 80/90's. A great film, worth watching if your up for comedy and a good bit of action.

... ist es aber nicht! Paul Feig hat seinen -Taffe Mädels-, mir gefällt der Originaltitel -The Heat- übrigens wesentlich besser, voll und ganz auf die klischeebehaftete Schiene von Filmen wie -Rush Hour- oder -Red Heat- gesetzt. Topermittler und Katastrophencop gegen ganz böse Gangster. Das ist alles andere als neu, doch in der Zusammensetzung Sandra Bullock(Ashburn) und Melissa McCarthy(Mullins) funktioniert das mindestens so gut wie das Treffen von Nitro und Glyzerin. Zwar ist die Story vorhersehbar, doch was Mullins und Ashburn an Sprüchen, Slapstickcomedy und wirklich heftigem Humor auf die Leinwand zaubern, das sucht seinesgleichen. Der Film lebt auch von einer sehr guten deutschen Synchronisation, die passt wie die sprichwörtliche Faust aufs Auge. Melissa McCarthy, die vor kurzem schon so herrlich in -Voll abgezockt- nervte, ist in -Taffe Mädels- in extremer Spiellaune. Wer da nicht mitlachen kann, dem ist vermutlich nur schwer zu helfen... Die New Yorker FBI Agentin Ashburn ist die Beste. Ihre Nase degradiert jeden Rauschgiftspürhund zum Stümper und ihr scharfer Verstand lässt die besten Officer wie Kindergartencops dastehen. Ashburn weiß das und hat ihren Kopf entsprechend weit oben. Das sorgt dafür, dass ihr Vorgesetzter sie mit den Worten "Arroganz, Konkurrenzverhalten und Streberei" charakterisiert. Das wird der bevorstehenden Beförderung, bei allen Erfolgen, dann doch im Weg stehen. Ashburn schert das wenig, bekommt sie ohnehin kaum etwas von den Menschen um sie herum mit. In einer Rauschgiftermittlung begibt sich die Topagentin nach Boston und kommt dort der Polizistin Mullins ins Gehege. Die ist so bodenständig wie der Dreck hinter der nächsten Scheune, hat eine Familie, die atemberaubend gut ins Ghetto passt und weiß, wie man mit den schweren Jungs auf der Straße umgeht. Mullins sieht Ashburn und hasst sie sofort. Das ist nicht besonders schwer. Aber natürlich kommt es, wie es kommen muss. Wenn die beiden ungleichen Cops ihre Ziele erreichen wollen, müssen sie zusammenarbeiten. Diese Arbeit ist von der ersten Minute an überaus sehenswert... Ich habe lange nicht mehr so über eine Krimikomödie gelacht, wie bei -Taffe Mädels-. Es ist vor allem Melissa McCarthy, die den Vogel abschießt. Aber auch Sandra Bullock, deren Gesicht mittlerweile ein wenig an Michael Jackson erinnert, spielt auf höchstem Niveau. Wie sich Supercop und Straßenbulle die Bälle der Geschichte zuspielen, das ist Comedy vom Allerfeinsten. Für uns in Deutschland ist es dabei ein Glücksfall, wie die Synchronisation auch die Sprüche von Mullins und Ashburn transportiert. Das ist manchmal niveautechnisch unterhalb des Meeresspiegels, aber immer schwarz, clever und heftig. Wenn sie also auf Klamauk, flotte Sprüche, reichlich Action und ein paar unterirdische Lacher stehen, dann schauen sie sich -Taffe Mädels- an. Ich hatte einen absolut unterhaltsamen Abend, der wie im Flug verging. Daher gibt es von mir die Empfehlung zum Anschauen.

Very Funny

Hilarious

Seré sincero la película es divertida y disfrutable si le das la oportunidad pero tampoco es una broma maestra. Si la compre es por el tema complicado de los derechos de distribución en México y me resulta mejor pagar por un blu Ray a una mensualidad.

Prim and Proper by the rules Sarah meets foul mouthed Shannon who ignores rules to get the job done her way and this ignites the fuse bringing the two immediately in conflict with one another. Sandra Bullock (Sarah Ashburn) portrays a very clever FBI agent with an uncompromising attitude who is at odds with her co-workers. She appears to know-it-all and lets those around her be aware of exactly how she feels. Cracking her last case and feeling pretty smug about it, she hears about a promotion in the works. When she asks about this, she is given the opportunity for the promotion and all she has to do is go to Boston and bring down a drug lord’s operation as well as him and his accomplices. Being the person she is, this is a piece of cake to her as she sets off to do just that. She feels she can do this quickly & without difficulty. However she did not know she was going to fun into the Boston Cop, portrayed by Melissa McCarthy (Shannon Mullins) From the moment she took Shannon’s parking space she is in for a very rude awakening on how things work in Boston. Shannon is also alienated from her co-workers and will not work with anyone else. She is abusive and will not take guff from anyone. Their meeting is explosive. Though they cannot stand one another they agree to work together on the case. Thus begins the great acting talents of Sandra and Melissa. This is one of the most hilarious movies I have seen in a long time. Good Story and great acting. Though they begin as enemies, they become great friends. Sandra’s character loosens up and begins to enjoy life. The two women work the case wonderfully and as they do, there is a lot of laughs. I enjoy Sandra Bullock’s acting and also Melissa McCarthy. They are both fantastic in what they do. The Heat is terrific and I will watch it many times. I was sitting in my front room and out of nowhere came bits of this movie and I found myself chuckling as I envisioned some of the antics of these two women.
