Review of The Heat (2013)

By Jay Stone (286) for Canada.com (402) on 27 Jun 2013

McCarthy is famous for her willingness not only to ignore the limits of civilized behaviour, but to actively shred them…

Review of The Heat (2013)

By Peter Rainer (2,575) for Christian Science Monitor (3,788) on 27 Jun 2013

It’s not really such a great achievement to have women cops in the movies acting as boorish and rowdy as their male counterparts, especially…

Review of The Heat (2013)

By John Serba (472) for MLive.com (475) on 27 Jun 2013

There's enough inspiration in front of and behind the camera to push it beyond its formula trappings, but trumping that is how consistently…

Review of The Heat (2013)

By Gary Wolcott (857) for Tri-City Herald (818) on 27 Jun 2013

Big question. Is The Heat a good movie and really funny, or am I just in love with Melissa McCarthy…

Review of The Heat (2013)

By David Kaplan (436) for Kaplan vs. Kaplan (1,174) on 27 Jun 2013

Directed by Paul Feig, who helmed Bridesmaids, The Heat plays the tired FBI vs. local authorities card, as in, who has the jurisdiction…

Review of The Heat (2013)

By Steve Crum (868) for Video-Reviewmaster.com (514) on 27 Jun 2013

The f-bomb isn't just used, it is part of McCarthy's character's breathing process. Frankly, after the 38th f-you, it had gone beyond boring…

Review of The Heat (2013)

By Marsha Mccreadie (81) for Film Journal International (5,095) on 27 Jun 2013

Every actor knows it's harder to be funny than tragic, yet Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy make it look like rolling off a log in The Heat…

Review of The Heat (2013)

By Paul Chambers (522) for Movie Chambers (386) on 27 Jun 2013

No, The Heat didn't miss a single cop-buddy cliché. All it did was place two women in the roles instead of two men…

Review of The Heat (2013)

By Chris Bumbray (988) for JoBlo's Movie Emporium (1,959) on 27 Jun 2013

Depressingly mediocre. Even the gags that worked in the red-band trailer fall flat…

Review of The Heat (2013)

By Mathew Dekinder (396) for Suburban Journals of St. Louis (395) on 27 Jun 2013

Not only is this movie destined to be the comedy hit of the summer, but it is also pound-for-pound the funniest movie to come along since the…

Review of The Heat (2013)

By Greg Evans (65) for Bloomberg News (117) on 27 Jun 2013

Standard-issue for the point-and-shoot style that trains a camera on improvising actors. The outtakes might be hilarious…

Review of The Heat (2013)

By Joel Arnold (26) for NPR (1,713) on 27 Jun 2013

If The Heat is about more than being a well-oiled delivery system for impressive and effective comedy, it's in part about what it means to…

Review of The Heat (2013)

By Bruce Kirkland (531) for Jam! Movies (2,396) on 27 Jun 2013

The movie is rarely funny and the high concept part usually means the lowest common denominator. And that is another way of saying The Heat is stupid…

Review of The Heat (2013)

By Stephen Whitty (1,794) for Portland Oregonian (2,019) on 27 Jun 2013

If the film takes too long to wrap itself up --and hints, predictably, at a sequel -- the funky soundtrack is fun and McCarthy's South Boston…

Review of The Heat (2013)

By Joe Williams (923) for St. Louis Post-Dispatch (1,715) on 26 Jun 2013

After watching the trailers, I was expecting torture, but this smart, subversive movie made me laugh. So shoot me…

Review of The Heat (2013)

By Andrew Schenker (354) for Slant Magazine (8,298) on 26 Jun 2013

With the film, Melissa McCarthy definitively cements her status as a legitimate comic talent, leaving her co-star stumbling behind in her wake…

Review of The Heat (2013)

By Ty Burr (2,612) for Boston Globe (6,852) on 26 Jun 2013

If you’re going to make a dopey, bawdy, foul-mouthed, predictable lady-buddy-cop movie, you might as well make it funny…

Review of The Heat (2013)

By Brian Tallerico (1,600) for HollywoodChicago.com (623) on 26 Jun 2013

They know how to work a joke, hit a punchline, and inject just enough character to make it feel three-dimensional…

Review of The Heat (2013)

By Curtis Woloschuk (51) for Willamette Week (516) on 26 Jun 2013

The Heat may be the most tragic blunder since Pryzbylewski gunned down that plainclothes cop in Season 3 of The Wire…

Review of The Heat (2013)

By Josh Larsen (2,042) for LarsenOnFilm (1,412) on 26 Jun 2013

Is it possible that Melissa McCarthy needs to be more abrasive…
