Staring: Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy
I wanted to love this movie, I truly did. I adore Sandra
Bullock and Melissa McCarthy is one of the funniest ladies out there nowaday.
Unfortunately this movie turned out to be nothing more than an updated spin on Miss Congeniality.
The Heat had a few parts that I chuckled
at but nothing that made it a stand out comedy. Sandra Bullock’s character was
a foreseeable transformation story and Melissa McCarthy played the typical
potty mouthed, reckless character she has in all her other films. The plot was also
easily predictable; with myself knowing whom the mysterious “Larkin” was by the
middle of the film. The soundtrack was nothing special, a mix of mainstream
Hip-Hop and Classic Rock. Like the sound track, the special effects were
standard and nothing to rave about.
I have to
say I am glad that I waited to rent this film from the local Redbox instead of
going to a theater or even renting it off of On Demand. I would suggest if you
are thinking about renting this, wait for it to come to a premium cable station
or rent it from Redbox if you want to waste a $1-$1.50. In my opinion this film
earned only 2 out of 5 stars.
