The Heat

De to skuespillere er intet mindre end eksplosive sammen...

...turns female-buddy picture conventions on their ear.

...The Heat delivers: In a bonding moment, this odd couple goes on a bender as epic as anything in The Hangover. Their enthusiasm with weapons should alarm viewers across all demographics and species.

Where Bridesmaids was baggy round its petticoats, doffing its bonnet to romcom mores and spending an age mooning after Chris O'Dowd, The Heat is lean, mean and completely uninterested in anything that isn't funny.

...McCarthy and Bullock’s chemistry helps paper over the plot cracks and there’s enough situation comedy to entertain.

McCarthy var frastødende og hysterisk morsom i sin birolle i 'Brudepiger'. Her er hun lige så frastødende, og det er befriende, at der bliver satset på en så gennemført utiltalende hovedrolle i en mainstreamfilm.

Bullock och McCarthy underhåller med en skönt osofistikerat bakisrulle.
