I read a few of the reviews and this is my first time post. I laugh at the critical ones - Its a laugh out loud silly show that is great for those of us who wanted to laugh. It has an ok script but the slap stick and interchange between the two are great. Thank goodness they are still making movies that don't include blood and guts (but be warned there is one (funny) but a bit graphic sex scene). I really enjoyed going to a movie that I could laugh from beginning to end and still see compassion and possibly shed a tear. Well done - hope more movies like these come out !

So Good!!!! Excellent cast!...love Jason Bateman. Fast -paced, action packed and awesome stunts. Extremely funny movie. I was entertained from start to finish with all facets of this movie especially the acting and cinematography. Well directed film. "FIVE STARS" My daughter and I planned to see this movie from the first time we saw the trailer and I'm so glad we followed through. This movie was so good, as we left the theater we laughed while recalling all our favorite sceens and I'll be dang if we didn't dang near relive the entire movie. We even discussed possible sequels. As soon as I got home, I got on Fandango and submitted a FanAlert for "The Heat"...Melissa McCarthy, I'm a fan for life. You really helped make this movie GREAT!!!! Well done!

Very funny and sweet film. Worth seeing, just relax and enjoy== Batemen and McCarthy have a good comedic chemistry and Job Favraus' brief screen time is effective and good reminder why Americans have become very cynical about the Finance industry. There are a couple of plot holes but they are forgivable and easily ignored (much as one would ignore similar plot- gapes in Shakespeare of Gilbert or much Restoration drama). Comedy with a heart, but not a cloying one. Definitely worth a look!

I was so worried this would be one of those movies where all the funny scenes had been wasted in the previews, but I laughed throughout the entire run. Melissa McCarthy and Jason Bateman are amazing, and play off each other's energy the entire time. It also avoids focussing too much on the sentimentalizing that is bound to accompany the end of a movie like this (a la Planes Trains and Automobiles as it is). See this movie! Sell blood, pawn your watch or jewelry, give a closeted tourist a handy while his wife isn't looking, whatever it takes to scrape together the money to see it. You won't be disappointed.

Both of the main characters have a lot of great lines but it got kind of stupid in the middle and predictable. Won't see it more than once, whereas, I've seen Bridesmaids probably 20 times.
