Uptight FBI Special Agent
Sarah Ashburn (Sandra Bullock) and foul-mouthed Boston cop Shannon Mullins
(Melissa McCarthy) couldn't be more incompatible. But when they join forces to
bring down a ruthless drug lord, they become the last thing anyone expected:
buddies. From Paul Feig, director of "Bridesmaids." (c) Fox

Review:
Mcarthy plays a crass, potty-mouthed, and crude police officer
bent on getting the job done mainly with her fists. Bullock (so pretty) is an
uptight, conservative, and brilliant FBI special agent whose arrogant streak
causes her colleagues to hate her. The fun of the movie starts when both
characters are forced to work together in catching a notorious drug lord in the
area. There are many hilarious moments of watching Mccarthy insist that bringing the heat
(i.e. holding someone over the ledge) is much more effective than Bullock’s
standard procedures. In the end, their similar intuitive nature and passion for their job allows them to become one effective, although a tad uncoventional, team.
While Sandra proves she truly shines in comedy, Melissa is the gem
of this film. This is not a movie for those who cringe whenever they hear a swear word cause they will end up in a fetal position hearing Mccarthy swear
up a storm all thoughout. One thing you can be sure of, there are at least 2
moments in the movie where you would laugh till you get teary-eyed. I never
thought such a politically incorrect, bigoted, and sexist movie would be so
much fun.
