Though
there have certainly been female fronted buddy cop movies before, the genre is
dominated by boys being boys. Leave it to Paul Feig to follow up his raunchy
bachelorette-party comedy “Bridesmaids,” by adding a new tweak to this
well-worn genre. And that’s really all “The Heat” is, a slight adjustment to
the formula, but one that pays off big time. If you want to laugh really,
really hard, and you’ve already seen “This is the End,” go see “The Heat.” It
doesn’t break any new ground, but it is super goddamn funny.
