The Heat (2013)

This is not a movie that will become a classic, but it was definitely fun, and the people who come off looking best are two women, one Hispanic man, and one African American man, so if you like things a little atypical for Hollywood heroes, this one has that.  It is past paced, funny, and entertaining.

Sandar Bullock plays a highly effective and equally disliked FBI agent who is sent to Boston to assist in the investigation and arrest of a drug king pin.  She is assigned to work with a local beat cop played by Melissa McCarthy, who is brash, mouthy, unconventional, and just sas disliked by colleagues, but there is an equal mixture of fear in her case.  The two of them are used to going first and getting their way, so they have a rocky start to their parnership.  They are both adept at physical comedy, and they pull of the back and forth banter quite well.  I forgive a lot when the characters are likable and interesting, and these two are great together.

The movie involves the obligatory dirty cop, near death experiences, almost super human strength on the part of the main characters, as well as some cowboy maneuvers that require that they rescue themselves--it is a typical narrative, but with non-traditional heroes, and a very fun comedy thriller.
