Sandra Bullock And Melissa McCarthy Bring THE HEAT In New Trailer!!
The Kidd here...
Men have long dominated buddy cop movies, but in light of films like BRIDESMAIDS, which have now proven to Hollywood that women will turn out in droves for films geared towards them, the ladies are getting the keys to the squad car for Paul Feig's next film, THE HEAT.
There's long been this assumption that audiences don't want to see women acting crude and raunchy in their entertainment, but Feig disproved that notion with a strong script written by Kristen Wiig and Annie Mumolo just last year, opening the doors for all types of female-driven comedies.
Feig has brought back Melissa McCarthy, teamed her up with a straight-laced Sandra Bullock, and now we're supposed to just watch the hijinks unfold, as evidenced by the new trailer unveiled by 20th Century Fox.
Scripted by PARKS AND RECREATION writer Katie Dippold, THE HEAT absolutely has the potential to rake in some bucks from audiences of all demographics, and besides, who's ever really turned down an entertaining buddy cop flick?

Okay, not really into buddy flicks but it had some nice touches. Melissa McCarthy has excellent comic timing. Maybe a good date movie with my wife.
-
Doesn't help that Sandra Bullock is my kryptonite.

Looks like a shit hot fuzz mixed with a shit other guys starring the wonderful Sandra. Oh Sandra. Where for art though.

Its about a Killer Robot Driving Instructor that goes back in time for some reason...
-
If this is what happens when we get the keys to the squad car, then we should never have them... Ever.

I'm off to watch the maniac trailer again to cleanse myself of this shite.

If they had balls and made this straight up raunchy and with lots of violece, it would have promise. As is, 100% guarantee Kidd hates it.

Need they keep the pie???

I'll rent it...or my wife will drag me to see it.

Melissa McCarthy, your 15 minutes are up. PLEASE GO AWAY!
by ShiftyEyedDog
seriously, we were sick of you after one project.

Nov. 16, 2012, 1:45 p.m. CST
No, we don't turn down an ENTERTAINING buddy cop flick... but this looks like COMPLETE SHIT
by ShiftyEyedDog
Hell, this looks as bad as Cop Out. And I like Willis and Morgan. I already hate McCarthy.

I'm tired of the "women will turn out in droves" line. Bridesmaids was a fucking fluke. Look at all the imitators that have bombed since then.

@ingorious bastard....Bachelorette was pretty terrible.

I also recall some other flicks ripping off their poster. I don't want to say it's Pitch Perfect. Though I haven't seen it yet I imagine anything with Adam Devine is gonna be awesome.

McCarthy will continue to play off the fat-funny mentality instead of gaining any real acting skills.

And they didn't stick 'Miss Congeniality 3' on the front of this because...?
by Bill C.
Okay, it doesn't look BAD, but it does look very...paint-by-numbers, for lack of a better phrase. It might be a decent rental or something.
-
I expected most of you to bitch about this and here you are. I actually laughed at a lot of this trailer. It looks like a fun ride
-
And people are already saying she plays te same part in *every* movie.
-
Nov. 16, 2012, 4:11 p.m. CST
Just when we thought we finally got rid of Rosie O'donnell....
by kindofabigdeal
This McCarthy bitch shows up. (sigh)
-
Nov. 16, 2012, 4:18 p.m. CST
that looks AWFUL...even phoned in, at the same time as repetitive
by future help
AWFULLL. and they always introduce McCarthy in a trailer as a shocking character. the woman equivelant of Chris Farley/Will Ferrel sorry id i misspelled...
-
'Cause they're FAT! That said, this looks like Citizen Fucking Kane compared to Beautiful Creatures.

Anyone see that Workaholics where Adams cousin is fat and in that scooter.

Were her thighs rubbing together? That's the only acceptable answer to that question.

The 15 minute gun battle in the L.A. street should be interesting
by I_Snake_Plissken
This is a remake, right?
-
Can't help it. I like the attitude. Sexy.
-
shes good at comedy ill give her that. but the talking pig should stick to that. the academy gave her an oscar for political reasons to make itself feel better
-
she looked good in demo man and speed, but shes had so much work done on her face as someone said above, she looks like michael jackson now
-
Bette Midler would have been in the Mccarthy role and either Goldie Hawn, Shelly Long or even Lily Tomlin in the Bullock role. That being said... This looks fun.

Color me disappointed. I like them both, but that trailer barely made me smirk. Go back and do it right!

The show that pays the leads to get fatter with each passing episode.
-
Two fat people. HAHAHA.

I use to drink a lot, and ended up inside quite a few fatties. These girls are so hungry, they suck down your man chowder like a starving African child.

Not by much, but what can you do?

80s/90s movie storylines get recycled to capitalize on McCarthy!
by gaygoonie
This looks like a remake of FEDS, starring Rebecca De Mornay and Mary Gross. IDENTITY THIEF (clever title) is like Housesitter, the Steve Martin movie. Not exactly but you know what I mean.

So apparently, the producers of this film saw the equally unfunny "The Other Guys" and said to themselves "Hey, we need to make a female version of this film! That's comedy gold!" Pass.

Some find females starring in movies threatening
by DukieMichaelNamondRandy
not like I think this looks genius, but damn guys. People saying "it's a female this!" are partially right, yeah, it's a genre film, but it starring females seems to threaten people who have no respect for women. S'true. People who don't get none (mostly). Take for example Anita Sarkeesian (FeministFrequency.com) who looks to make a video game that avoids female tropes and stereotypes Kickstart a game with a true female protagonist with depth. People end up photoshopping pictures of her beat up or with sexual messages stamped on them, post them anonymously and what's their point? Why try to take a woman down unless you feel somehow threatened by someone pointing out the truth about gender, which is dumb unless you believe every stereotype is inherent to every member of that gender. Now, I get if you don't think this looks funny, or if you already have Jonah-Hill-Syndrome connected to Melissa McCarthy (OMG she's only been in two movies and plays the same role! I'm SOOO over her now!). But saying someone said "let's do a woman version of this!" without putting any thought or work into the film JUST BECAUSE IT STARS WOMEN doesn't seem justified...unless, of course, you were born in 1930s. Then using the internet as a way to get angry about "those things that make babies it's okay to hit" ought to help you keep your blood pressure down via lack of actual confrontation.

^Anything not starring white guys is always the *insert gender/race here* version of it

That is just how it's viewed by the demographic.

I think women liked Bridesmaids because of the Wedding theme
by gridlockd
Not sure they'll respond to the old 'Tough cop saddled with wacky new partner' routine
-
Taking the fat popular character out of the ensemble cast, pairing them with a traditional actor in a tried-and-true Hollywood genre (road trip, cop movie)
-
That sure looks funny...they're both efficient, but in different ways, and are SOOO mismatched as a team! I bet they hate each other at first then begin to like each other and by the end, Sandra has learned a little bit about being impulsive and enjoying life, and Fatty has learned just how rewarding a little hard work and self-respect can be. A few laughs, a few *perps* locked away in the *pokey*, and then some wine and life lessons. I foresee a hilarious scene where the whole police crew gathers down at the bowling alley to unwind and Fatty out-bowls and out-drinks all the male cops...maybe there's even a *black guy* cop! This movie will only make whatever money the local nitwit school generates when they take out the 'tards on weds afternoon for *safe movie and then feed the pond duckies* fieldtrip day. I hope the DVD releases an alternate audio track where you get to hear all retards in the audience laughing uproariously at this comedy masterpiece.

Don't hate on McCarthy. She is an amazing actress. She was one of the best parts of Gilmore Girls. If Hollywood can't find something awesome to do with her, they are the ones with the problem.
-
Love me some Sandra Bullock. I'd show her what those fucking seashells are for.

With all of Mellisa McCarthy's talent, why did she sign up to play "generic sitcom girlfriend" on Mike & Molly?!
by Royston Lodge
I guess a job's a job. Still, she's so much better than that show.
-
...especially since she appears to be playing the same character from Miss Congeniality. Now, imagine if it was Jodie Foster doing her best Clarice Starling impression, instead of Sandra Bullock? That woulda been pretty badass.
-
....how many of you douche bags are gonna blame your wives for seeing this?
-
...but in light of films like BRIDESMAIDS, which have now proven to Hollywood that women will turn out in droves for films geared towards them...
-
why would people want to watch attractive women sink to the depths of american gross out "comedy". its ridiculous and this style of humour has to end. at least the 80s and pre something about mary 90s comedies had some wit and subtlety
-
..or seen one on TV - they just can't do funny. Except for driving - but thats unintentional.. No funny female comedians. FACT.
-
I don't know if you'd classify this as a chick flick per se but I'd see it just for the wondering-what-it-looks-like factor. From the trailer, it looks OK, not great, just OK. Melissa McCarthy, can you get any more butch-you REALLY could be one of those macho acting lesbians. Sandra Bullock can arrest me any time. If she reads me my rights, I'd reply: You can use this against me in a court of law any time: I'm Bullock-ed. Play cops-and-robbers with me any time.

@dukiemichaelnamondrandy...is that video game with the female protagonist called "Sandwich Maker"???
by kindofabigdeal

Generally it's fat chicks with the shallower, tighter vaginas while skinny chicks tend to be more cavernous and loosey goosey. You'd think it would be the other way around but it's not. This movie will bring that humorous misconception to light involving a wine bottle and some brie cheese.
