Rating: 3/5 -- Rather than transcend the source material here, The Heat pads out worn clichés with funny one-liners and gross-out gags. Full Review

McCarthy's an actress who needs a foil, and for now Bullock is more than good enough. I just wish these two had found each other 10 years ago. Full Review

Rating: 2/5 -- There's a distinctive feeling that we are watching jokes as they are being constructed. Feig is liable to let the camera just run as McCarthy fires off a dozen lines on a topic, causing the jokes to feel badly strung out. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- The Heat is occasionally hilarious yet predictable, supported by the combined comedic skills of [Sandra] Bullock and [Melissa] McCarthy. Full Review

Rating: 3.5/4 -- Director Paul Feig, whose Bridesmaids upended notions of what a raunchy ensemble comedy could be, does it again here with another genre. Full Review

Rating: 3/4 -- The main appeal here is clearly the two leads, and indeed Bullock and McCarthy are a comedic dream team. Full Review

Rating: 3/5 -- The bland visuals and point-and-shoot directorial style mean that not much sticks in the mind, but 'The Heat II' would be an entirely welcome proposition. Full Review
