THE HEAT

Melissa McCarthy is a wonder to watch as she pulls off both physically and verbally a big woman detective with no filters or fears of what you think! Screenplay by Katie Dippold was filled with great comedy.  A scene in the station house early on where McCarthy describes the size of her captain's balls sets the stage for some great jokes about men.  This is clearly a great film about two women and offers so much fun for women to watch.  Truth be told Abe loved it and the audience seemed to love it as well. Of course there's some formulaic sentimental moments toward the end but you can forgive those as you laugh your head off.  Hats off to Paul Feig for using McCarthy in something so much more developed than Bridesmaids.  Go see this.  For me it was great preparation for the work that needs to continue on Monday at the Capitol.  Women working together to get something done!
