A ★★★½ review of The Heat (2013)

Thomas F. Wilson could live to be 200 and play hundreds of different characters but he'll always be Biff Tannen. Every time he appears onscreen you hear the audience silently mouth "Biff". Standard buddy comedy with startling (but still funny) levels of violence. The chemistry between Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy keeps this movie afloat. The movie almost doesn't need a plot but just has one so these characters can get to point A to B to C. Bullock and McCarthy's verbal and physical comedy more than make you wish there was a sequel. C'mon, Sandy! You did Speed 2
