Lucybespro It is a performances centric movie

SpunkySelfTwitter It’s an especially fun movie from a director and cast who are clearly having a good time allowing themselves to let loose.

Tobias Burrows It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.

Payno I think this is a new genre that they're all sort of working their way through it and haven't got all the kinks worked out yet but it's a genre that works for me.

jeffsanford Wow, what a worthless movie. Nothing funny, not a good plot, just an excessive amount of profanity to try to make it funny, but it didn't work. What a waste of time.

m-i-voicu Wildly uneven and too long. I suspect it would be getting much better ratings if at least some of the dud scenes and lines that fell painfully flat had been edited out. There's lots of room for doing this in a movie that's two hours long with credits. Plenty of very funny scenes, and excellent work by a lot of the supporting actors. Overall quite enjoyable. I feel like a lot of the painful moments stemmed from a failure to define any coherent sense of the two leads' characters - especially Bullock's. I suspect it's hard to deliver comic lines convincingly without a sense of who's supposed to be delivering them.

garthlotel Refreshing take on the mismatched buddy cop genre, the two leads are brilliant and their pairing works perfectly. Looks like they had a great time filming this and it was infectious. Laugh out loud hilarious.

tvsweeney-39052 This is a kind of female version of Lethal Weapon with Sandra Bullock as Murtaugh and McCarthy as Riggs, only not so much crazy as dedicated.The cop buddy film from a feminine slant, with Sandra Bullock as the by-the-book FBI agent and Melissa McCarthy as the loose cannon Boston cop.As for the violence... I'm thinking some of the scenes were objectionable because performed by female cops. I've an idea if male actors had been doing them, they would've been watched without a murmur. The best scene for me is when the two invade McCarthy's refrigerator (the depository for her cache of weapons) and dress as commandos, ready to do battle to win back their reputations and get the bad guys.My big objection is the many use of curse words and vulgarisms. In one sentence early in the film, McCarthy uses the f-word four times in the same sentence, with repetition plus others following. After several conversations containing more of the same, it got boring, then distracting, then annoying.It may not be the "funniest movie of the year" as the case cover states, but it does have a couple of genuine laughs along the way.This movie was viewed as a rental DVD and no remuneration was involved in the writing of this review.
