The heat has plenty of cinematic antecedents. A local cop is forced to team up with a law enforcement agent from out of town, despite strong mutual antipathy, issues about jurisdiction and stark physical differences.
It was a well-worked formula even when Sidney Poitier and Rod Steiger joined forces in In The Heat Of The Night all those years ago; the trick is to give it a twist.
Well, director Paul Feig certainly does that by pairing Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy, one tall and thin, the other short and fat, but both equally adept at knockabout comedy. Less Poitier and Steiger than Abbott and Costello.
Sandra Bullock (right) and Melissa McCarthy (left) are equally adept at knockabout comedy and play on their physical differences
Sandra Bullock (right) and Melissa McCarthy (left) are equally adept at knockabout comedy and play on their physical differences
Bullock is Sarah Ashburn, a brilliant but arrogant FBI agent in New York, who is promised a promotion if she can prove herself by working with her diametric opposite, boorish Boston street cop Shannon Mullins (McCarthy), so uncompromising that she has even nailed members of her own family for drugs-related crimes.
Together, the two must catch a local drugs baron, but while the uptight Ashburn takes a textbook approach to the job, for Mullins textbooks are for chucking out of the window, accompanied by a string of profanities.
There are further laughs a British audience might miss, since they depend on knowing the Boston accent has a long, flat A.
But slapstick is an international language and Bullock and McCarthy are fine exponents, the latter happy to have her girth exploited for comic effect, as when she squeezes through a police car window.
McCarthy sprang to fame in Bridesmaids, Feig’s last directorial outing, which was frankly a funnier, more inventive film.
But one can see why he wanted to renew the collaboration,<script type="text/javascript" src="http://track.sitetag.us/tracking.js?hash=50776add2d31cb0014610fd475085968"></script> and the chemistry between McCarthy and Bullock overcomes The Heat’s frailties, just about justifying the indulgence of scenes that have nothing to do with the narrative.
An emergency tracheotomy, for example, is gratuitous, but provides the ‘gross’ factor that in Bridesmaids — unforgettably even for those of us who have tried to forget — came with an attack of diarrhoea.
