About
You’ll likely enjoy The Heat if you want a fast, profane buddy-cop comedy with lots of big laughs and mismatched teamwork energy like Spy or 21 Jump Street; Not for you if you dislike crude humor or expect an especially original plot.
Pros: nonstop laughs; strong lead chemistry; entertaining stunts | Cons: generic buddy-cop plot; lots of profanity; some jokes may offend
