This Is the End has been hailed as the summer's great R-rated comedy, but I think we have another one on the way.  After the smashing success of Bridesmaids, director Paul Feig is back with the buddy-cop action-comedy, The Heat.  The film stars Sandra Bullock as an uptight FBI agent who's paired up with a foul-mouthed Boston cop played by Melissa McCarthy.  The red-band trailer absolutely won me over, and while the movie might not radically reinvent the buddy-cop formula, the execution could be top-notch with the dynamic between Bullock and McCarthy.

And here’s the official synopsis:

Uptight and straight-laced, FBI Special Agent Sarah Ashburn (Sandra Bullock) is a methodical investigator with a reputation for excellence–and hyper-arrogance. Shannon Mullins (Melissa McCarthy), one of Boston P.D.’s “finest,” is foul-mouthed and has a very short fuse, and uses her gut instinct and street smarts to catch the most elusive criminals. Neither has ever had a partner, or a friend for that matter. When these two wildly incompatible law officers join forces to bring down a ruthless drug lord, they become the last thing anyone expected: buddies. From Paul Feig, the director of “Bridesmaids.”
