The Heat is too long and has too much going on, but there are some really funny moments. It would benefit from a solid edit, chopping out a bunch of noise.

Uptight and straight-laced, FBI Special Agent Sarah Ashburn is a methodical investigator with a reputation for excellence--and hyper-arrogance. Shannon Mullins, 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.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
Two fiercely contrasting cops bicker, clash, and gradually realize they make an unstoppable team while chasing a dangerous criminal. It's a raucous buddy comedy that trades action for character chemistry and finds genuine warmth beneath the profanity and chaos.
