Since Paul Feig launched Melissa McCarthy's movie star career with Bridesmaids, the two have collaborated on three more comedies.
Ever since Paul Feig launched Melissa McCarthy’s movie star career with her supporting role in Bridesmaids, the two have created some unique projects. After working on Bridesmaids, Feig and McCarthy reteamed for the “buddy cop” action comedy The Heat, the spy spoof aptly titled Spy, and the all-female Ghostbusters reboot. Before working with Feig, McCarthy was best known for playing Sookie St. James on Gilmore Girls. But now, she’s a globally recognizable A-list star of the silver screen.
McCarthy is backed up by three hilarious Saturday Night Live cast members: Kate McKinnon, Leslie Jones, and McCarthy’s Bridesmaids co-star Wiig. These hilarious actors bring their A-game to the Ghostbusters reboot, but they are let down by a script that’s more focused on effects-heavy set-pieces than laughs.
Unlike the more subversive Hot Fuzz and The Other Guys, The Heat follows the “buddy cop” formula pretty closely. One is a straight-laced follower while the other is a roguish maverick who will happily break the law in order to enforce it. But McCarthy relishes the opportunity to play the latter as a brash, abrasive loudmouth and Bullock makes a likable comic foil as the much more sensible voice of reason.
