Melissa McCarthy is a very funny actor.  The producer of this film, (who happens to be Melissa McCarthy) apparently believes that if a little bit of Melissa McCarthy is funny, a lot of Melissa McCarthy would be a lot of funny.  Unfortunately, this movie has too much Melissa McCarthy.  She is in the center of every scene, leaving very little room for anyone else.  (Yes, I said that.)  The movie is about a half hour too long and not only ceases to be funny, it gets violent and nasty.  I don't know why she thought that multiple killings on screen would fit in this comedy, but I think that it was a miscalculation.  She shoots everyone who happens to share a scene with her.  Although that is a unique way of focusing our attention on her, we lose any kind of identification with her character.  Let's face it.  Melissa McCarthy is not an action heroine.

Because that's exactly what The Heat was.

That last 'comedy' she did where she pretends to rob her fast food restaurant was The Fucking Worst.
