The guy who directed this and Bridesmaid is the science teacher from Sabrina The Teenage Witch?! My mind is blown. What's interesting about Paul Feig is that the movies he's directed are about females, and written by females. I think the way he chooses to go about his movies provides the perfect balance of enjoyment for men and women alike. As someone who enjoyed Bridesmaids I was really excited about The Heat. Feig has taken women from romantic comedies and given us buddy comedies. A genre prominently owned by men.
Summary: Ashburn is an uptight FBI agent sent to manage a case involving a drug lord. If she blows this case then she could find herself losing her job. Mullins is a local cop though who already feels connected to this case, so when Ashburn arrives they first are battling for who will maintain the investigation of it. The two are given no choice though to work together instead. With Mullins insight to the city, and Asburn's connection in the FBI the two find themselves a good team. They may also make the best of friends as well.

141 of 1001 Movies: Bridesmaids (2011)
I don't think there is a movie I've laughed more watching than Bridesmaids. There are many elements to this movie behind the scenes that give it enough balance to appeal to a broad audience though. You have Kristen Wig as a writer, so you get this comedic female emotions weaved in, you have a male director, Paul Feig, and Judd Apatow releasing it through is company. You have enough working for the movie to get all types of people to see it, and so many varying angles to make the comedy work.
Summary: Annie's life just can't seem to fall together. Her business failed, she is with a man who is using her for sex, and now she finds a rival in her a woman, Helen, who is a bridesmaid for her friend's wedding. She thinks maybe the one thing she can do is pull together a nice wedding for her friend, Lillian, but Helen is determined to let her planning skills shine. When Annie continues to mess up her wedding planning first with food poisoning, and then getting them kicked off a plane, she thinks maybe she isn't cut out for not only not being maid of honor, but maybe just a failure at everything. All the while she is being pursued by a cop that she can't seem to believe may be the real thing.
