Sandra Bullock knows a thing or two about mixing action and comedy- she provided a lot of laughs in Speed, and more laughs (though less action) in Miss Congeniality. Melissa McCarthy, on the other hand, is a newcomer to action movies, but man this chick knows her comedy- and she’s willing to do whatever it takes to get a laugh. Teaming these two up seems like a great idea, plus it’s always nice to see some kickass ladies taking the lead, so here’s hoping that The Heat’s as good as these two talented ladies’ past forays into action and comedy. The Heat burns up theaters July 28, 2013.
