a5c7b9f00b An uptight FBI Special Agent is paired with a foul-mouthed Boston cop to take down a ruthless drug lord. Sarah Ashburn, an FBI agent, is extremely ambitious and has her eye on a promotion, but she doesn't get along with her co-workers. She is sent to Boston to uncover the identity of an elusive drug lord, Mr. Larkin, by tracking down his proxy, Rojas, and is told that she'll have a good shot at the promotion if she finds Larkin. When she arrives in Boston, she learns that Larkin has been eliminating his competition and taking over their operations. She learns that Rojas is in Boston PD custody and goes to see him to ask him what he knows about Larkin, but is warned that the cop who arrested Rojas, Shannon Mullins, is very territorial, and she is not exactly sociable. When the two meet they don't get along. When Mullins learns why Ashburn is in Boston, she decides to find Larkin herself. Ashburn is told by her boss to work with Mullins, but it won't be easy because Ashburn does things by the book while Mullins does things her way. I'm sad to see people are criticizing this amazingly funny film. Believe me i've seen a lot of films in this genre and like to state that this stands out in top 10. Melissa McCarthi is in the top form and well supported by Sandra Bullock. Though story lacks in any new concept it was accommodated by the performances by leads. If we leave aside our notion of great script and universal nobility of subject - this is best fun film to come out in years. The plot is developed well to flourish two leading characters and dialogs though some will find it obnoxious are beautifully woven to develop the characters. Film subtly comments on the misogynisty and on the mindset of working class in 21st century. I will be not surprised if Melissa McCarthi's performance gets considered for Academy Awards. The scene where Detective Mullins place knife back into Ashburn's leg was hilarious and also the scene where Ashburn cuts throat of customer in restaurant was awfully hilarious. No harm guys in watching it for one time. It's a good comedy. First thing you'll notice is the vulgarity. It starts almost right out of the gate. Seemingly a bit excessive and unnecessary and not at all suitable for pre-teens but like anything else that might not be up to any golden standard in this movie you'll quickly adjust and ignore it.<br/><br/>It's a simple summer comedy folks. Nothing highbrow but the comedy and jokes are fast and furious indeed. They play their roles so well.<br/><br/>It's been ages since I've seen any comedy that made the whole place laugh so often. One of the funniest movies of the summer, of the year and without a doubt, one of the funniest of this ilk that I've ever seen. Just plain FUNNY, just plain FUN.. A must see for the less than prudish! <br/><br/>MY only complaint... it was not long enough but I see that a sequel has already been planned. This might be a tough one to top but I'm all in for the next round! After watching the trailers, I was expecting torture, but this smart, subversive movie made me laugh. So shoot me. The US Blu-ray features two versions of the film. Next to the R-rated theatrical version, we have an unrated cut that doesn't offer a substantially better film. If you liked the theatrical version, you might enjoy some of the plot extension that the longer cut introduces since they add a little humor but they are not necessary to alter the film's overall impression. In total the Unrated Version runs approx. three minutes longer than the Theatrical Version.
