Ms. Bullock has, self-imposed sabbaticals notwithstanding, has been a reliable butts-in-seats movie star in a wide variety of genres for over 25 years.
To the extent that Bullock and Grant were both somewhat defined by the genre, it’s surprising that it took this long for them to hook up cinematically. It’s another example of how certain male stars were only as big as his female co-stars. Most of Grant’s vehicles were hits, but there was a clear upswing when the co-star was Sandra Bullock or Julia Roberts as opposed to, talent notwithstanding, Jeanne Tripplehorn, Sarah Jessica Parker and Drew Barrymore.
Sadly, it took until 2013 to get a decently-budgeted female buddy cop comedy. I wish the Paul Feig-directed/Katie Dippold-penned flick were a better, sharper and funnier movie. Both Bullock and Melissa McCarthy are committed. Still, too much of the film is either Bullock and McCarthy riffing to each other sans bystanders or McCarthy doing her abrasive schtick against characters who frankly don’t deserve it.
