Melissa McCarthy, Sandra Bullock

My comments:  This was one freakin' hilarious movie.  Never mind the crazy over-the-top Boston accents ("are you a nahk?" - too funny).  The storyline was somewhat plausible, the characters were waaaay out there - and the actors depicting those characters WORKED it!  Totally entertaining, ha-ha-ha funny, stupidly endearing - those two protagonists work together like peanut butter and jelly.

Rotten Tomatoes summary:  Uptight FBI Special Agent Sarah Ashburn (Sandra Bullock) and foul-mouthed Boston cop Shannon Mullins (Melissa McCarthy) couldn't be more incompatible. But when they join forces to bring down a ruthless drug lord, they become the last thing anyone expected: buddies
