firecatThe Heat is a buddy cop movie set in Boston starring Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy. I thought it was really funny, and the humor does not rely on fat jokes (McCarthy is fat), fat stereotypes, sexual assault or harrassment.[1] There are some jokes based on appearance, and a lot of jokes based on class.
Normally I wouldn't see this type of movie in the theater but I did because wanted to reward the producers for making a film of this type that stars women.
There are spoilers in the comments.
[1]ETA: Add "against women". There were jokes about sexual harrassment of men.
