I skipped both The Heat and Bridesmaids for (partially) the same reason: Melissa McCarthy. She was okay in Mike & Molly but I can already see this is going to be one of two types of actresses: she either grabs everything in her reach and becomes a female Adam Sandler or Rob Schneider before the day is over, or she's going to fall into typecasting, and becomes a female Ad... well... yeah.
And the worst part of The Heat was the fact that they teamed her up with Sandra Bullock. It's as if the director went out of his way to get Sandra Bullock in this because she was so damn funny in Miss Congeniality, and O-M-G wouldn't it be even more funny if she had to play the exact opposite of that, and Melissa was the shemale cop instead? *sigh*
I'm open to an all-female Ghostbusters cast, but I'd rather they didn't label it as such (Ghostbusters 3). And I sincerely hope they make a proper comedy out of this, with comedy the likes of The Naked Gun, the original Ghostbusters, or other classic comedy, and NOT the comedy that goes round nowadays, which is basically all about people running into things, hurting themselves, piss and fart jokes, and the rest of the ridiculously bad bag of scarymovie-epicmovie-etcetera 'jokes'.
I'm game, but something tells me this is going to fail.
