This Movie Can Only Be Described With One Word.
... View MorePlot so thin, it passes unnoticed.
... View MoreBlending excellent reporting and strong storytelling, this is a disturbing film truly stranger than fiction
... View MoreWhile it is a pity that the story wasn't told with more visual finesse, this is trivial compared to our real-world problems. It takes a good movie to put that into perspective.
... View MoreIt's somewhat fun and interesting and we have a "dressed to kill" Sofia Vergara throughout the whole movie, but, that's about it as good points go for this movie. Well, unless you count the fact that it doesn't have much misandry as a good thing, which you kind of do, seeing how many of modern female-lead movies dwell in misandry.It's not very funny, and the best joke, Vergara shooting obscenities in Spanish to the TV whenever it reports that she is 40+ years old, gets old by the third time it is played out.Also, Vergara is best served in small doses. As a protagonist of a whole move, she also gets old (pun intended).The story doesn't make much sense, which is kind of OK for a comedy, but, this one is too unfunny to let the nonsense "pass".Reese Whiterspoon tries, but, doesn't get into the part very well. Her accent is fine, but she's not in sync with her role of a tomboy, which is kind of odd, she should be good for this and it's a wonder she hasn't played the part more often. Actually, that might be the problem, she didn't practice it enough, so, now she doesn't do it very well.So, it's not something to avoid at all costs, but, there are many much better comedies.
... View MoreCooper (Reese Witherspoon) is a "hyper-focus" policewoman. She is allowed to leave the evidence locker to escort a reluctant high value witness (Sofía Vergara) to Dallas. Circumstances causes their plans to go awry and they become on the run, trying to avoid both criminals and cops who want them dead.The movie is cute, but not an over powering comedy. The jokes get old fast such as Sofia's age and Witherspoon's height. Sofia wear a shirt which says "Butter my Biscuits" for much of the film while Reese boasts a red dress. They shared a kissing scene and a cat fight because that is what the writers had to stoop to to get laughs. The film had potential as Reese got to use a full southern accent, but the script flopped.Guide: F-bomb in soundtrack. No sex or nudity.

... View MoreI like Reese Witherspoon very much and I think she is very talented actress. So I'm trying to watch every movie she is in. And also I am a fan of comedies and chick flicks, so why not try this one too. Hot Pursuit's plot did seem okay, when I read the short summary, but after 15 minutes I realized that this movie is going to be boring and predictable. The characters were so annoying, and in the wrong way. There was nothing we haven't seen before.I wonder why Witherspoon agreed to do this movie, because this was terrible. No entertainment value what so ever and no funny jokes. And Vegara was just plain awful, no talent in acting. Or at least not in this movie. This is not the worst movie I've seen, but definitely Witherspoon's worst movie.
