KnotMissPriceless Why so much hype?
AniInterview Sorry, this movie sucks
VeteranLight I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.
Janis One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.
Blueghost I'm not sure what to add here that hasn't been said already. It's just a run in the mill cop comedy, except that the police character in question happens to be a woman, and her escortee is a Latin American female.Unlike Jerry Lewis and Christopher Hitchens I know that women can be funny. There've been lots of funny women around. And the two actresses here actually do an excellent job of acting their parts. The only problem is that the writing is tepid at best. It's not bad, but it's cliché in a late 1990s 2000-teen era sort of way.The sexual comedy is not funny. The romantic moments aren't all that romantic. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of development about anything other than a basic plot and an attempt to play up the cultural divide between the two female leads.Again, not really a bad film, and technically it's "good", but I think I chuckled maybe three times. Which is too bad because I've seen both actresses in other roles, and they can make good dialogue sing. This material was essentially "by the numbers" kind of stuff. Formulaic retreaded scripts do not a good movie make. And all the A-grade talent in the world won't make up for it.Oh well. If you need a police comedy on your TV or computer monitor, go rent the first Police Academy movie, then hop onto a game server of your choice.See it maybe once, then pass it up if the opportunity to watch it again comes around.
Drew8618 I watched it last night and wasn't expecting much (because of all the negative reviews), however, I was pleasantly surprised. It actually has some very funny moments and the two leading ladies have a good on-screen chemistry. I really don't understand why people are coming out in droves to trash this film.... Reese and Sofia are both great and have solid acting chops.There are a few predictable moments and it does start a little slow, but once it gets rolling it is overall pretty funny.If you like comedies, and movies that aren't supposed to be taken seriously, then you won't be disappointed by Hot Pursuit. I enjoyed it so much that I plan on watching it again.
michael-3204 Inane, inept buddy comedy with too few laughs to sustain its borderline offensive story about a high-strung cop (Reese Witherspoon) trying to protect a witness (Sophia Vergara) who is supposed to testify against a drug lord. A film like this sinks or floats on the chemistry between its leads, since it doesn't have anything else going for it, and unfortunately Witherspoon and Vergara don't have much. They aren't helped by the weak screenplay or the flat direction. This looks like a slightly raunchier network TV sit-com. The clunky, uninspired action sequences never generate any excitement and serve to illustrate that its leads are not particularly gifted physical comedians. The humor is infantile and thoughtless, which might have been okay if it wasn't all stale about a decade ago.Those hoping, as I was, for Witherspoon to return to form headlining a truly engaging and funny comedy -- something we all know she can do superbly -- will have to wait a while longer. The most interesting thing about this movie is trying to figure out what made anyone. especially Witherspoon, think it was a project worth spending time and energy on.
UGA-Brewer Glad I rented this, instead of seeing it at a theater. I'm shocked Reese Witherspoon agreed to this film. A very poor, silly comedy. I did however, see a glimpse of good acting ability in Sofia, when she showed her evil, serious side. I believe she could portray a great criminal, but that glimpse was simply that, a 20-30 second glimpse. I must admit, my wife was laughing and giggling throughout the movie at some of the more female oriented jokes. She seemed to enjoy it much more than I did. I was shaking my head almost the entire film. There was just too much slap stick to suit me. If you are a Sofia fan, you need to rent this. I don't think they could have showed much more of her body than they did without going to a higher rating. She is nice to look at but that screaming she does gets a bit irritating after a while. The film was only around an hour and thirty minutes long, I don't think I could have lasted much longer.
