Dragoneyed363 Now, I may be preaching to the perverted when it comes to feel good, women driven, action-comedies, but I'll still preach. I have now seen this movie around 5 times at least in the past year, more so in the last few months, and honestly, it's getting funnier with each viewing. On initial watch I gave the movie a 6. It passed the time, and provided chuckles and smiles in abundance. The story has been done to death, but who cares? Certainly not me. I am a firm believer in predictable movies can still be highly enjoyable and rewatchable. It does have strong similarities to The Heat, a better constructed, lengthier and more largely publicized film albeit and more films in general. The movie itself of course is not Oscar winning material, but if that didn't stop me from enjoying countless other feel-good movies, then Hot Pursuit has a place in my list of funnies that I now will gladly put on for a good time, anytime.From the moment the movie starts it's very clear that it's setting out to be a comical romp, and a fun one it is, and nothing more folks. Reese Witherspoon plays an uptight, country cop by the name of Cooper who is assigned to guard Sofia Vergara, a sassy, mind-speaking witness who is supposed to be appear in court in the criminal case of a drug-lord. As soon as these two actresses appear on screen together for the first time is where Hot Pursuit really earns it's name and lets the laughs roll. They completely ham up all their material and in my opinion, it works.There are scenes like the ridiculous 1/10 top comment mentions where the women are genuinely having fun on set. Is that not a good thing? Do you not want to see fun? Fun performances in a fun movie? The fun is at no one's expense either. Both Witherspoon and Vergara truly seem like they really enjoyed taking part in this film, and knew what they were doing with all the antics they were given. Some scenes are sheer gut busting laughter with how the women played them out.Besides the perfect, yes, perfect performances, other aspects like the ever growing age of Vergara and the ever shrinking size of Witherspoon are positively delightful. Another enjoyable aspect? Good supporting characters. Witherspoon's love interest is charming, the bad guys are believable and do not come across as cheap or overdone. Also, the movie is relatively short for nowadays running time. At 87 minutes it gets in and gets out with not little to pick at and complain about.Since watching the movie last night with my 15 year old step-niece, who said it's now one of her favorites, and concurring with my mom, sister AND brother who all enjoyed it, I have came to the conclusion this movie deserves an 8. In all technicality, I'd give it a 7. At the expense of letting ludicrous 1 star ratings bringing a movie that by no means deserves that much uncalled for hatred down any further, I rate it an 8. If you want to see movies that deserve a 1 star rating, look to anything in the Bottom 100, or anything in Ulli Lommel's directing career, if you can call him a director.However, at 5.1 (An under average rating, AVG being 5.5) with the most agreed with comment being a 1/10, Hot Pursuit is getting way too much flack, and further urges me to write a positive comment, and my first new review of 2018. Other feel good, female driven films that are largely criticized on here include: Anything at all with Melissa McCarthy or Hilary Duff, Honey starring Jessica Alba, Coyote Ugly with Piper Perabo, and oh my gosh, none of these films deserve to be put on such a fiery stake they appear on for some people. They are empowerment films. Films created to truly just sit back and watch and enjoy. I guess this is where I walk the fine line of "movie lover" and "movie critic", but I just don't care, if a movie is enjoyable it's enjoyable.Hot Pursuit is an enjoyable movie. Give any of those other movies I mentioned a chance if you enjoyed this one, and vice versa. You won't be disappointed. Review over.

Kuusafiiri I 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.

cassandrah-40737 The movie is a disaster. Don't waste your time and money. Witherspoon can act better than this. Vergara can't act at all. She had no problem being half naked in this movie, standing there in her bra showing off her fake boobs. She just loves that kind of attention and is so full of herself, that of course she's going to pursue a movie where she can flaunt herself. She just screams through the movie demonstrating the twit that she really is. She sucks as an actress in her stupid TV show too and I just don't understand why it's still on the air because it's so mindless and a waste of time. She's not an actress, she's a bimbo that's full of herself and likes to show off.

Desertman84 Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vegara stars in action comedy about a young female cop who tasked to provide security to a widow of a drug lord as they cross towards Texas amidst crooked cops and murderers that is entitled Hot Pursuit.Anne Fletcher directed this buddy comedy.The film is similar to the Thelma & Louise in the sense that we have two female lead characters who are on the road.But unlike the Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis starrer,this film is definitely lacking in more ways than one.We have a lot of unfunny jokes and a thin plot.Added to that,it presents nothing new as all the elements present in it are definitely going to be familiar for many moviegoers from the similar films they have seen in the past. Too bad that the film did not capitalize on Witherspoon and Vergara acting talents.Basically,it was just a visually entertaining film as we get to see these two gorgeous women for most part of the film and nothing more.
