    A Non-Comedy That Wastes Your Time

    Lacking comedy, Hot Pursuit is more or less a bland cop story that leaves you bitter for having wasted 90 minutes of your oh so precious time. The story is a cliche of cop comedies with zero new ideas and a boatload of irrelevant scenes. The acting, specifically Sofia Vergara's, was very awkward. She was fixing her hair every 5 minutes and was visibly concerned with how she looked, traits of an "eye candy" that's short of talent. Reese meanwhile, was torn apart by a seriously annoying script and a character that is very unlikeable up until the credits. In the end, this film is a poor excuse for a comedy and probably the worst film Ive seen Reese in.

    Glad I rented this

    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.

    Horrible, lazy writing and cliché acting.

    The entire movie is very lazily written, and panders to those who aren't phased by the same movie being released four times a year.

    Every scene in the movie feels like it's been done a million times before. Every time something happens, you already know what's going to go on for the next ten minutes.

    • Trivia
      Reese Witherspoon's real-life niece Abby James Witherspoon plays Reese's character Cooper as a little girl in the opening scenes.
    • Goofs
      The cuff shackling Daniella to Cooper during the bus chase is obviously so big that she could have freed herself from it at any time. After the chase has ended, Sofía Vergara accidentally pulls her hand halfway out of it (a second before Cooper says "Move! Move!"), then hurriedly slides it back on her wrist.
    • Quotes

      Daniella Riva: What is that white thing?

      Cooper: Oh, that's my underwear.

      Daniella Riva: That's no underwear. That's a diaper!

      Cooper: I like a lot of coverage.

    • Crazy credits
