Critics Consensus

Shrill and unfunny, Hot Pursuit bungles what should have been an easy opportunity to showcase Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara's likable odd-couple chemistry.

On the surface it was presented as a witty lady cop/inadvertent sidekick comedy, but what it felt like was a misogynistic kidney punch.

A picture in which every single element conspires to make it feel like a movie you rented one lonely Saturday night back in 1987 and immediately regretted.

1/5

Both leads offer a diminished shtick, Witherspoon flustered and prim, Vergara flogging her zany Latina firecat routine from Modern Family.

At least, the mood is light and the antagonists so phony that predicaments remain entirely playful.

Hot Pursuit isn't so godawful that it makes you want Witherspoon to hand back her Oscar nomination.

Funny, sometimes peculiar, sometimes haha. Great cinematography. Well written. Fast moving with enough drama, flair, style, pizzazz, clumsy fumbling, hilarious encounters, serious misunderstandings, melodrama, action and just good old fun. Easy on the eye and really no serious concentration needed. Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara shines in character, well, whole cast convincing in character. If you have some sense of humor, you'll understand ...

Filme fraco, o roteiro é fraco, as cenas são fracas, a história é fraca, o elenco é fraco, e ninguém ajuda a melhorar o filme, os personagens são fracos, e o filme deveria ter cenas bem melhores e relevantes, para fazer o filme ser bom

I thought it was pretty funny. It’s not smart or really great, but it’s really silly and funny which I need sometimes.
