Cooper (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.

This film actually turned out to be much better, and somewhat funnier, than I expected. Well, not quite because a lot of these films have a few really cool jokes right at the beginning, and then just devolve into a bout of silliness. However, the premise is still pretty good, and I was kept entertained right through to the end, even though it was pretty cliched in many ways, and the ending was pretty much what you expected the ending to be. So, we have this woman, whose Dad's a cop and she has been riding in the back of the car with him since she was a little girl. Obviously she grows up to become a cop, even though her Dad is probably famous for being the cop that had his daughter ride in the car with him (and there are a couple of pretty cool scenes in that opening part as well). Unfortunately, she is also one of those really innocent people that doesn't understand a lot of slang, so eventually gets herself in trouble and lands up in the evidence room. Well, the movie starts with this drug lord's accountant wanting to testify and they have to get him to Dallas to appear in court. Well, since his wife is going to be with him, they need a female escort as well, and she ends up being the one picked. The problem is that everything turns sour when a couple of assassins shoot the dealer, and the Federal Marshall, and our friend finds herself having to transport the drug dealer's wife across the state of Texas. To say that she happens to be a handful is a huge understatement. What we have here is your typical odd couple road movie, which when done well can be a lot of fun. In fact I don't mind the occasional road movie, particularly when it is done well. Okay, there seems to have been quite a few of them being churned out over the years, but that is probably because they work, and work well. Of course they have to be done well for them to work, and while I'd hardly put this film up there with some of the greats, it still has a lot of charm. Funny, well, I'm not entirely sure about that. As I mentioned, a lot of these films are light hearted and fun, but they generally have the really good jokes at the beginning, and then just settle down into a nice adventure through to the end. In a way it is very rare to actually find a comedy that has you laughing right through, though unfortunately many of these movies don't have a great rewatch value. In another way, it is sort of one of those coming out films, as they all tend to deal with an adventure that really changes a character. At the start she is very awkward, innocent, and really doesn't understand the way things work, but by the end, after being forced to spend a great deal of time with somebody who is her polar opposite, she begins to learn to relax, and to just go with the flow. Sure, she still has that perky innocence about her at the end, but in a way she has come out of her shell, and understands the world much better.

This movie caught my eye a while back, and when I was browsing through DVDs to rent, I decided to finally watch this. It seemed interesting - an action comedy with two amazing ladies starring. Female led comedies are really fun most of the time, and female led action comedies will always be so much fresher than their male counterparts. The plot of the movie is really thrilling and exciting. Of course the patterns are typical: the two main characters are trying to get away from two bad guys, who still show up all the time and the main characters never seem to get rid of them. That's all very predictable, you can always tell that the two bad guys are going to show up at the worst moment possible. Still the story had amazing and clever twists I did not see coming. Of course there are some weaknesses to the plot. There was that forced romance between Witherspoon's character and the... Did that character even have a name? Nobody needed that!I love the leading actresses in this movie. I've seen Witherspoon in some romantic comedy once while I was in a plane, but I've always wanted to see Legally Blonde, I don't know why I still haven't. And Sofia Vergara is magnificent in Modern Family, and I really loved her in Machete Kills. Hot Pursuit is an entertaining action comedy. It's definitely worth a watch, although I will say this: it could've been gayer.

Reese Witherspoon is a great actress. I love her character in the movie. Funny and interesting. Sofía Vergara is also a good actress. It just her character, Mrs. Reva, did not caught my attention. The combination of both characters are great but not persuasive in my part.I did enjoy the movie but not fully. There are some scenes that are boring especially on the last action scene where Vicente Cortez and Mrs. Reva's face off. Honestly, it was pretty lame scene. I never though that it will end just like that. I have some questions left behind. Overall, Reese Witherspoon and Sofía Vergara produce a great comedy partner and the movie did an average job.
