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.

It's great to see a road movie starring two brilliantly talented actresses.

Bitch Media

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

Flavorwire

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.

t's refreshing to see such a road movie being fronted by two female protagonists, particularly when they are played by two such watchable actresses as these.

Gone With The Twins

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

Rated: 3/10

Lame and unfunny. I couldn't even finish it. One of Witherspoon's worst performances.

Unfortunately it's way too forced, with too much Latino screaming, to really get you into the acceptable comic streak. Reese is the carrying sweet part, which makes the flick bearable, but only if you have nothing else to do.

Rated 2 out of 5 stars

Gosto de comédias péssimas, mas essa é um pouco exagerada demais, o intuito do filme é te fazer rir, mas não ri em nenhum momento que assisti o filme, além que as personagens são muito sem graça, principalmente a personagem da Sofia, poderiam ter feito uma coisa melhor.

Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars
