Hot Pursuit - Disastrously Unfunny

Hot Pursuit is a rarity in that it's a female-led action-comedy. It's just too bad that it is almost completely devoid of laughs, creativity, and intelligence.

Is the "Recommendation" part of these reviews actually required?

I love how polarizing these reviews are. It's largely either "watch this movie right now on the off-chance the world ends tomorrow and you won't get to have seen it, dying full of regret" or "I am going to dedicate my life to inventing a machine that allows you to un-watch movies like this and I will be crowned King for it"

So we can't exactly blame Marter for giving it a negative review.

I'm not blaming them for anything, it wasn't a sarcastic comment! Too often I see reviews that try to be fair with really mealy-mouthed tactics that they don't deserve; this writer just lays it out brutally and I love it. No apologies, no attempts to make the movie feel better. It's hilarious.

Through the planting of discrete surveillance devices, I have learned why they were in this movie; Their kids needed shoes.

Wait... Where have I heard this director's name before?
*looks her up*
Wait... She directed The Guilt Trip, another movie with a mismatch pairing? Either this women likes directing movies with mismatched pairings as of recently... or she likes directing unfunny scripts as of recently...

I was confused by this review. It starts by saying the two leads are "talented", then does off to say they're unfunny and have been doing shit work for the past decade. Which is it?

reese witherspoon isn't someone i'd ever have called talented.

i'll definitely do that. i'm always looking for an opportunity to feel like i've given someone the pass prematurely. back in the day, i thought joe rogan was just the idiot who ruined the man show, did MMA announcing and Fear Factor, then a friend had me watch his standup, and it was smart, funny, and surprising. so yes, i will watch this The One Free Way and have my mind blown.

I've never really understood what Sofia Vergara is famous for.

Paul Blart 2 turned a significant profit. Consider that for a moment before crying. Over $100 million compared to its $30 million budget.

This one though, it looks like it hasn't broken even yet. But it's really close.
