a5c7b9f00b Rose Cooper is an uptight and by-the-book cop whose name has become synonymous with screw-ups. She's given a chance to redeem herself one day when she is assigned to protect a federal witness, Daniella Riva, the vivacious and outgoing widow of a drug boss. As the two polar opposites race through Texas, they find themselves pursued by everyone from crooked cops to murderous gunmen. However, their greatest obstacle to making this out alive may be themselvesthey learn that Cooper has now been considered a fugitive fleeing with Daniella.

Worst writing and direction this side of Battlefield Earth. This was a mildly funny chase comedy I just watched with Mom on a Netflix disc. I mean, Reese Witherspoon can do comedy, anyone remember Legally Blonde? Sofia Vergara is also good being both sexy and funnyevidenced by her performances on the TV show "Modern Family". I certainly give them points for trying to really play up the farce of their situations in this movie. And there are some funny lines concerning either Reese's height or Sofia's age. Also when they encounter some "baking powder" or have to pretend to be a couple were also good for some laughs. But it does get tedious after a while. Still, it didn't last too long and it's not too painful to watch. So on that note, Hot Pursuit is worth a look and noting more. By the way, this was mostly shot in New Orleans, Louisiana, which is about a two-hour drive from where I'm currently living. The direction is credited to somebody named Anne Fletcher, but no evidence of it survives.
