The best critic slams of 'Hot Pursuit'
It seems like Hot Pursuit is anything but hot with movie critics (sorry, but we had to).
The Reese Witherspoon/Sofia Vergara buddy comedy currently has a devastatingly low 7% on Rotten Tomatoes. We rounded up the best critic slams of the film (get ready for a lot of "hot" puns):
Paste BN's own Claudia Puig:
"It's ill-conceived, not funny, overbearing and not in any way worth watching." (Read the full review here.)
The New York Times:
"We are in the midst of a comedy boom, and within it an explosion of feminist and woman-driven humor, but the news has apparently not reached Warner Bros. headquarters."
The Chicago Sun-Times:
"Hot Pursuit features one of the worst and most forced performances of Reese Witherspoon's career, an irritating performance by Sofia Vergara(whom I love on Modern Family) and a seemingly endless parade of lazy and arbitrary plot twists and turns."
Detroit News:
"The only thing hot about Hot Pursuit is its scant 87-minute running time. And it still feels like four hours."
Rolling Stone:
"A laugh could die of loneliness in this shrill, slapstick buddy farce. The proven comic gifts of Witherspoon and Vergara have gone MIA."
San Jose Mercury News:
"Hot Pursuit isn't something you should pursue. Ever."
TheWrap:
"If you've ever wondered what an Adam Sandler film starring Reese Witherspoon would look like, Hot Pursuit is it."
