There's hardly an area in which Hot Pursuit is not found lacking.

James Berardinelli, ReelViews

It's actually, actively worse than you think it's going to be.

The dueling accents are meant to be part of some mounting joke, in which each woman sounds like an idiot to the other. It's not funny. Neither is most of the movie, which throws these two at a wall of gags and hopes they stick.

Wesley Morris, Grantland
Rotten

A toothless and nearly laughless buddy comedy.

Rafer Guzman, Newsday
Rotten

"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.

Richard Roeper, Chicago Sun-Times
