Hot Pursuit (2015)

A police officer (Reese Witherspoon) is assigned to protect the wife (Sofia Vergara) of a drug dealer (Vincent Laresca) who is testifying against a drug lord (Joaquin Cosio). But everything goes wrong and she finds herself with a dead partner, a dead witness and on the run with the wife from the bad guys. But who can she trust? Unabashedly giddy, the film rams through the stereotypes and cliches with two ace comediennes who know their way around a laugh. As the uptight by-the-rulebook cop, Witherspoon's affability has us rooting for her while Vergara, like Monroe and Loren before her, has the winning combination of being both sexy and funny. Whether fracturing the English language or teetering in 6 inch heels as she scampers, the woman is a marvel and she and Witherspoon have a nice, easy going chemistry. The director Anne Fletcher (THE GUILT TRIP) knows what she has in her leading ladies and doesn't get in their way, she just prods them in the right direction. With John Carroll Lynch and Robert Kazinsky.
