	Media	Author	Review
		A. O. Scott 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"
		Peter Travers 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 (...) Rating: ★ (out of four)"
		Ann Hornaday The Washington Post	"There isn't one joke, sight gag or piece of slapstick tomfoolery that lands with any success or originality"
		Andrew Barker Variety	"Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara can't save this lazy, unfunny action-comedy"
		Claudia Puig USA Today	"Run away from 'Hot Pursuit'. (...) it's ill-conceived, not funny, overbearing and not in any way worth watching (...) Rating: ★ (out of four)"
		Jordan Hoffman The Guardian	"I can’t believe just how dumb Hot Pursuit is. Moreover I can’t believe just how much I laughed."
		Richard Roeper 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 and a seemingly endless parade of lazy and arbitrary plot twists and turns. (...) Rating: ★½ (out of four)"
		Inkoo Kang The Wrap	"If you've ever wondered what an Adam Sandler film starring Reese Witherspoon would look like, 'Hot Pursuit' is it"
