Highly Overrated But Still Good
It is not deep, but it is fun to watch. It does have a bit more of an edge to it than other similar films.
a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.
It's easily one of the freshest, sharpest and most enjoyable films of this year.
This was just horrible. I didn't find it funny at all. And I LOVE both these actresses. Both were very annoying. And Reese's accent was awful. I don't know, I only have a few movies that I can say are the worst I have ever seen, but this is one of them.
This film actually turned out to be much better, and somewhat funnier, than I expected. Well, not quite because a lot of these films have a few really cool jokes right at the beginning, and then just devolve into a bout of silliness. However, the premise is still pretty good, and I was kept entertained right through to the end, even though it was pretty cliched in many ways, and the ending was pretty much what you expected the ending to be. So, we have this woman, whose Dad's a cop and she has been riding in the back of the car with him since she was a little girl. Obviously she grows up to become a cop, even though her Dad is probably famous for being the cop that had his daughter ride in the car with him (and there are a couple of pretty cool scenes in that opening part as well). Unfortunately, she is also one of those really innocent people that doesn't understand a lot of slang, so eventually gets herself in trouble and lands up in the evidence room. Well, the movie starts with this drug lord's accountant wanting to testify and they have to get him to Dallas to appear in court. Well, since his wife is going to be with him, they need a female escort as well, and she ends up being the one picked. The problem is that everything turns sour when a couple of assassins shoot the dealer, and the Federal Marshall, and our friend finds herself having to transport the drug dealer's wife across the state of Texas. To say that she happens to be a handful is a huge understatement. What we have here is your typical odd couple road movie, which when done well can be a lot of fun. In fact I don't mind the occasional road movie, particularly when it is done well. Okay, there seems to have been quite a few of them being churned out over the years, but that is probably because they work, and work well. Of course they have to be done well for them to work, and while I'd hardly put this film up there with some of the greats, it still has a lot of charm. Funny, well, I'm not entirely sure about that. As I mentioned, a lot of these films are light hearted and fun, but they generally have the really good jokes at the beginning, and then just settle down into a nice adventure through to the end. In a way it is very rare to actually find a comedy that has you laughing right through, though unfortunately many of these movies don't have a great rewatch value. In another way, it is sort of one of those coming out films, as they all tend to deal with an adventure that really changes a character. At the start she is very awkward, innocent, and really doesn't understand the way things work, but by the end, after being forced to spend a great deal of time with somebody who is her polar opposite, she begins to learn to relax, and to just go with the flow. Sure, she still has that perky innocence about her at the end, but in a way she has come out of her shell, and understands the world much better.
I'm not sure what to add here that hasn't been said already. It's just a run in the mill cop comedy, except that the police character in question happens to be a woman, and her escortee is a Latin American female.Unlike Jerry Lewis and Christopher Hitchens I know that women can be funny. There've been lots of funny women around. And the two actresses here actually do an excellent job of acting their parts. The only problem is that the writing is tepid at best. It's not bad, but it's cliché in a late 1990s 2000-teen era sort of way.The sexual comedy is not funny. The romantic moments aren't all that romantic. There doesn't seem to be a whole lot of development about anything other than a basic plot and an attempt to play up the cultural divide between the two female leads.Again, not really a bad film, and technically it's "good", but I think I chuckled maybe three times. Which is too bad because I've seen both actresses in other roles, and they can make good dialogue sing. This material was essentially "by the numbers" kind of stuff. Formulaic retreaded scripts do not a good movie make. And all the A-grade talent in the world won't make up for it.Oh well. If you need a police comedy on your TV or computer monitor, go rent the first Police Academy movie, then hop onto a game server of your choice.See it maybe once, then pass it up if the opportunity to watch it again comes around.
The movie is a disaster. Don't waste your time and money. Witherspoon can act better than this. Vergara can't act at all. She had no problem being half naked in this movie, standing there in her bra showing off her fake boobs. She just loves that kind of attention and is so full of herself, that of course she's going to pursue a movie where she can flaunt herself. She just screams through the movie demonstrating the twit that she really is. She sucks as an actress in her stupid TV show too and I just don't understand why it's still on the air because it's so mindless and a waste of time. She's not an actress, she's a bimbo that's full of herself and likes to show off.
