Hot Pursuit Official Trailer #1 (2015) – Sofia Vergara, Reese Witherspoon Movie HD
On Wednesday, a group of bloggers and our guests were treated to an evening of cocktails, candy, hors d’oeuvres and a preview of the new movie HOT PURSUIT starring Reese Witherspoon as Police Officer Rose Cooper, Sofía Vergara as Daniella Riva, and a host of crazy, comedic characters portraying dirty cops, drug cartel honchos, an armed farmer and a love interest. The basic premise of the movie is that Witherspoon/Cooper, “an uptight and by-the-book cop,” who was assigned to desk duty after running over the local mayor’s son in her small town in Texas, has been given an opportunity to get back into the ranks with a new tough assignment. She is to go with another cop, Officer Jackson, to pick up Sofia/Daniella who plays the wife of, Felipe Riva, a drug dealer/mob boss who has agreed to testify against his drug cartel boss, Vincente Cortez, and place her in protective custody.

Hot Pursuit Official Trailer #2 – Exclusive Intro (2015) – Sofia Vergara, Reese Witherspoon Movie HD
Witherspoon/Cooper arrives at the Riva home to find Sofia/Daniella in tight clothes, sexy, sky-high shoes, and mouthing off about her own plans. Before any real attempt to escort Sofia to safety is made, a couple of masked crooked cops and cartel cronies show up. The ensuing shoot out leaves Felipe and Officer Jackson dead, and the rest of the movie is one hysterically funny adventure of mishaps, escape attempts and smart one-liners, that would make even the most serious-minded amongst us laugh out loud. The comedic storyline isn’t quite as linear as one would expect. There are twists and complex turns that change what the film might appear to be; we find out snippets about the key characters as this highly entertaining movie progresses. What do we learn? I’ll save you from all the spoilers, you’d have to watch the movie to find out. I’ll share a couple of helpful tidbits below though.

“Stop treating me like some stupid rookie cop” Reese Witherspoon (Cooper) to Sofía Vergara (Danielle Riva)

Hot Pursuit – Official Trailer 2 [HD]
For starters, the dirty cops in pursuit of Cooper and Daniella are small fry compared to the bigger crooked cop she confronts later. The cartel gunmen pursuing them also have a surprise connection to Sofia. Vincente Cortez, the cartel honcho that the Feds want to prosecute, has a personal beef with Sofia and vise versa. Cortez is a tough guy who isn’t afraid to shoot his opponent anywhere even at a celebratory event. The movie is fast paced, funny and full of great moments that would have you laughing in the theater. Reese and Sofia are well matched in that they are such polar opposites, you won’t help but love their barbs at each other and their moments of collaboration. Love shows up in the guise of, Randy, a criminal on the lam. He adds a sweet and equally funny touch to the movie and you’d love the exchanges he has with Reese/Cooper. This is an entertaining movie to enjoy with friends on an evening out. It’s worth the over the top laughs, Officer Cooper’s robot-like behavior and police-jargon juxtaposed against Sofia’s sexy mama antics. Go see this one!
Now grab your tickets and head on out to your local theater starting May 8th to see this adorable movie. You can also read more about Hot Pursuit on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

Sounds good, I like a good belly laugh!
Same and this had many opps for a belly laugh. 😆
I saw the trailer for this and I’m really looking forward to seeing it. I’ve always loved both women and can’t wait to see them together.
It was a good match because they are so different. It made the comedic impact greater.
It seems like these two ladies had a fun time filming this movie. I typically like to see them in more serious roles, however.
True… They did a great job in this cop comedy flick. 🙂
This definitely sounds like a movie I want to see. I love slap stick comedy and that is what this seems like. I love to laugh!
Slap stick comedy fits the bill. You’ll have a lot to laugh at… 🙂
I love Sofia Vergara so I will definitely be seeing this one. It looks really funny.
Who in their right mind doesn’t love Reese? Probably something I’ll end up seeing when it’s on Netflix though. I usually go to the movies with my husband and I’m sure he’d pass on this 😉
No worries… watch it when it comes on video. You’ll enjoy it either way.
This is going to be such a great movie, I want to watch it. Reese Witherspoon is always great in all movies she plays in. Watching the trailer and putting on my list of movies to see.
Terri, you have a good sense of humor so i think you’d enjoy this one.
This movie looks like it will be a good hit. I hope it’s not overly stupid and has a nice even level of comedy.
I love Reece Witherspoon! My fiancé even wants to go see this (although I have to believe Sophía Vergara has something to do with that.)
Hahaha! It’s cool as long as you are there too to see the movie. 🙂
This looks like a movie that both my husband and I would enjoy! That rarely happens, lol! Thanks for the review, it sounds like a great date night 🙂
It’s light and funny! Perfect for a date night… Lots of good lines.
Reese is a great actress. This may be a cute one to see!
It is very, very funny!
I can’t wait to see the movie. It looks so funny!!
I can’t wait to see this film. These two actresses must have an amazing chemistry onscreen.
I think you’d appreciate the humor! 😉
This movie looks hilarious. I cannot wait to see it in the theaters on my next date night with the hubby.
A Vergara-Witherspoon pairing is a no-brainer for a funny movie! I can’t wait to watch this during my vacation! 😀
You’d love it. 😉
Should be a funny movie!!
I cant wait to see this movie. I was just telling my husband this yesterday .Looks great. Also love that you got to attend that!
Looks like a fun movie! Thanks for sharing the trailer! 🙂
Hot Pursuit is not only entertaining, but it is also funny. And more so, it is thrilling in the sense that cops are running after these two ladies. I want to see this one when it will be shown in our place. – Gil Camporazo
Good. I do hope it shows in the area soon.
Women as the main characters are really fun to watch. With these two superstars, I think, this movie needs an amazing introduction worldwide. Fernando Lachica
Ahh This looks like a great review! I wanted to see this movie.
I saw the cocktail party on your instagram too. Thanks for this movie review.
Sounds like a great movie to catch with the girls the next time we have a girls-night-out! Thanks for the review!
I haven’t caught this film yet… Usually slapsticks are either you like it or you don’t… In this case, no guys to catch my attention 😛
You are funny! There are guys in the movie just that these two ladies are the main stars. 😉
Hot Pursuit looks like such a funny movie! I can’t wait to see this with my girlfriends!
This is on my list of movies to see this year. I love Reese Witherspoon and the trailer makes this movie look like a fun time.
This looks so funny! I’m totally gonna have to see this one!
What a fantastic blogger event! I have seen this film advertised but doubt I will get the chance to go to the cinema and watch it – will have to wait for it to come out, sounds like something I would enjoy. Sim
This looks like a great movie. I haven’t seen the previews but it sounds right up my alley. Thank you for sharing.
This seems like a funny movie. I just watched the trailer and it forced me to think; it’s just like a movie full of laugh and fun.
Sounds like it would be a fun show to see. Great cast.
This looks like it might be a pretty funny movie! Reese Witherspoon usually acts in pretty good movies!!
She does really great comedic work too. It was a ton of laughs. 😉
Looks like a great movie! I will have to check it out!
You’ll enjoy it… Funny and entertaining.
Forget the movie…I wanna know how a blogger gets invited on a night out. I’d be there. 🙂
Hahaha! Sign up with BlogHer and SheKnows and when something comes up that fits, they’ll invite you.
It’s the first time I’ve heard of this movie! Where was I all this time, under a rock? Haha. I love both lead actresses, Reese is so funny! The trailer is hilarious, now I can’t wait to see the movie itself! Thanks for the heads up!
I saw the trailer of this film a couple of times & I told myself that I am so going to watch this on the big screen – Sofia Vergara has become one of my favorite actresses ever since I saw her in Modern Family. I hope Hot Pursuit is still on next weekend.
This is amust-see film for me. I am a big fan of Reese..
I would have never thought these two actresses would appear in the same movie. I must admit that I’m not that interested at first glance, BUT I said the same thing about that movie with Sandra Bullock and Melissa McCarthy – and I wound up liking it.
Looks like a great slap stick comedy. Hope I can get my boy to watch it with me, looking forward to it!
I think the previews are funny. I bet it is a good show to go see and just be able to chill!
It is easy entertainment… 🙂
this is the first time ive heard of this! i need to see when its out in the uk
This really does look like a blast. I’ll have to see it
I thought the movie looks like a funny one, I love Reese Witherspoon. She is pretty funny, I would love to bring my mom to this movie.
this looks like it’s going to be pretty funny! but for now there’s so many movies to catch, and so little time. might end up giving this a miss instead because i’m not a huge fan of both ladies….
Looks like you had fun! I want to see this movie so bad- looks cute!
I did not know you also wrote movie reviews. This is in local theaters now, but unfortunately I will not be able to catch it or write about it because I am going out of town. Hope it will still be there when we come home. – Fred
I do occasionally as I do love movies. I don’t write them as much as you do. TY! 🙂
I like Resse Witherspoon, but Sophia Vergara drives me up the wall!
Not really sure if this movie is shown here. but after reading your review, sounds like it’s a really funny movie!~ Gonna go in and watch if it’s shown here, and laugh to the maximum!
Hardly see you review about movie here, the Hot Pursuit is hilarious. I shall catch it in the cinema soon. What a great event for a movie preview, awesome!
I love Reese, and I’m sure she is spectacular in this movie. Hope to watch it with hubby this week.
Reese is a nice actress though I am not a big fan of either of them but with trailers movie looms brilliant with a good laugh.. surely a good dose of fun ! Hope I can watch this with my family.
I’ve been watching Reese Witherspoon for as long as I can remember and she’s one of those actresses that I’ve seen grow up. It’s going to feel different though seeing her in a comedy film, but I guess that just shows how good she is at her craft. She can do any genre.
I saw this trailer on the movie, sounds like a fun movie to watch. I might watch it.
This is another movie to watch out for. Reese looks old though she’s still reminds me of the blonde movie she starred in before. Hehe. Hoping this movie would screen here in the Philippines too so I can watch it with a friend.
Reese Witherspoon is worth a watch, it’s been years since I’ve never seen her in the big screen. Looking forward on watching this one.
This looks like it will be funny. I hadn’t heart of it till your post but I’m sure I’ll see commercials for it very soon.
Such a good movie! I saw an early screening and got to meet Sofia Vergara!
Looks like a fun movie to watch! I’d love to see it sometimes.
I hadn’t heard about this movie until now. I will be keeping watch for it. I love comedy movies!
This is definitely a movie that I want to see!! Such a great chick flick 🙂
I love Reese Witherspoon! Will definitely try and watch this in the cinemas! It’s already been a while since I went to the movies anyway. 😀
