Linbeymusol Wonderful character development!

CrawlerChunky In truth, there is barely enough story here to make a film.

Brennan Camacho Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Stephen Abell Being a fan of Reese Witherspoon and enjoying Sofia Vergara in Modern Family I had to check out this film. It's a shame that the writers and director decided to take it in the direction they did. Witherspoon does a brilliant job of the OCD Cop Cooper, the scene with the "Baking Powder" is one of the best as she gets all hyper as does her speech, and Witherspoon stays in character and accent very well. However, it's Vergara that I feel sorry for as I've seen her in a couple of different roles and she is a good actress. But for the role of Daniella Riva, she's pretty much Gloria.As for the writing, well Feeney and Quaintance are not the best comedic writers I've seen; and along with the director's Anne Fletcher approach, the comedy is as subtle as a brick. For most of the time, the scenes are overcooked. For example, the escape through the men's toilet window. It's been done before, and better, though for me some of the dialogue could have been sharper and wittier. There's also great opportunity to have a little slapstick and sight gags, but this falls flat and the entire scene is too long. I think this would have been a much better film and the story had more seasoned writers and directors produced this movie. That said, it's not too bad a film and everybody needs to hone their skills; it's at least worth one watch to pass some time.The best scene in the movie is the one where Cooper and Daniella are handcuffed and need to drive a bus to escape the bad guys while trying to shoot them. This is a well thought out scene and actually did make me laugh, whereas, the rest of the film only raised a smile.The worst scene is the lesbian group. There are times when it's evident that men wrote this story and this is one of the points in case. Though, the entire scene and set-up feels strained and unloved. It's as though this was thrown into the film, and the director begrudgingly filmed it. Even Witherspoon and Vergara look and feel uncomfortable. It just doesn't work and should have ended up on the cutting room floor.All in all, this isn't the best comedic film I've watched, though it is better than a lot out there at the moment. As I said before it raised a few smiles and raised my mood, which is a good thing, so I would recommend at least one viewing - as long as there's nothing else you'd rather watch.

wingstephanie I don't know why people are giving this such bad review, Its Comedy, its supposed to be ridiculous. i had tears coming out my eyes from laughing so hard while watching this. It was amazingly funny, i haven't laughed like this in a long time, and i never looked at this until it viewed on cable for all the low ratings it got. just goes to show you got to make up your mind for your self, not everyone likes the same things, But I loved it, Im sure I will watch again. Reese is extremely funny and I've never seen Eva in anything, yes, I've never watched any of her stuff, but she was hilarious. I would recommend this movie, its a good slap stick belly jerking good time.

UGA-Brewer Glad I rented this, instead of seeing it at a theater. I'm shocked Reese Witherspoon agreed to this film. A very poor, silly comedy. I did however, see a glimpse of good acting ability in Sofia, when she showed her evil, serious side. I believe she could portray a great criminal, but that glimpse was simply that, a 20-30 second glimpse. I must admit, my wife was laughing and giggling throughout the movie at some of the more female oriented jokes. She seemed to enjoy it much more than I did. I was shaking my head almost the entire film. There was just too much slap stick to suit me. If you are a Sofia fan, you need to rent this. I don't think they could have showed much more of her body than they did without going to a higher rating. She is nice to look at but that screaming she does gets a bit irritating after a while. The film was only around an hour and thirty minutes long, I don't think I could have lasted much longer.

Kayang Turtz Amizola Reese Witherspoon is a great actress. I love her character in the movie. Funny and interesting. Sofía Vergara is also a good actress. It just her character, Mrs. Reva, did not caught my attention. The combination of both characters are great but not persuasive in my part.I did enjoy the movie but not fully. There are some scenes that are boring especially on the last action scene where Vicente Cortez and Mrs. Reva's face off. Honestly, it was pretty lame scene. I never though that it will end just like that. I have some questions left behind. Overall, Reese Witherspoon and Sofía Vergara produce a great comedy partner and the movie did an average job.
