Hot Pursuit

Right now you can watch Hot Pursuit in Australia on Stan and MGM Amazon Channel, and in the US on fuboTV and MGM+ Amazon Channel — and it is funnier than its reputation suggests. The runtime earns every minute, with nothing here that feels like padding. Its 6/10 TMDB score, built from 1,744 ratings, reflects a title that consistently delivers. Reese Witherspoon is the obvious draw, but the whole ensemble earns its laughs. Start it on Stan whenever you need something guaranteed to land.

There is a reason Hot Pursuit keeps coming up in conversation. Hot Pursuit gets the fundamentals right first, then finds room to get weird with it. Straight-arrow policewoman Cooper is excited and thrilled about her next assignment. Her task is to escort Daniella Riva, a wisecracking Colombian beauty, from San Antonio to Dallas so both she and her husband can testify against a drug lord. Plans go awry when Mr. Reese Witherspoon and Sofía Vergara lead a cast that never overplays a joke. It was released in 2015. The timing in Hot Pursuit is precise enough that even the throwaway lines land on a second watch. There is real craft here, even in the moments that do not fully land.

For viewers who want something light without wanting something stupid, Hot Pursuit respects your intelligence. It does not lean on comparisons to make its case. A contained runtime means every scene is doing real work. Reese Witherspoon anchors an ensemble with real chemistry. Genuinely funny, consistently, across the whole run.
