"Hot Pursuit", released in theaters May 8, then to DVD on August 11 stars the hotties Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara.
Cooper portrayed by Witherspoon is a 100 percent by the book cop assigned to escort Daniella Riva, (Vergara) from San Antonio to Dallas, so Riva and her husband can testify against a drug lord.
The story is OK, but "Hot Pursuit," despite having two gorgeous leading ladies is a complete waste of time. "Hot Pursuit" is a comedy, yet it's not funny. It was briefly amusing in the beginning when the very young Cooper (Abigail James Witherspoon ) was riding along with her police officer dad in his police car. When Cooper (Abigail James Witherspoon ) compliments a woman prostitute on how pretty she and a mans voice says thank you, so are you, that was the only time I laughed or even smiled. The old jokes roll out;
"I would have walked out on the movie is I was on an airplane."
"I've seen better film on teeth."
The young Cooper saved this horrible flick from a no star rating to a one star one. Plain and simple, if the movie is a comedy, it's supposed to be funny. "Hot Pursuit" should have never been made, it's arguable the worst comedy ever made.
"I Am Chris Farley," is Great if You're a Chris Farley Fan for Sure.
If you don't like Chris Farley, then this documentary may not be for your eyes, but for myself and other Farley fanatics, "I Am Chris Farley" is entertaining, funny and sad.
Spawned to the general public on Aug, 10, from Spike TV, then DVD on Aug. 11, "I am Chris Farley" features a lot of interviews from many today's well known comedians including Mike Myers, Adam Sandler, Bob Saget, David Spade and a bunch more.
For me, and a lot of others, Farley was a one a a kind comedic icon. His cartwheel entrance and interview on the David Letterman show in 1995 is hilarious as well as insightful. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tf4TqKMSeEI) Whether or not he was on the influence of hard drugs or just a wildly hyperactive comedian that night, one thing is clear, he was extremely funny and a one of a kind entertainer.
"I Am Chris Farley" touches base with his truly good nature. He often gave money to the homeless, and said to others that a homeless person could be Jesus, and maybe it's a test. He also frequently visited children's hospitals and entertained the children for free.
Former Victoria Secret model and the woman in the white bikini in Farley's movie "Tommy Boy," Lorri Bagley was also interviewed in "I Am Chris Farley." She was also his girl friend and mentioned what a kind hearted soul he was.
I would have like to have seen more comedy sketches and more detail on his excesses in this documentary, but over all, I give it three stars.
Farley was the same age as Jesus Christ (https://bible.org/question/how-old-was-jesus-when-he-was-crucified) when he left this world at 33-years-old. He accidentally killed himself with too much alcohol and drugs.
Watching this documentary sparked many thoughts on the dangers of fame and riches at an early age in life. Farley, like Elvis Presley did everything to excess, food, booze and hard drugs. Factor in always having the money to acquire your poisons when you've got addiction problems is not a good combination. Farley checked himself into rehab almost two dozen times, but his personal demons, whatever they may have been got the better of him, too sad for his loved ones and for the world of comedy.
