If Reese Witherspoon showed she can go raw and unglamorous in the drama "Wild," in her new comedy, the actress dons sensible shoes and big underwear to play the uptight cop to Sofia Vergara's voluptuous widow in teetering heels.
"Hot Pursuit," opening Friday in U.S. and Canadian theaters, is a buddy comedy by women, about women, and mostly for women, and it started when Witherspoon - wearing her producer's hat - saw the potential of a comic pairing with Vergara.
While some critics have praised the Witherspoon-Vergara combination, most have panned the film and its gags, calling it a pale imitation of the successful female buddy comedy "The Heat."
Nevertheless, the $35 million film from New Line, MGM and Witherspoon's company Pacific Standard could benefit from interest from female moviegoers and earn $18 million in its opening weekend.??
