The Good, the Bad and the Chase:

• Both are great comedic actresses but sadly Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara do not have the chemistry to pull this buddy adventure off.

• The jokes are lazy and repetitive (menstruation, Witherspoon's height, Vergara's accent). They can barely coax any laughter out of the audience and they do not get better with repetition.

• The writers can be blamed for the lazy writing that does not work for a female-centric movie. But Witherspoon and Vergara can also be blamed for agreeing to produce a comedy movie with an unfunny script.

Trivia:

• The North American release date of the film is exactly 28 years after the release of the 1987 film of the same name.
