15 Most Critically Hated Films From 2015

By Jack Pooley /

8. Hot Pursuit

Rotten Tomatoes Score: 7% (3.1/10) Why Critics Hated It: An aggressively unfunny buddy movie starring two talented actresses who are rendered temporarily unlikable, Hot Pursuit might've been more effective as an R-rated raunch-fest, but at the PG-13 level, it feels ridiculously tame and dull. Yes, Reese Witherspoon is a straight-laced southerner and Sofia Vergara is a gorgeous, sassy Colombian: they disagree and shout at each other a lot and chaos ensues, but they eventually become friends. You've seen this plot dozens of times before, and this certainly isn't one of the more spirited or lively attempts to make it fun or interesting. It's bottom of the barrel cinema, going back to the well repeatedly for a variation on the same, simple gag. At least it's mercifully short, but still not short enough.
