Alien at the Movies

It's "Thelma & Louise" meets "The Odd Couple" on a road trip when an inexperienced by-the-book uptight cop (Reese Witherspoon) must get her witness (Sophia Vergara) to Dallas safely with crooked cops and hired gunman giving chase. Hilarious hijinks ensue as these two reluctant traveling companions are constantly at odds with each other. The movie follows a cookie cutter formula but Witherspoon & Vergara keep it fresh with their crazy antics. At times, it was hard to follow conversations with Vergara's thick accent against Witherspoon's Southern drawl. Understanding Spanish may be a plus during certain un-subtitled portions. Funny outtakes play during the credits.

Alien gives it 3 "all jacked up on baking powder" stars out of 4.
