Product Description:
A pirate shanghais a teen-ager who missed the plane to join his girlfriend on an island. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 01/17/2006 Starring: John Cusack Ben Stiller Run time: 93 minutes Rating: Pg13 Director: Steven Lisberger

Amazon.com:
John Cusack displays his usual charm in this adventure film from early in his career. Prep-school student Dan Bartlett (Cusack) flunks his chemistry final and has to forgo a Caribbean vacation with his wealthy girlfriend Laurie and her family. When the professor decides to be lenient and lets him pass, Dan sets off after Laurie--but finds himself one step behind her as he's sidetracked, shanghaied, and almost shipwrecked. Meanwhile, the boat that Laurie is on gets hijacked, just as Dan finally catches up. Hot Pursuit won't be remembered as one of Cusack's best films, but it's enjoyable and has beautiful shots of the Caribbean. Robert Loggia gives a rambunctious performance as an old sea dog and Ben Stiller makes his film debut as a sleazy cabin boy. --Bret Fetzer

- GREAT loved it.
This is a great movie. I love him. John Cusack is a remarkable actor. He is what attracks me to the films.

Rating:

- Lively entertainment for those who enjoy this genre:
This is an enjoyable film although Cusack has played better roles. The plot is also a bit weak and redundant. He keeps plugging away and uses a lot of personal acting skill to make the movie lively and exciting. Yet we know what is going to happen from the git-go. I rate this 3 1/2***
but Amazon doesn't have a split schedule. The movie does not match up to the fun and liveliness in classics like "Private School," "Private Lessons" or Day Off(Ferris Buehler). Yet it is enjoyable entertainment especially on a summer afternoon or at a party. The more in the crowd who watch it, the more fun it will be. Yet compared with "Hollywood Brats"
this is eons ahead. Enjoy yourself. The price is cheap & the VHS shows
very well. The case cover says a lot if you look closely at Cusack in the girl's glasses. She isn't that hot.

- Blew away my expectations! Lots of laughs!
Wow. Blown away! Expectations can make a difference in your viewing pleasures. I was anticipating a mediocre movie with the always fantastic John Cusack and a few laughs. I laughed the whole way through!

It really had some wonderfully funny scenes. One after another, it was consistently funny, which is the failure of many comedies. Consistency. No hit and miss here. On the mark. This movie is right up there with Better Off Dead, The Sure Thing, and Say Anything as one of the great teen movies of the eighties.

The actress playing his girlfriend was beautiful, sweet, but totally sexy in a real way. She did a lot with the very little she was given. All the actors were great. Look to catch a creepy and much younger Ben Stiller in an early role.

John Cusack is really the reason to see the movie. He's perfect to play "Mr. Determined". Hot Pursuit is definitely a hidden 80's treasure. ... Read More

- A Zany Adventure
This is another one of those romantic comedies about people vacating at a tropical island resort. John Cusack was so young when this movie was made. It has been almost twenty years since I watched this. John Cusack misses a plane flight and ends up having to search for his girlfriend in the Caribbean islands, and everything under the sun almost prevents him from finding her. Cusack's girlfriend gets kidnapped by modern-day pirates, and he has to save her from the pirates. I never could resist a damsel in distress, or a beautiful island setting.
