The last time we saw Kristen Bell and Dax Shepard together on the big screen was for 2010.s lackluster .When in Rome.. Now, the real-life sweethearts team up for .Hit and Run. and I can tell you that this romantic car chase comedy is much better than their previous pairing.
The film draws you in right from the very beginning when Annie (Bell) and Charlie (Shepard) are canoodling on the bed. We get to meet the main characters in their most intimate moment. Charlie is trying to sooth his fiancée, Annie, because she is extremely nervous. She.s on her way to meeting her boss at a local college, Debby Kreeger, played by the scene stealing Kristin Chenoweth.
There are indeed many scene stealers in the movie. Among them is Tom Arnold as the bumbling U.S. Marshal Randy Anderson. He.s there to protect Charlie, who we learn, is within the witness protection program.

Randy Anderson is a strong advocate of the do-it-yourself (Diy) movement. For him, it's not the wave of the future. It's the present. In 1999, he forged a theater company, The Beggars Group, which is still thriving on the Lower East Side and, more recently, he penned and self-published a lively memoir, "On Making Off: Misadventures Off-Off-Broadway," detailing his funny and sometimes not-so-funny experiences as a 20-something actor in New York trying to make personal and professional inroads. "I was auditioning for about a year in New York and not getting—or even auditioning for—roles that were especially fulfilling," he recalls. "I was also spending a lot of time going from place to place, sneaking backstage, to meet the right people, who I believed would help land me jobs. I didn't land any jobs. Forming my own company gave me creative control over my career."He also started writing and co-writing plays.
