Tagline: She’s looking for a few not-so-good men.
When will Hollywood learn? As recently as 2010, we were treated to The Bounty Hunter, in which Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler redefined the parameters for lack of onscreen chemistry between leads. (If you don’t believe us, we’d suggest you find out for yourselves, but that would just be cruel.) And speaking of cruel, here we go again.
In One for the Money, Katherine Heigl plays Stephanie Plum, an unemployed lingerie buyer who somehow manages to convince her bail bondsman cousin, Vinnie (Patrick Fischler), to let her try out as a bounty hunter. What’s her first assignment? Only to track down a former cop, Joe Morelli (Jason O’Mara), who’s on the run for murder and – say it ain’t so! – is the very same man who once broke her heart.
As with the new Underworld movie last week, it doesn’t appear as if Heigl’s magnum opus has been screened for the critics. Will it end up being as “funny” as The Bounty Hunter or could it be the second coming of Annie Hall? To find out for sure, it’s one for your money.
