One for the money

One for the Money.

This action rom-com staring Katherine Heigl is a poor man’s bounty hunter. The lead man (played by Jason O'Mara) is not right. (Did Gerald Butler turn this down?). There is no chemistry between them and it feels drawn out and fake.

What did I like about it? Katherine Heigl (who plays Stephanie Plum) has my hair and they talk about her long curly hair a lot in this film. (In my head I think I look like her but in real life that is probably wishful thinking!)

That should give you an idea of how bad the script is. There are some good character definition such as her family members (including the legendary Debbie Reynolds), but it never really leads anywhere and the storyline is so predictable, the script is very poor and Katherine is left trying to carry this film.

This film is confusing. There are at least three men in Stephanie’s life. The ex- boyfriend, Joe, a friend called Ranger (played by Daniel Sunjata – very nice indeed) and of course the geek, Morty Beyers. She could use her female prowess to get what she needs as a new bounty hunter which would be more entertaining than her coming across as clumpy. Don’t get me wrong, I loved Heigl in The Ugly truth, Killers and 27 dresses, but this just didn’t work. Most of the cast are not film actors but from the small screen and it shows.

Give this one a miss and hire out The Bounty Hunter with Rachel from friends instead!
