Review of One for the Money (2012) by Sesostris — 28 Jan 2012

Angels:

I love movies, and I liked this movie. It is a romantic comedy, and the most important thing is whether the leading man and leading lady work; y'know, the chemistry thing. Well they work o.k. Katherine Heigl is beautiful, and charming, and this role is a little grittier than some of her previous work. And honestly, she looks soooo much better with her dark hair. She looks so more real and natural then when she is blonde. (Sorry, just a prejudice of mine-nothing wrong with real blondes, just fake ones.).

The leading man did not match pretty Kate in charm, and attractiveness (a not so stunning young Mel Gibson lookalike) but their relationship was at least plausible. I liked the realism, and grittiness of the plot; unusually hard-nosed for a romantic comedy, and I liked the blue collar east coast feel. I only give this a 7 (though sweet Kate gets a 10) because the production values were frugal, and the dialog was not as sharp and witty as the plot required. Still, my sweetheart and I had an enjoyable evening...watching the movie.
