Review of One for the Money (2012) by Bob S — 20 Jul 2013
Janet Evanovich's successful novels are brought to the big screen in this film featuring Heigl as the lead character, Stephanie Plum. From the first moment, I never bought this depiction of the novice bounty hunter.
Heigl just seems overmatched when playing an action star (see my review of Killers). The story just seems to take illogical turns and the characters are very inconsistent. I did like the rapport between Heigl and her bounty, played by television star O'Mara.
Their relationship was a little too cute for me considering the unique situation they were in. This film ended up playing out like a slightly worse version of the Aniston/Butler movie, The Bounty Hunter, with the roles reversed, of course.
