Only sat through this one because my wife is a huge fan of the books.

Based on reviews, I expected to be gouging my eyes out within the first 10 minutes (like I do w/ the Twilight flicks I've been forced to watch). I won't be watching it a 2nd time, and really thinking I'll suggest she sees any sequels with friends rather than her husband. That said, this wasn't nearly as awful as some of the reviews would have you believe. It's predictable, not sure how to balance the reality of the story with the desire to be lighthearted and fun. Maybe my tolerance is due to the fact that my wife has been watching Twilight movies on an endless loop lately, and this wasn't as bad as those films. But for what this was intended to be, I don't think it was the worst way to spend 90 minutes.… Expand

This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I enjoyed the 1st minute of the film, and there were 1 or 2 good jokes, ok, but most of them weren't discreet enough, they were just pushed in your face. After 3 min, the main thing starts, no exposition. But the problem is: the main thing is boring as hell. SHe just goes around, speaks with some people, then makes an annoying statement, and this repeats till the end. Ramirez's character or whatever was his name is just not needed. The same things repeat: she runs, almost gets killed, then kisses the ex. Wasn't Stephanie so annoying, this film would be much better. Go watch the something else.… Expand

She becomes a bails-person and soon pursues Joe Morelli, who is a former vice cop and who is wanted for murder, and who also dropped the relationship between him and Stephanie in their high school past.

Based on the novel by Janet Evanovich, One For The Money attempts to be a romantic comedy with action and for popcorn fare, well, director Julie Anne Robinson does fine. Katherine Heigl, Daniel Sunjata and Joe Morelli ar fun to watch.… Expand

the only thing good about this movie is the comedy it is gold silver. Based off the book by Janet Evanovich which got to say is an author who brings humor into plum she's got a little heroine into this character but a lot of stupidity whenthe only thing good about this movie is the comedy it is gold silver. Based off the book by Janet Evanovich which got to say is an author who brings humor into plum she's got a little heroine into this character but a lot of stupidity when plum trying to crack the case. To be honest the screenwriters are mixing too much awful formulas to make a thrilling mystery but they add humor look where this movie got itself into, apparently this
" team" of writers is actually women wow! that explains a lot. The Mystery is lacking in this " Plum" case and more of a comedy. The Ending to this movie yes it is a mystery after all but its disappointing to fans of
Evanovich and Heigl. Grade D… Expand
