One For The Money (2012) 7/10

Starring : Katherine Heigl, Jason O’Mara, Daniel Sunjata, John Leguizamo, Sherri Shepherd, Debbie Reynolds
Director : Julie Anne Robinson
Running Time : 88 mins

Desperate to find employment, out-of-work lingerie saleswoman Stephanie Plum (Heigl) takes a job as a bail bondsman in order to make ends meet. Her first assignment; locate and bring in ex-cop Joe Morelli (O’Mara), a man she once had a relationship with, but when she finally catches up with Morelli, she discovers there is more to his story than first meets the eye…

In spite of being written and directed by women, this movie really feels like it tries everything in the book to get Heigl out of her clothes. Not that there’s anything wrong with that; it actually kept the movie interesting and wasn’t gratuitous, and this predictable movie really did need something to make it stand out from the crowd. Still, it's a reasonable yarn and does have its fun moments.
