   Enjoyed One for the Money. One of the better romantic comedies I've seen in some time, and my husband enjoyed it too. I don't understand the vituperation and bad reviews from critics. We see 1 or 2 movies a week & this was entertaining & good fun. Should be rated accordingly.… Expand

   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. Utterly forgettable. What else do you expect when you base a movie off of a Janet Evanovich movie? She cranks out books as quickly as the publisher can crank out checks. Who else but Hollywood would think of making that trash into a movie? But they did. They realized there was a market to sell to: the people who have never read a classic novel in their life. The first thing you will notice about this movie is Katherine Heigl’s New Jersey accent. Let me rephrase. He attempt at a New Jersey accent. Heigl’s voice is so distracting from the very start that it was difficult to ever get into the grove of the story. The story, by the way, doesn’t start until you are about half an hour in. This movie has so much exposition that I recommend a good nap after the trailers finish (seriously, you get me all excited with the Hunger Games trailer and follow it up this this?). When the story finally gets going, there is potential. All that potential, however, is utterly wasted. Characters are added and forgotten so many times that I can’t help but wonder if it would be better to simply cut all the extras and other actors. That way Heigl could run around with a gun for two hours, trying to uncover a mystery that doesn’t make sense and never will. Wait…that was the storyline. I’m going to give a criticism here that gives away a little. If you want to watch this awful movie, skip to the next paragraph. There is on scene where Heigl runs into a cop’s office and gives a great speech about how she caused someone’s death and how the police need to protect a couple other people. Literally ten minutes later she causes another death…then proceeded to not care and even laugh immediately afterwards. Not only are the characters expendable in this movie, they have no set charactersitics. It goes without saying that you shouldn’t see this movie. In fact, you should do whatever is in your power to make sure another Janet Evanovich movie is never made again. This movie is a waste of time and money. It is yet another example—alongside many other movies this year—I’m looking at you Underworld—that are cutting corners to sell to a market and make a quick buck.… Expand
