    As formula films go, The Bounty Hunter is more enjoyable than most, even if it packs in as many cliches as any.

    In The Bounty Hunter, the couple that foils a bunch of tiresome grade-C thriller goons together stays together. Whether or not that's a recipe for love, it's certainly not a formula for romantic-comedy magic.

    Why, oh, why, was this movie necessary?

    Don't understand the hate for this film. I appreciate the actors and the characters they play. It's funny, romantic, bit of action here and there and simply ticks all the boxes of a romantic comedy. Recommended to couples for date nights. I would gladly watch this again and again.… Expand

    While the film does not really have anything particularly good about it, it does not have anything particularly bad about it either. Going into the film with the expectation to laugh and be entertained a lot will definitely produce a disappointment. There is, really, barely anything that is funny about the film at all, so that is a let-down. The screenplay is rather messy, with really boring dialogue and a rather confusing and unnecessary mixture of different characters and side-stories that come into it. The acting was.. well, what you'd expect of Aniston and Butler - not very much. Nevertheless, I cannot give this film a straight-out negative grade, just because of the fact that the film did not leave such a strong (or negative) impression on me. Actually, it did not leave any impression on me what-so-ever. It's one of those films that one can watch if you're bored one afternoon and it's on TV. You won't like it, but you won't hate it either.… Expand

    Oh my god, what is this? "The Bounty Hunter" isn't even a rom-com movie with guy catches girl and girl catches guy thing. It's a movie that is filled with idiotic dialogue and stupid-ass acting. A true movie goer will know what I mean.… Expand
