One for the Money (2012)


Katheirne Heigl haters need not read on. I don't understand where the Heigl hate came from but WHATEVER! I have yet to see a Katherine Heigl movie I don't like. One for the Money is no exception. It certainly doesn't win any awards for creativity, ingenuity, or well, anything. It's simply entertaining. It feels nostalgic; not that it has any reference to past eras, it's just one of those feelgood, fun movies you can watch multiple times.

Katherine Heigl plays Stephanie Plum, an unemployed, divorced, 30 something. She's desperate to find work, especially with her family bluntly announcing their expectations and disappointment of her. She asks her cousin Vinny, yes her cousin Vinny, for a job as a bail bondsman.

Heigl as a Jersey girl doesn't captivate you, but she still does a decent job. Her accent is mild and slips out sometimes but it's acceptable.

This movie is cute, funny, and has lovable characters. Debbie Reynolds as Grandmother Mazur is perfectly quirky, Ranger is subtly humorous, and Sherri Shepherd as Lula is charming.

I've already watched this one four times!

Scene spotlight: Stephanie Plum interviewing John Cho.
