Merolliv I really wanted to like this movie. I feel terribly cynical trashing it, and that's why I'm giving it a middling 5. Actually, I'm giving it a 5 because there were some superb performances.
HomeyTao For having a relatively low budget, the film's style and overall art direction are immensely impressive.
Rio Hayward All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.
Guillelmina The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.
acreativeforce I have enjoyed Heigl's performances in other movies and had high expectations when I saw her on the cast list. Unfortunately, she seemed like one of the least committed and present actors in this movie. Sure, the movie is predictable and silly, but regardless, if an actor decides to do a project, they should commit 100% to it. Jason O'Mara and Daniel Sunjata's performances made me forget how silly this movie is. Heigl's performance only highlighted it. Disappointing. I feel like she barely tried. Perhaps she was simply miscast. Who's to know, but it just did not work for me. Sherri Shephard was funny and memorable.
inspectors71 Maybe it's because I find Katherine Heigl a woman so radiantly lovely I can't get overly concerned about her reputation for being a Satanic wart-hog diva. I can't understand why the hostility toward One for the Money, wherein Heigl is newbie skip tracer Stephanie Plum.I can't comprehend why a movie that has some decent soul, a good amount of humor, and captures the essence of Janet Evanovich's heroine and cast of characters is so reviled.I can tell you that I've read a few of Evanovich's Plum books, and I didn't have trouble blending what I saw in my mind's eye with the film-maker's vision. Since I am, at heart, a pig, I also can imagine Heigl cuffed to her shower curtain rod and it's an R-rated movie.Sudsy!
Terryfan When I first sit down to watch One For The Money I didn't expect it to be a masterpiece or a classic but It was a funny film.Through there were some things that rub me the wrong way about it and I understand the film is based off a book but I never read the book so I wouldn't know about the characters.Katherine Heigl who plays Stephanie Plum the main protagonist she does make the character believable with her performance she makes the character work Joe Morelli played by Jason O'Mara he does what he can for the film as he plays Stephanie's ex boyfriend but when they are on screen together they make quite the couple and some of the encounters are really funny.The story of the movie does hold your interest and there are plot twist that you wouldn't expect The other characters some are just more or less not as interesting and could have been better off with out.So yes One for the money is actually a interesting movie and pretty funny and be good for a movie nightI give One for the Money an 7 out of 10
Anjaneai Srivastava Yes, it is not 5.2 at all. (What it gets as of 22/Dec/13)The story basically revolves around a 'Bounty-Hunter' trying to get in an FDA to help herself get some money in her account after she lost her job of being a lingerie sale person at Macy's (One store I love a lot)!!I got to say I admire Katherine Heigl for this role and her body ;) ..I personally Loved the character of Sherri Shepherd (Lula)and Debbie Reynolds(her Grand Ma).She has done a decent job to what is actually good story. Yes, this might not be one of those epic, unforgettable movie, but yes, would be worth of your time.
