One for the Money

The film miscasts Heigl and doesn't do much good for Debbie Reynolds as Grandma, either.

As bland and flavourless as movies come. Please God, no Two For The Show!

If the filmmakers can't be bothered to believe in the real-world implications of its premise, then why ever should we?

Someday to be used in film schools as a textbook example of how not to adapt a best-selling novel for the screen, One for the Money is mis-cast, mis-scripted, and mis-directed in every category.

An ungainly mix of flat-footed gumshoeing and strained attempts at hilarity, all delivered with an unconvincing Joizy vibe.

You could go nuts with the double entendres associated with One for the Money, beginning, of course, with the film's title.

While he doesn't come close to saving the film, John Leguizamo at least redeems himself in an otherwise sparkless film.

In all honesty, this film did not have my attention. I was bored after 10 minutes and I really didn't care what was happening.

Think of her as Elle Woods from Legally Blonde minus the charm, intelligence and work ethic.

One doesn't need to have any familiarity with the Stephanie Plum novel series to immediately hear and see what an ill fit Katherine Heigl is for the role.
