One for the Money Reviews

An avalanche of grating big-hair-and-bad-accent New Joisey caricatures.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

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

Full Review | Original Score: 1.5/5

The movie has the by-the-numbers efficiency of a decent TV series, and about as much flavor.

Full Review | Original Score: 2/4

There have been notable exceptions, but Heigl tends to imbue her characters with an off-putting mix of insecurity and abrasiveness. This film is a prime example.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/5

I guess I can't call the movie sexist as it was largely produced, directed and written by women. So I'll settle for calling it dull, corny and amateurish instead.

There is action of a sort -- a car blows up, shots are fired -- and what might pass for witty, sexy banter to someone who once overheard a conversation about an episode of Moonlighting.

Imagine an Elmore Leonard movie scripted by a bad Nora Ephron imitator, and you'll have an idea of how dead-in-the-Jersey-water it is.

Full Review | Original Score: D

Punitively dull.

Everything in One for the Money rings cringingly false.

Full Review | Original Score: 0/4

Tedious and tonally inept.

Janet Evanovich's best-selling Stephanie Plum series deserved better than this woefully executed, stillborn attempt at a franchise.

Full Review

Heigl, sporting tousled brunette locks, gives a busy, unconvincing performance.

Full Review

One for the Money is tepidly glib throughout. Even violent murders are followed by wisecracks or another prurient opportunity to ogle Heigl's behind and cleavage.

Full Review | Original Score: 1/4

To compare this mess to a sitcom would be an insult to sitcoms.
