One For the Money (2012)

Jive-less-turkey
Every moment of this film felt like, what I assume, being waterboarded must feel like. Katherine Heigl, also serving as producer, slips in and out of a Jersey accent (mostly out), and embarrasses herself to no end. The rest of the misguided, but very talented, cast doesn't fare too well either. The premise, based on a novel by Janet Evanovich, is absolutely stupid, and the dialogue drags the film into unbearably silly places. I really don't feel like a film that centers around a female bounty hunter, M.M.A. fighters, and hookers, should have been anywhere near this bad. Julie Anne Robinson, you should be ashamed. ASHAMED!
