'One for the Money' starring Katherine Heigel and Jason Mara - trailer review

One for the Money Directed by: Julie Anne Robinson Starring: Katherine Heigel, Jason Mara, Daniel Sunjata and Debbie Reynolds Rating: PG - 13 Release Date: January 27, 2012

TRAILER SCORE: 7/10

Thoughts by TSR: I used to work at a bookstore after college and became familiar with Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series. She's an out of work Jersey girl who becomes a bounty hunter to pay the bills. She's not traditional, but she's tough and tenacious. Most of the trailer looks pretty good, it's got good actors (and Heigel) and seems to be fun and sexy like the books. But I'm really over Heigel, her last few films have looked totally offensive, she plays women who are ballbusters until they learn the love of a manly man and realize not to be so take charge. I'm thinking The Ugly Truth and The Killers here. However, I'll try to put our bad blood behind me and think of her as the Heigel from Grey's Anatomy who played an interesting, complex character who didn't make me want to yank out my ovaries.
