One for the Money

     Recently fired and divorced Stephanie Plum (Katherine Heigl) gets desperate and takes a job as a recover agent. The big ticket happens to be an old flame from high school which she is still out to get back for his previous misdeeds. As their chemistry heats up, so does the story involving her ex who looks like he’s been set up.


     As much as this movie looked like a chick flick, and it kind of was, there was no romance or steamy anything. It was modern day hard-boiled detective fictions meet the chick lit leading lady. This is a 16 part book series by Janet Evanovich. I'm hoping there is a second one. I don't think there would ever be 16 movies, but there could be a couple more. It was a fun movie and I liked Heigl in this. Not so much with the brown hair, but that was most likely for the character. She had all these great lines. The more I think about it, the naration was definitely hard-boiled fiction. There just aren't enough hard-boiled fiction movies out there. This was one a of a kind, fun and enjoyable. I think this movie is more for the female persuasion.
