New Jersey native Stephanie Plum (Katherine Heigl) has plenty of attitude, even if she is broke after six months of unemployment. Desperate for money, Stephanie convinces her cousin to give her a job as a recovery agent with his bail-bond company. What she lacks in experience she makes up for in moxie, and she intends to bring in her cousin's biggest bail-jumper: Joe Morelli (Jason O'Mara), a former vice cop and murder suspect who broke Stephanie's heart when she was in high school.

What to Know

Critics Consensus

Dull and unfunny, One For the Money wastes Katherine Heigl's talents on a stunningly generic comic thriller.

Roger Moore Tribune News Service Didn't Jennifer Aniston already do a bounty hunter movie? Talk about sloppy seconds. Rated: 1/4 Mar 23, 2012 Full Review London Evening Standard The film miscasts Heigl and doesn't do much good for Debbie Reynolds as Grandma, either. Rated: 1/5 Feb 24, 2012 Full Review Dan Stewart Little White Lies As bland and flavourless as movies come. Please God, no Two For The Show! Rated: 1/5 Feb 23, 2012 Full Review Richard Propes TheIndependentCritic.com While he doesn't come close to saving the film, John Leguizamo at least redeems himself in an otherwise sparkless film. Rated: 1.0/4.0 Sep 18, 2020 Full Review Katie Hogan She Likes Movies 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. Rated: 1/5 Dec 2, 2019 Full Review Yasmin Shehab Cairo360 Think of her as Elle Woods from Legally Blonde minus the charm, intelligence and work ethic. Rated: 1.5/5 Sep 28, 2017 Full Review Read all reviews

Matteo G Very funny and entertaining...she is very good in doing the naive girl Rated 4 out of 5 stars 10/06/24 Full Review Nelson B I didn't hate the movie but that might have been due to my having read all the books it was (very) loosely based on. Fans of Stephanie Plum were probably ready for anything. Evidently there weren't enough of us. I'm not sorry I bought the DVD but I'm sure not many people would agree. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/25/24 Full Review Dinos K I am so tired of Katherine Heigl's rom-coms. Her career has been over for years now but she still makes movies that no one likes Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/06/24 Full Review Truman M I have seen some bad movies in my life, but that may be the worst. I think the director got the assignment confused, it's not a spoof right? Rated 1 out of 5 stars 02/05/24 Full Review Christine D Fun flick! Love Katherine Heigle as Stephanie Plum. Wish there were more from the Janet Evanovich series. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 09/16/23 Full Review R H Katherine Heigl does a great job. The writing coils have been a bit better, but it's a fun movie. Debbie Reynolds is perfect. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 08/23/23 Full Review Read all reviews
