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.

Critics Consensus

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

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.

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

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?

Fun flick! Love Katherine Heigle as Stephanie Plum. Wish there were more from the Janet Evanovich series.

Katherine Heigl does a great job. The writing coils have been a bit better, but it's a fun movie. Debbie Reynolds is perfect.

The absolute most awful terrible awful casting I have ever seen in a movie did they even read the book the film was based on? Did they read the descriptions of the characters? Horrible terrible film I couldn't watch more than five minutes after seeing every single character miscast.

The film miscasts Heigl and doesn't do much good for Debbie Reynolds as Grandma, either.

As bland and flavourless as movies come. Please God, no Two For The Show!

If the filmmakers can't be bothered to believe in the real-world implications of its premise, then why ever should we?

While he doesn't come close to saving the film, John Leguizamo at least redeems himself in an otherwise sparkless film.

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.

Think of her as Elle Woods from Legally Blonde minus the charm, intelligence and work ethic.
