Maybe it's because I find Katherine Heigl a woman so radiantly lovely I can't get overly concerned about her reputation for being a Satanic wart-hog diva.
I can't understand why the hostility toward One for the Money, wherein Heigl is newbie skip tracer Stephanie Plum.
I can't comprehend why a movie that has some decent soul, a good amount of humor, and captures the essence of Janet Evanovich's heroine and cast of characters is so reviled.
I can tell you that I've read a few of Evanovich's Plum books, and I didn't have trouble blending what I saw in my mind's eye with the film-maker's vision.
Since I am, at heart, a pig, I also can imagine Heigl cuffed to her shower curtain rod and it's an R-rated movie.
Sudsy!

Why So Serious?
Ignore the Hiegl hater reviews
People just love to leave bad reviews for any Heigl movie because it's fashionable to hate her because she stood up to some Hollywood bullies.
Putting all that aside, this was not a bad movie. Great chemistry between the leads, good acting, good (albeit fairly recycled) storyline, good supporting actors.
I wouldn't watch it again but I did enjoy watching it.
Fun, romantic comedy action flick
I don't think I've seen many romantic-comedies that are also action movies. This was cute. I like Heigl as a Jersey working-class tough girl. She was totally believable and nothing like her other roles.
The dynamic between her and Morelli was fun with excellent chemistry. I kept wondering when they'd just start getting it on ...
I would think anyone could like this ... it's light and has something for everyone. Don't get me wrong; it's not high art or ground-breaking. But it's enjoyable and the resolution is satisfying.
I recommend this to stream when you just want to relax and take your mind off things. Totally worth 90 minutes of your life!
