Unemployed and newly-divorced Stephanie Plum lands a job at her cousin's bail-bond business, where her first assignment puts her on the trail of a wanted local cop from her romantic past.
Heigl’s fine and there’s some zingy dialogue, but the violence jars with the comedy and, despite being written and directed by women, it still comes off as needlessly sexist.
A punishingly dim collision of high concept and low standards.
As bland and flavourless as movies come. Please God, no Two For The Show!
A horribly wasted opportunity.
Add Debbie Reynolds chewing the scenery as kooky grandma Mazur, TV movie production values, and a script that ditches too many gags in favour of too much plot, and you have one for the curious Evanovich fan only.
