Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: POOR (cg) "The convoluted plot has Stephanie wandering from one lead and suspect to the next, each one duller than the last. There are too many cliché settings... too many lines like 'You're out of your league!'... it will have you groaning between yawns." (Read the full review...) 412 words, 02/03/12 Peter Travers, Rolling Stone: POOR (cg) "Everything in 'One for the Money' rings cringingly false... [It's] so godawful there'll never be another Plum movie to rectify this mess. [Novelist Janet] Evanovich deserved better." (Read the full review...) 230 words, 01/27/12
A.O. Scott, New York Times: POOR "...so weary and uninspired that it feels more like an exhausted end than an energetic beginning.... [features] lackadaisical pacing, by-the-numbers performances, irritating music and drab visual texture..." (Read the full review...) 486 words, 01/28/12 Elizabeth Weitzman, New York Daily News: POOR (cg) "The three writers [Stacy Sherman, Karen Ray, Liz Brixius] and director Julie Anne Robinson don't offer a single reason why they'd want to bring this popular series to the screen." (Read the full review...) 518 words, 01/28/12 Sheri Linden, Los Angeles Times: POOR "...criminally uninspired... an ungainly mix of flat-footed gumshoeing and strained attempts at hilarity, all delivered with an unconvincing Joizy vibe." (Read the full review...) 530 words, 01/30/12 Roger Moore, Chicago Tribune: POOR (cg) "Bad screenplay structure, unsnappy 'snappy' dialogue, bland characters blandly played, flat, tedious direction." (Read the full review...) 533 words, 01/28/12 Rafer Guzman, New York Newsday: WEAK (cg) "[Heigl's] becoming the talented actress who can't find a decent movie.... She looks as lifeless as her newly dyed hair, and her Joisey accent could use some coachin'. Her search for the right one continues." (Read the full review...) 257 words, 01/28/12 Bilge Ebiri, New York Magazine: POOR "Heigl sleepwalks through her scenes, and there's something curiously willful about her indifference to what's going on.... it feels slipshod and disjointed, almost as if scenes have been placed out of order." (Read the full review...) 548 words, 01/30/12 Peter Howell, Toronto Star: POOR (cg) "Director Julie Ann Robinson can't seem to figure out what kind of movie she's making, and neither can the screenwriting committee that spewed out this series of dull line readings, forced drama and bad farce. To compare this mess to a sitcom would be an insult to sitcoms." (Read the full review...) 257 words, 01/27/12 Melissa Anderson, Village Voice/LA Weekly: POOR "...punitively dull..." (Read the full review...) 172 words, 02/01/12 Liam Lacey, Toronto Globe & Mail: POOR (cg) "Back-and-forth cat-and-mouse games are occasionally peppered with contrived sexual naughtiness, including a scene when he handcuffs her, naked, in her shower. Sound fun? Not really. Listlessly directed by Julie Anne Robinson... tepidly glib throughout." (Read the full review...) 584 words, 01/27/12 Susan G. Cole, Toronto Now: WEAK (cg) "The flick looks decent, but except for Debbie Reynolds's amusing turn as Plum's grandmother, there's zero wit here. I'm all for watching women kick ass in the bounty-hunting business. But do I have to turn off my brain while I'm doing it?" (Read the full review...) 220 words, 01/26/12
Mark Feeney, Boston Globe: MODERATE (cg) "...isn't terrible. Terrible might have been more interesting.... the movie has the by-the-numbers efficiency of a decent TV series, and about as much flavor." (Read the full review...) 473 words, 01/28/12 Stephen Whitty, New Jersey Star-Ledger: POOR (cg) "...dully unbelievable and generally pretty dreadful." (Read the full review...) 563 words, 01/28/12
Melissa Anderson, Village Voice/LA Weekly: POOR "...punitively dull..." (Read the full review...) 172 words, 02/01/12 Mack Rawden, Cinema Blend: POOR (cg) "Read the book, or better yet, watch 'Midnight Run.' " (Read the full review...) 618 words, 01/30/12 Peter Keough, Boston Phoenix: MODERATE (cg) " 'We're ancient history like the pyramids, baby!'... the dialogue isn't exactly Chandler-esque, though the stereotypes are hardboiled." (Read the full review...) 153 words, 02/02/12 Sam Adams, AV Club: GOOD (NOT GREAT) (cg) "...the reaction shots arrive with bludgeoning regularity, and the soundtrack's burbling organ serves as an incessant reminder not to take anything seriously. Fortunately, there's no danger of that." (Read the full review...) 335 words, 01/27/12 Alison Willmore, Movieline: POOR (cg) "Heigl and [Jason] O'Mara snipe at each other with the sizzling chemistry of two people who can't wait to whip out their BlackBerries and check their email as soon as a take is over." (Read the full review...) 840 words, 01/27/12 R. Kurt Osenlund, Slant: POOR (cg) "This isn't girl-power filmmaking, this is cutesy contentment, a production team of gals enforcing their own stereotypes by willfully succumbing to demographic views of sexist Hollywood honchos." (Read the full review...) 735 words, 01/27/12 Susan G. Cole, Toronto Now: WEAK (cg) "The flick looks decent, but except for Debbie Reynolds's amusing turn as Plum's grandmother, there's zero wit here.

Andrew Barker, Daily Variety: POOR "Tedious and tonally inept... Shrill, unfocused and irregularly attempting a deep New Jersey accent that seems destined for lasting infamy, [Heigl] plays heroine Stephanie with an almost standoffish lack of conviction." (Read the full review...) 542 words, 01/27/12 Frank Scheck, Hollywood Reporter: POOR "Starring a painfully awkward Katherine Heigl, 'One for the Money' mostly resembles a failed television pilot... Although the film's official running time is listed as 106 minutes, it actually seemed closer to 90. Not that anyone's going to be complaining." (Read the full review...) 389 words, 01/27/12 Sheri Linden, Los Angeles Times: POOR "...criminally uninspired... an ungainly mix of flat-footed gumshoeing and strained attempts at hilarity, all delivered with an unconvincing Joizy vibe."
