One for the Money

#1 Post by Beate » Wed Feb 29, 2012 2:03 pm

I was considering seeing this as I like the Stephanie Plum novels but I have just changed my mind. :bwl:

I saw this on the weekend, and actually enjoyed it. But in a completely mindless way. If you're the kind of person who likes to analyse bits of the script/etc then you might not enjoy it.

There were a few laughs in this, could have been more, but not having expected any suspense whatsover (had no idea there were books of this) it was good to watch. So if you go in with low expectations, it might be a better watch.

Although i had been having a 'random fun' day and catching up with my sister so maybe the company made the experience better.

7/10

Yeah, well, I've seen it. Not brilliant by any stretch of the imagination. 4/10 from me.

Such a shame, the books are lovely, but Katherine Heigl couldn't possibly be Stephanie Plum!
