Congratulations! As of this very moment, you are the one, the only, the sole, lonesome reviewer on Rotton Tomatoes who liked this movie. So far, good reviews: one (you). Bad reviews: twenty six.

Actually, the hair was a wig. It did look really nice though. Like the reviewer, I watched this movie with very lowered expectations, therefore when it was (slightly) better than I expected I was surprised. I love the books and feel that this movie could have been so much better with just a little better direction, a much improved score and better casting. I thought Hiegl wasn't the right person for the role, but she was better cast than everyone else in the movie. It is a shame because this could have been the start of a nice little franchise, instead it is probably one and done.

I was worried when I saw all the bad reviews, but I actually really enjoyed the movie. It makes me wonder if any of the reviewers have even read the books. I thought it was true to the zany, flippant, nature of the series, and I liked who they picked for the supporting roles. Could Heigel have done a better accent, sure, but this was the most charming I've seen her in a movie yet, and I thought overall she did a good job of portraying Plum. I still wish they'd made it 10 years ago, though, when Sandra Bullock could've knocked it out of the park.

"One for the Money" was so much better than what the other critics wrote about it. As an avid fan of Janet Evanovich's books about Stephanie Plum and her adventures as a second-rate bounty hunter, I feared the movie would not stand up to expectations. Heigl did not disappoint, surprisingly. It was wonderful!

Good for you for having your own opinion! It is way too easy to trash a Katherine Heigl movie, especially one based on such a hugely popular book series. I was at almost a full matinee showing, and judging by the audience, people were having a good time. I was entertained, a movie doesn't have to be award worthy to be worth watching. I hope this movie makes some money- I would watch a sequel!

Much like the RottenTomatoes.com score, your credibility as a movie reviewer is hovering right around 3%.

Yeah Andy, because it is always smarter to go along with the majority like a lamb being led to the slaughter than to actually think for yourself and express your own opionion no matter how unpopular it might be.

Sadly, I agree that "the one and done" comment will be the fate of what could have been a promising franchise. I've been tracking the prospects of a Stephanie Plum film since the first of this hilarious books by a smart author, even if the series is beginning to look a lot like a formula running on its past. JE signed a bad deal at the outset and problems with who owned the film rights led to this much delayed release. Too bad as most of us fans could have flooded the theaters years back if Sandra Bullock was cast as Stephanie. It's a shame and I only hope there's a rewind somewhere in the future. Fingers crossed.

Katherine Heigl is unbelievably gorgeous & curvy in this movie. It was a horrible flick, but I enjoyed kicking back and watching her on the screen. If it had been Jennifer Aniston or some other hack starring in it, I would have walked out.

I agree Bobby C.
