Starring: Katherine Heigl, Jason O'Mara, Daniel Sunjata, John Leguizamo, Sherri Shepherd, and Debbie Reynolds
Here We Go: At first I was thinking Katherine Heigl just highjacked the plot from The Bounty Hunter, but this movie was a pleasant surprise - even though it wasn't drop down hysterical. Nothing terribly original in the story, but Heigl's down-and-out character is likable and entertaining. The ladies will probably be wondering throughout whether she will end up with Jason O'Mara or Daniel Sunjata, but I won't ruin that one for you. It was a little odd that Sunjata kept getting mystery calls to run away after helping Heigl. At first I thought this was on purpose and that the mystery calls would go somewhere but, alas, it was just a way to get him out of the scene. The film's main protagonist, Gavin-Keith Umeh, is a murderous rapist that says maybe 15 words through the whole movie. Could have used some more development on him but this was a comedy aside from being the main bad guy, he really didn't have a role.
Bottom Line: Probably not worth spending any money on (hence its bombing at the box office) but worth renting for 90 minutes of entertainment.
