This movie is about as average as you can get. The story itself isn't really important, pretty average for a light crime flick, but it's not really in focus. It's mostly about the characters, and I'll grant the movie this, they are for the most part decently played and engaging enough.The main character who carries us through the flick has her charms, and I did quite like the voiceover, that tries to be hard boiled but is clearly inexperienced about it. The main guy, Morelli, played by Jason O'Mara, is nowhere near as charming as the movie seems to think, and some of his attempts at flirting wih our lead are not much more than uncomfortable. I won't go into it too much, but there was a bit of a troubling undercurrent of the movie of the minority characters either being jokes or bastards, in a way that came off uncomfortably to me. Nothing about this movie seemed malignant (hell too much flavor either way might disturb it's made-for-tv-ness), but it's not impressing on many nuance fronts.All in all, acceptable watch if you really have emptied out Netflix and the popcorn's already made, but otherwise not enough style or substance to be particularly memorable.

I try to watch Katherine Heigl's movies so that was my first reason and I love comedies . this is pretty funny movie , fully focused on Heigl , simple story , some mystery and nice looking settings .

I don't know i must be easily pleased or its my age 66, but the reviews are a bit off for this film, I must watch a different movie. I really enjoyed it, paid £2.49 through Amazon to watch it, and spent a great couple of hours just chilling out, and having fun watching it. Its a crime romp with Katherine Heigl and the yummy Jason O'Mara so there is eye candy for both male and female. The plot is explained so i wont go there, just all I can say is if you want something to watch, and you like comedy, romance and a bit of crime romp then you cant go wrong with this. Its fun I am not sure I would have paid to see in cinema but to watch it for the price I did, lets face it, what can you get really for 2.49 nowadays so its worth the money. Go on you know you want too.

When I first sit down to watch One For The Money I didn't expect it to be a masterpiece or a classic but It was a funny film.Through there were some things that rub me the wrong way about it and I understand the film is based off a book but I never read the book so I wouldn't know about the characters.Katherine Heigl who plays Stephanie Plum the main protagonist she does make the character believable with her performance she makes the character work Joe Morelli played by Jason O'Mara he does what he can for the film as he plays Stephanie's ex boyfriend but when they are on screen together they make quite the couple and some of the encounters are really funny.The story of the movie does hold your interest and there are plot twist that you wouldn't expect The other characters some are just more or less not as interesting and could have been better off with out.So yes One for the money is actually a interesting movie and pretty funny and be good for a movie nightI give One for the Money an 7 out of 10
