The Bounty Hunter (I) (2010)

Not As Good As I'd Hoped
10 February 2015
Jennifer Aniston movie career is very hit and miss to say the least, for every "Horrible Bosses" or "We're The Millers" there is a "The Switch" or "Management".

Plot In A Paragraph: Reporter Nicole Hurley (Jennifer Aniston) skips bail to follow a hot lead. Her ex husband Milo Boyd (Gerrard Butler) is given the dream job of chasing down his ex wife.

Sadly this is the latter, ridiculously predictable, with two leads who have little chemistry (despite rumours of an alleged off screen romance) and few jokes, this is not the fun romp I was expecting. Butler does OK, but the stars of the show are Jason Sudeikis (as a sleazy co worker of Aniston) and Christine Baranski (as Aniston's mother Kitty) who steal every scene they are in, and quite frankly the movie is poorer when they are not on screen.

I'll admit from the off, that I am bias when it comes to Aniston. I love her. With her gorgeous girl next door looks, I adore her, and will usually give anything she is in a chance. she remains one of the most talented and beautiful women in movies, and her ladylike sexiness is in rare supply. Any movie becomes promising just by having her name in it's cast. But she needs to pick her projects better than this.
