The Bounty Hunter (2010)
The Bounty Hunter is the reason some people don’t like romantic comedies. It stars two good-looking people (although Gerard Butler is in the midst of his grunge phase) to lure lots of people from their homes during opening weekend. Once seated in the movie theaters, it would be best for the audience to glaze over and focus on the eye candy rather than the plot.
I know that sounded a little harsh, and when compared to other movies each of the stars has made, The Bounty Hunter really isn’t that bad. It just isn’t great, and given the box office appeal both Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston had at the time, I think everyone expected a little more from their first and only Hollywood pairing. They play ex-spouses, one of which is a bounty hunter and the other is, well, hunted.
If you don’t mind sitting through a pretty silly romantic comedy with just as little humor as there is romance, go ahead and rent it. It’s not a movie you’ll walk out of, but you’ll probably shrug your shoulders at the end of it and sigh, “Oh well.”
