Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler star in The Bounty Hunter. Since only intelligent viewers read this blog you may be able to deduce that this movie is about a bounty hunter (Butler) who learns that he has to nab his ex-wife (Aniston), who also happens to be running from the law. And wait for it, romance springs up again…real original.
A romantic comedy that was neither romantic nor comedic this movie did have a bright spot in the performances of Christine Baranski (currently staring in the Good Wife) and Siobham Fallon Hogan (most famously recognized as the alien’s wife in Men in Black).
If only they played a greater role in the movie perhaps I would have enjoyed it. I mean I find everything funny. I am the target audience for everything from baby commercials to chick-flicks, I’ll laugh at anything. And I barely broke into a giggle. The bar was low and they didn’t clear it, is what I am trying to say here.
For two of the most attractive actors in Hollywood there was little to no on screen chemistry between these two. This just goes to show you that just because your hot, doesn’t mean you can start a fire…if you know what I am saying. Although, they did the best acting they could possibly do given the bland writing given to them.
Pale Thunderette recommends you only watch this movie if you are home from your summer vacation and you are delirious with sunburn. If you bought it, turn around right now and ask the store for your money back.
