One for the Money 2012

One for the Money (2012)     Thirty year old Stephanie goes to work at her cousin's bail-bond business, her first problem is she doesn't have a clue about this business.  Laid off 7 months ago from her job, car repossessed, evicted from her apartment and living with her parents.  She is very resourceful at getting at the truth in her search for court no-shows but her first case is a former high school boyfriend now accused of murder.  Why does it have to be him for her first case, couldn't it be anyone else?
     This has a good premise but doesn't follow through, it's weak and you begin to just not care.  Maybe this has the jinx of John Leguizamo, as soon as you see him, you know the movie will be bad?  Also, it's supposed to be a comedy but it's not funny either?   3* (This movie is OK)

91 min, Comedy directed by Julie Ann Robinson with Katherine Heigl, Jason O'Mara, Daniel Sunjata, John Leguizamo, Sherri Shepherd, Debbie Reynolds, Debra Monk, Nate Mooney, Adam Paul, Fisher Stevens.  

Note:  Blockbuster 3*, imdb 5.0 out of 10, 2% critic 50% audience on Rotten Tomatoes.
