I'm not a big fan of Jennifer Aniston comedies. She's all right in most, but the stories are pretty predictable. Even so, I finally suffered through Bounty Hunter when it showed up on TV. Aniston gave an enjoyable performance, ,but "Milo," the character played by Gerard Butler, was so obviously a complete ***-hole from the beginning of the movie to the end of it that Ifound myself cringing at the certainty that the Aniston character was doomed to end up with him. (For the record, I am a heterosexual male, and I found Milo's behavior offensive, vindictive, and utterly without charm.) The supporting cast was competent enough to keep the movie from being a complete disaster, but really, unless you need to watch every movie Aniston ever made, don't bother with this one, you can do better.

This movie biggest problem for me is: Jennifer Aniston. The woman simply cannot act. She doesn't know how to create/compose characters so she is basically herself in.every.movie. It's like watching a little "Jennifer Aniston reality show". And it doesn't work. It never works. No even for a romantic comedy such as this. In addition to Aniston's lack of acting skills there's the fact that she and Gerard have ZERO chemistry together. It's almost painful to watch. Charlize Theron, Sandra Bullock, Olivia Wilde... even Sofia Vergara would've been more appropriated for the part. Anyone but Aniston. The good part is Gerard Butler. I'd say it watch it only if you a fan of his work and endless charm.

I had a high expectation on this movie but when I'm already watching it, i want to fast forward everything! It's full of running, shooting and dull moments between the two leading characters. Humor lines are not really funny. The plot is predictable: two couples got divorced then at the end fell in love again. I think Gerard Butler is not really for comedies. All throughout the film he has a strong facial expression not fit for a comedy film. Jennifer Aniston looks fine in the entire movie, she really portrayed well the character. I need to fast forward when Aniston and Butler are talking because the lines are predictable as i observed the development of the dialogue. I think Aniston saved the plot and Butler. I really like her as a comedian. So, I'm still giving it a 5.

THE BOUNTY HUNTER fizzles without ever being ignited. Sarah Thorp wrote this ambiguous tale and Andy Tennant (who ha done some good movies) 'directed' it and likely the only reason it ever made it into theaters lies in the decision to place name actors in the leads. That doesn't even help. Milo Boyd (Gerard Butler, grossly miscast) is an ex-cop turned bounty hunter whose track record is less than acceptable. He lands a chance to redeem his failing career when he is assigned to bring in his bail-jumping ex-wife, a news reporter Nicole Hurly (Jennifer Anniston) whose 'crime' is as foolish as the script. The 'cute twist' is that Milo and Nicole were married but found their commitment to work a barricade in maintaining their marriage. The rest of the film is Milo chasing down Nicole who happens to be tracking a news story on a criminal and somewhere along the way the two have moments of reconciliation quickly botched by the clumsiness of Milo's bounty hunter abilities and Nicole's investigating warps. The chase becomes more of a stagy thriller than the intended comedy romance - and there is absolutely no chemistry between Aniston and Butler on the screen. Tiny cameos are embarrassing, even in the hands of actors such as Christine Baranski, Cathy Moriarty, and Gio Perez. It just doesn't fly. Grady Harp
