Oh, this one is a good one! What an absolutely bizarre film! We invited the phenomenal comedian/writer Grace Jarvis along to help us unpack this rom-com about brutal murder.

"One For The Money" is a 2012 sexy, comedy, crime film based on the book of the same name written by Janet Evanovich. The book is the first in a series featuring the character of Stephanie Plum. As of 2021, this series of books features 28 full length novels, 4 holiday novellas and a short story in a compilation of the authors work. The film, as of 2023, is stand alone.

It stars Katherine Heigl from "Grey's Anatomy" as a tough New Jersey woman of Hungarian/Italian decent. She loses her job as a lingerie salesman at Macy's so, naturally, she becomes a Bounty Hunter. Her first job is to find the super sexy former cop who is a suspect in a heartless murder... but, in a whacky plot twist, this sexy ex-cop took her virginity! Also, her boss is her cousin who tried to kiss her once. Cooked.

John Leguizamo plays the owner of a gym and the coach of a vicious man who may have witnessed the murder of an innocent woman.

This sounds really dark, hey? Yeah... except that it's a rom-com....
