Hapless bounty hunter Milo Boyd (Gerard Butler) jumps for joy at the prospect of tracking down his bail-skipping ex-wife, Nicole Hurley (Jennifer Aniston), but gets a hard dose of reality when the job... read more read more... proves tougher than anticipated. Every time Milo gets close to resourceful reporter Nicole, she gives him the slip. A high-profile murder has been committed, and Nicole is determined to stay out of jail long enough to crack the case. And she must be getting close, because now someone is trying to take them both out. They may not have been able to make marriage work, but if Milo and Nicole can just stay alive long enough to solve the murder, they might discover they're not such a bad team after all. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

    cute and funny but nothing too exciting.
  • September 27, 2011
    The Bounty Hunter was a painful and boring experience that I hope I must never endure again. The story is so boring and stupid, it starts as a romance then aaction film then espionage, I hated every minute of it. The cast was bad all expcept for Gerard Butler and Jason Sudakis,... read more and Gerard proves he can be a funny guy with this movie. The jokes were horribly written and I did not laugh ONCE, I didnt giggle, smile, cheer or ect, it was just plain unfunny. I hated this movie with a passion, and even a couple of good cast members can't save this crappy romantic comedy.

    I wouldnt watch it again, but I like Butler and Aniston together for this romantic crime comdey, was really good!

    Gerard Butler is one sexy man. Definitely made this film more watchable than it really is. Jennifer Aniston is just as hilarious. Sort of like Mr & Mrs Smith.

    An adorable movie, I loved it soooo much. I love Jen she's just adorable and Gerard is as well. I just really enjoyed this movie and it was a memorable experience because I watched it when I had my Sweet 16 Birthday Party :) Just such a great movie :)

    Gerard Butler plays Milo, an ex-cop turned bounty hunter with gambling debts to pay... Jennifer Aniston plays Nicole, a journalist working a big case who, in typical Hollywood fashion, lives a lifestyle far too rich for her profession and she is also Milos ex wife.......

    Milo is a bounty hunter and he gets a dream job going after his ex wife Nicole for skipping bail. I really think they are too old for this type of movie.

    It's a Jen Aniston chick-flick, so I knew what to expect. It still wasn't really worth a shit. Gerard Butler was pretty decent in it, but Aniston was her usual self (not good) and the jokes were pretty tired and not that funny. Had some good action scenes in it (for a movie like ... read morethis, I mean), but still pretty formulaic. Only for certain audiences (you know who you are).

    I'm not going to lie, I have seen much worse. The film starts off with a divorced couple, and they are the complete opposite, but because of that reason, it draws them together. It is cliched and funny at the same time. No it does not provide actually laughs, but even though the ... read moreplot is one of the worst I've seen in a long time, the movie was still a little bit fun! I am not going to say I hated it, but there was nothing good about it. I don't like the bounty hunter, but I thought I was going to like it a lot less than this. It's not horrible, but it's pretty bad! Plus, the running time will make you want to listen to nails on a chalkboard! Nearly reaching a 2 hours run time for a bad romantic comedy is hell, but if you forget all these facts, you may just be able to endure it and have at least a little bit of fun. Other than that it is definitely a really bad movie!

Even considered as no more than an assembly-line Hollywood product, The Bounty Hunter falls well below factory standards. Full Review

Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail

The story of a bail enforcer who captures his newspaper-reporter ex-wife manages to be both formulaic and patchwork, with whatever twinkles that exist between the stars eclipsed by the overall crudeness. Full Review

Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle

The film is stuffed with these idiosyncratic micro-roles (I loved Siobhan Fallon Hogan as the bondsman's secretary), which prove more diverting than the two main characters. Full Review

The latest evidence that, when it comes to romantic combat, we live in a more thoughtlessly brutal age than our ancestors did.

At points, the film sinks below the level of competent: A stupid plot trick early on is so badly edited that it takes another minute to figure out what's supposed to be going on. Full Review

...plays less like a genuine story than as a series of 'beats' engineered for the cheapest possible audience responses. Full Review

There are two parallel stories: Milo's and Nicole's on-again, off-again relationship, and those guys with guns who keep shooting at them. We know exactly how the first one is going to end and we don't... Full Review

Someday, The Bounty Hunter and last month's Cop Out will be featured in a cable movie double bill as the two worst 1988 films of 2010. Full Review
