Stephanie Plum Movie -One for The Money


Katherine Heigl stars as Stephanie Plum



In less than two weeks the Stephanie Plum movie, One for the Money will be released. It will be starring Katherine Heigl, best known for her TV role on Grey's Anatomy, as bounty hunter Stephanie Plum. In addition to Katherine Heigl, the movie also has Jason Omara as Joe Morelli and Daniel Sunjata as Ranger.
As in the series by Janet Evanovich, Stephanie Plum is drawn to both these characters who are a study in contrast.

The movie is based rather loosely on the first book in an 18 book series penned by Ms. Evanovich. Heigl as Plum is laid off as a lingerie salesperson, and in the tough economy needs work. Her Cousin Vinnie is a bail bondsman, and he agrees to take her on as a bounty hunter. The catch however is she needs to bring in someone she knows, Joe Morelli, who in addition to being a cop, happens to be the boy who was her first crush ever.

In addition to Katherine Heigl, Jason Omara and Daniel Sunjata, the film has a good supporting cast led by Debby Reyolds as Gramma Mazur. Many of the fans of the Stephanie Plum novels are disappointed that Sandra Bullock did not get the Plum role, and Betty White the role of Debby Reynolds
