Joseph Morelli did this to me - not forever, but periodically.”Īnd somehow, Morelli always seems to be involved in Stephanie’s cases. And just to complicate things, poor Stephanie has a bad case of the hots for hunky vice cop Joe Morelli, also from the “burg.” As Stephanie puts it, “There are some men who enter a woman’s life and screw it up forever. She’s also a bit of a klutz, and prone to impulsive decisions. I’m more like Wonder Woman with a B-cup.” As she puts it, “I don’t look at all like George Foreman. But let’s get it straight - Stephanie isn’t exactly the toughest thing on Earth - or even New Jersey. Rather than move in with her parents (and trigger-happy, thrill-seeking loose cannon Gramma Mazur), she goes to work for her cousin Vinnie, a bail bondsman. And, it should be noted, family ties tend to strangle. Working-class Jersey girl and former lingerie buyer STEPHANIE PLUM is a bond bailsma-er-bailsperson, working out of the blue collar “burg” in Trenton, New Jersey, where “houses and minds are proud to be narrow”. Grandma Mazur in One for the Money Katherine Heigl as Stephanie Plum. Really, I think they'd have been better off to cast all unknowns that FITTED the characters and stuck to the plot from the book - it would have had a better shot.“That shooting gave me an appetite, somebody pass me the potatoes.” I won't be buying the DVD or going to any sequels. I'm disappointed because I had high hopes for the movie. It was like the casting director didn't read the book. Lula, Connie, and Vinnie matched the book descriptions of the characters fairly well but everyone else was off. Time shouldn't have been the reason either because the movie ran only an hour and a half - if they'd gone for two they could have had a much better (and closer to the book) adaptation. There was nothing too extreme in the book that might not have fit in the PG-13 rating so why did they change so many things? It was like the added more dialog in places and took out the fun and exciting stuff. Maybe I'm in the minority but a lot of the really funny stuff in the book was in the details and these parts got lost in the translation to the big screen. I suppose the MAIN part of the plot is the same but the details are scrambled or in some cases completely left out.

If you've read and loved the books this movie leaves a lot to be desired. If you haven't read the book you MIGHT like the movie.
