One for the Money centers around the unemployed Stephanie Plum (Katherine Heigl) who becomes so desperate for money she convinces her cousin, Vinny (Patrick Fischler) to give her a job at his bail bond company. Regardless of Stephanie's lack of experience, she takes on Vinny's biggest bail-jumper, former local cop and murder suspect, Joe Morelli (Jason O'Mara). Coincidentally, Joe also happens to be a romantic interest of Stephanie's from high school.

The fact that the character of Stephanie Plum was the bounty hunter heroine from Janet Evanovich's popular book series was the movie's only saving grace for

Joyful Noise
by Ronald A. Rowe January 25th, 2012 | Comedy, Family, Romance
Joyful Noise is an odd movie that defies several conventions of modern film-making. It talks about God far more than a Hollywood film but Jesus far less than a Christian film. A white man comes to the rescue of a black family, something that has been taboo in Hollywood for a generation. A young black woman spurns a black man for a white man. These things just don’t happen in movies anymore.
I’ve spoken to several people who saw it and were deeply disappointed because it wasn’t the Christian movie they thought it would be. Joyful Noise is rated PG-13

When Harry Met Sally is on my list of favorite movies. What's not to like about a romantic comedy that features Meg Ryan and Billy Crystal? Watching their relationship change throughout the decades with a mix of laughs and tears, it is the perfect chick flick.
Harry meets Sally when they graduate from the University of Chicago, and Sally gives Harry a ride to New York City. Like vinegar and water, they don't mix well. The main topic of their drive is whether men and women can be friends. It is determined that a heterosexual friendship is not possible and,

Pretty Woman
by Michele December 21st, 2011 | Comedy, Movie Reviews, Romance
At home on a recent weekend, we were scrolling through the hundreds of channels available and were disappointed, yet not shocked, to find almost nothing of interest. However, as we were nearing the end of our options, we discovered Pretty Woman was playing and had started only fifteen minutes earlier. This twenty-one year old movie is not new to my viewing, so I was content to pick up part-way into the film.
A Cinderella story, its writing and acting help the audience forget that the protagonist is a hooker. Julia Roberts does a fine job of playing Vivian, a young

New Year’s Eve

After seeing Valentine's Day, I really didn't have high hopes for this movie. Based on the previews, it appeared to be an exact replica of Valentine’s Day that takes place on a different holiday. Valentine's Day was a film about the lives and relationships of various people. Sort of like a bunch of short films that have been put together to make one movie and frankly, I was not impressed. The biggest draw
