The Bounty Hunter doesn't deserve a snappy title...

Well, as it says in the title, the movie I last viewed was The Bounty Hunter, starring Jennifer Anniston and Gerard Butler. And like it suggests in the title, it wasn't very good.

It took the best part of 30-40 minutes to even get going, with really only about two laughs coming in that time. And not even proper LOL moments, just kina titters or giggles.. But that can be said about the whole movie, really. They just became a little more frequent as the film progressed. Emphasis on a "little."

Now, when I pay for a movie, I always try to see SOME good in it. I've given my money, I like to convince myself that I got at least something out of it. For this movie, it would be Gerard Butler. His character, eh, I'm not going to say he was likeable, nor was he unlikeable. He was just a character. But he provided pretty much the only laughs, near enough. Basically just him bullying and abusing Jen Anniston was the most giggle-worthy thing in there. But it's nothing you haven't seen in a rom-com before. In fact, there's probably even LESS in here than your usual rom-com.

In fact, on that note, I think I'll wrap up. It's not worth your time reading a review, nor is it worth your time seeing this unfunny, predictable dribble, unless you're REALLY a fan of Butler. I wouldn't even advise Jen fans to see it, as she (not her fault, more the writers) didn't really get any funny lines. She was basically just... there.

Verdict: just avoid, to be honest. If you just wanna go waste 90 mins in a cinema this week, at least try make it something you can get more out of.
