> It seems like Katherine Heigl has as many detractors as fans, and while it used to be box<br />

office gold to have her face on a poster, it’s a little harder to tell if her brand is a cost or a<br />

benefit. But this made-for-tough-girls romcom is based on a series of books with fans almost<br />

as fervent as Trekkies (if better-looking), so if you don’t go for the Heigl, maybe you’ll stay<br />

for the high jinks. Heigl plays Stephanie Plum, tried-and-true Jersey girl who on the same<br />

day loses her husband, her sports car and her job at the Macy’s lingerie counter. Before she<br />

loses anything else, she has to beg her cousin for a job at his bail bonds company. Plum finds<br />

herself relying on her street smarts and survival instincts to find a score worth $50,000—a<br />

rogue cop who’s pegged for a murder he swears he didn’t commit. This newbie who’s moved<br />

from brassieres to bounty hunting has to find her edge, and when she learns the $50,000<br />

score was her high school sweetheart, she thinks she’s scored—but he’s a cop and a savvy<br />

one, and she only has to be around him a while before the bullets and sparks start flying.<br />

This is okay with her kookie grandma (a bubbly Debbie Reynolds) who’s all about the floorshow<br />

and the feisty-hot second chance. Maybe we’ll give Heigl a second chance—though<br />

after Killers and The Ugly Truth wouldn’t that be a third chance?Anyway, it won’t be easy, but<br />

it might be worth a shot. (more On the Horizon on page 68)<br />
