Roger Moore, Orlando Sentinel: Aniston doesn't bring her old A-game to this. But at least she's not quiet and reserved and no-energy, her approach to too many roles of late. Read more
Michael Phillips, Chicago Tribune: This genre has devolved to the point where what I appreciate most, in the end, is simply not cringing. Read more
Glenn Kenny, MSN Movies: ...plays less like a genuine story than as a series of 'beats' engineered for the cheapest possible audience responses. Read more
Stephen Holden, New York Times: Read more
Lisa Rosman, Time Out: You know it's bad when a caper comedy makes you long for the Goldie Hawn-Chevy Chase showcases of yore... Read more
Moira MacDonald, Seattle Times: Butler...is stuck here playing kind of a jerk, so it's hard for him and Aniston to work up much chemistry, particularly as she's busy racing from the law in a pencil skirt and heels (easily the movie's most impressive stunt). Read more
Scott Tobias, AV Club: Based on the onscreen evidence, not a single person in front of or behind the camera cared a whit about how The Bounty Hunter turned out. Read more
Kerry Lengel, Arizona Republic: As formula films go, The Bounty Hunter is more enjoyable than most, even if it packs in as many cliches as any. Read more
Wesley Morris, Boston Globe: Does Columbia Pictures know that a reality-television program with a similar name already exists on A&E? Is it wrong to find that show funnier and more romantic? Read more
Andrea Gronvall, Chicago Reader: Inexplicably, Butler continues to get work in romantic comedies despite his limited range and boorish persona. Read more
Amy Biancolli, Houston Chronicle: The film is stuffed with these idiosyncratic micro-roles (I loved Siobhan Fallon Hogan as the bondsman's secretary), which prove more diverting than the two main characters. Read more
Peter Rainer, Christian Science Monitor: At points, the film sinks below the level of competent: A stupid plot trick early on is so badly edited that it takes another minute to figure out what's supposed to be going on. Read more
Owen Gleiberman, Entertainment Weekly: In The Bounty Hunter, the couple that foils a bunch of tiresome grade-C thriller goons together stays together. Whether or not that's a recipe for love, it's certainly not a formula for romantic-comedy magic. Read more
Betsy Sharkey, Los Angeles Times: When it comes to Aniston, maybe it's simply time to settle and stop asking her to be The Good Girl anymore -- perky just might be as good as it gets. Read more
Brian Miller, L.A. Weekly: On the soundtrack, Jerry Reed sings "She Got the Goldmine (I Got the Shaft)." Viewers will know exactly the same feeling. Read more
David Denby, New Yorker: Even considered as no more than an assembly-line Hollywood product, The Bounty Hunter falls well below factory standards. Read more
Stephen Whitty, Newark Star-Ledger: A so-so movie that confuses loving closeups of Aniston's golden highlights with a character, and stripped-to-the-six-pack shots of Butler with a plot. Read more
Kyle Smith, New York Post: Someday, The Bounty Hunter and last month's Cop Out will be featured in a cable movie double bill as the two worst 1988 films of 2010. Read more
V.A. Musetto, New York Post: Read more
Carrie Rickey, Philadelphia Inquirer: Tennant aims for a contemporary version of The Thin Man, wedding the banter of sparring spouses with sleuth work. To say that he falls short of the mark is understatement. Read more
James Berardinelli, ReelViews: The putrid result never rises even to the lofty heights of mediocrity. Read more
Richard Roeper, Richard Roeper.com: Note to Jennifer Aniston: stop playing with your hair! That's not acting, it's playing with your hair. Read more
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times: I stared with glazed eyes at The Bounty Hunter. Here is a film with no need to exist. Read more
Kara Nesvig, Minneapolis Star Tribune: Aniston isn't the world's greatest actress, but the main reason The Bounty Hunter stinks is the script. Read more
Calvin Wilson, St. Louis Post-Dispatch: Perhaps tracking down the folks responsible for this film should be Milo's next assignment. Read more
Liam Lacey, Globe and Mail: The story of a bail enforcer who captures his newspaper-reporter ex-wife manages to be both formulaic and patchwork, with whatever twinkles that exist between the stars eclipsed by the overall crudeness. Read more
Peter Howell, Toronto Star: There are two parallel stories: Milo's and Nicole's on-again, off-again relationship, and those guys with guns who keep shooting at them. We know exactly how the first one is going to end and we don't care about the second. Read more
Linda Barnard, Toronto Star: Read more
Claudia Puig, USA Today: Aniston and Butler can't seem to muster any believable chemistry. A lot of mugging happens, but no magic. Read more
Melissa Anderson, Village Voice: Read more
Dan Kois, Washington Post: The filmmakers clearly believe that their tangled storyline is madcap and delightful, but each new complication just serves to make us feel as though the blessed end of the movie is creeping further and further away. Read more
