With its convoluted plot, you'd think Bounty Hunter might be a waste of time. Who is after who? Which set of bad guys are we looking at? Why isn't Milo a cop anymore? It doesn't really matter. The game is only afoot between Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston. Everything else is filler.
The attractive leads have an engaging chemistry - the sole point of the film. The snappy retorts and crazy little chase scenes fit the bill for an hour and a half of light entertainment. In fact, finding Peetimes was pretty easy, since there aren't really any set pieces you can't miss.
I can even ignore the unfunny insensitive treatment of Nicole's co-worker/suitor (a nice enough fellow who puts himself in the line of fire for Nicole and gets atrocious treatment for it). It was enough for me to settle into a pleasant little March movie and watch hunky Butler make cute little Aniston squirm.
B+ for the fun, and ignore the hammy henchmen/plot MacGuffins.
