<P> The film was not initially screened for critics and has been widely panned; it currently holds a 2% rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on 52 reviews with the consensus: "Dull and unfunny, One for the Money wastes Katherine Heigl's talents on a stunningly generic comic thriller ." </P> <P> R. Kurt Osenlund of Slant Magazine criticized the cartoonish portrayal of New Jersey and its various caricatures, and the dumbed - down gender depiction of its main cast by an all - female production team, saying that, "This isn't girl - power filmmaking, this is cutesy contentment, a production team of gals enforcing their own stereotypes by willfully succumbing to demographic views of sexist Hollywood honchos ." Sheri Linden of the Los Angeles Times noted the film's poor scripting of Heigl's character, story progression, and balancing both screwball and black comedy, calling it "an ungainly mix of flat - footed gumshoeing and strained attempts at hilarity, all delivered with an unconvincing Joizy vibe ." Despite Heigl and the film's supporting cast being up to the task, Frank Scheck of The Hollywood Reporter felt they were undone by a script unsure of its genre, saying that "One for the Money mostly resembles a failed television pilot, a feeling which is only reinforced by its late - January release and failure to be screened for critics ." Sam Adams of The A.V. Club found Heigl miscast as Stephanie because she lacked any spunk or tenacity to make the character tolerable and charming, despite some decent comedic timing, saying "there's a hollowness at the movie's center, right where Heigl's heart should be ." </P> <P> Despite the poor reception, author Janet Evanovich was delighted with how the film turned out and did some joint interviews with Heigl to promote the film . Evanovich stated that she would now envision Heigl as Stephanie when writing the character . </P> <P> The film debuted at number 3 behind The Grey and Underworld: Awakening with $11.5 million on its opening weekend . One for the Money grossed $26,414,527 domestically and $10,479,194 globally to a total of $36,893,721 worldwide, below its $40 million budget . </P>
