Critic Reviews

Kerry Lengel

As formula films go, The Bounty Hunter is more enjoyable than most, even if it packs in as many cliches as any. Read full review

Justin Chang

This dire battle-of-the-exes action-comedy severely tests audience goodwill by running an indulgent 110 minutes, crammed as it is with half-baked thriller subplots and aimless supporting characters, as if to distract from the central duo’s nonstop bickering. Read full review

Roger Ebert

Why, oh, why, was this movie necessary? Read full review

Amy Biancolli

Works overtime for just a handful of chuckles and a few big yuks. Read full review

Calvin Wilson

Perhaps tracking down the folks responsible for this film should be Milo’s next assignment. Read full review

James Berardinelli

If there’s anything to like about The Bounty Hunter, it’s Christine Baranski doing a Joan Rivers impersonation. Read full review

Marc Savlov

Barely worthy of a legitimate theatrical release. Read full review

The Bounty Hunter is one of the those films that tries to cross genres and blend different types of humor, but it fails miserably as the jokes fall flat and the action is lame.

Jennifer Aniston will be in anything.And i mean anything.She is the only thing that kept me watching this dead end, dreadfully boring film that its only good part is where she grabs her breasts, other than that, the film is pretty terrible

Okay The Bounty Hunter is a premise that shouldn’t have been put to screen in the first place, but then you got Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston and you think maybe. Then you watch it they have simply no chemistry and the film is so badly written it isn’t funny. It isn’t bad enough to be… Expand

I have seen my share of bad movies but this one knocks it out of the park big time. I was not entertain people I was bored out of my mind. I ask the same question that my favorite critic Roger Ebert asked. Why was this movie necessary, why was it made. Iâ
