The trailer for the movie version of One for the Money is out.

For the uninitiated, One for the Money is based on the first book in the Stephanie Plum series written by Janet Evanovich.  Stephanie Plum is a down-on-her-luck divorcee who ended up working as a bail bondsman for her sleazy cousin Vinny.  She has two love interests in her life: the cop Joe Morelli and the mysterious bondsman Ranger.  She also has a crazy family, especially her Grandma Mazur, and she became friends with hookers, especially Lulu.

The books themselves are pretty fun, but I stopped reading after the first few because they became really repetitive.  I did remember enjoying the first one, though, so I hope I will like this movie.  So far the cast doesn't really match my expectations.  Katherine Heigl seems miscast as Stephanie, and Jason O'Mara doesn't look Italian enough to be Joe Morelli.  I like Debbie Reynolds, but I always imagine Grandma Mazur to be more like Grandma Yetta from the Nanny.  I definitely won't see it in the theaters, but perhaps it'll be worth a look on DVD depending on the reviews when it comes out.
