Leave your thoughts about The Bounty Hunter.
| Arizona RepublicKerry LengelAs formula films go, The Bounty Hunter is more enjoyable than most, even if it packs in as many cliches as any. |
| Entertainment WeeklyOwen GleibermanIn 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. |
| Chicago TribuneMichael PhillipsWe have to take the sexual tension on faith, as with everything in this formulaic glob of a script. |
| Los Angeles TimesBetsy SharkeyTry as they might, Nicole and Milo, as they are called in the movie, don't steam. Wispy vapors is about as good as it gets. |
| Orlando SentinelRoger MooreAniston 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. Butler makes the most of his Neanderthal rut. |
| The Hollywood ReporterKirk HoneycuttThe mishmash ends up as a thoroughly unfunny adult cartoon. |
| VarietyJustin ChangThis 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. |
| Philadelphia InquirerCarrie RickeyTennant 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. |
| Boston GlobeWesley MorrisThe Bounty Hunter does give Christine Baranski, as an Atlantic City entertainer and Mama Aniston, another opportunity to enthrall us with her drag-queenliness. |
| New Orleans Times-PicayuneMike ScottEven if The Bounty Hunter is more plot-driven than your standard romantic comedy, it's never quite as funny as it should be. |
