This month you will begin to see a countdown at the bottom of each blog. The HIGHLY anticipated movie, One For The Money, premieres Friday, January 27th. Author Janet Evanovich’s highly acclaimed book series has made it to the big screen. Her series of books, One For The Money, Two For The Dough, Three To Get Deadly all the way through number Eighteen (which came out in November) are I dare say the best any (mature) girl could ever read.
The books are based on an unemployed protagonist, Stephanie Plum, who in desperate need of a job goes to work for her cousin Vinnie’s bail bonds office as a bounty hunter (of sorts). She isn’t very good at her job in the conventional bounty hunter way but that is where the fun begins. I guarantee laugh out loud moments in these books. She has an irrepressibly, hilarious Italian family & coworkers & lovers that keep it all moving. You can read her books in a day!
The movie was supposed to premiere last year so Stephanie Plum lovers are chomping at the bit. Katherine Heigl plays Stephanie (there was a consensus that it should be Sandra Bullock & there was a scare that it might be Reese Witherspoon – luv ya Reese but not in this role!) We Plum readers take this very seriously it seems. The setting is Trenton, NJ but the movie was filmed outside of Pittsburgh, PA, no doubt for safety reasons. Trenton isn’t always the safest place to be in Stephanie-type situations (hence the need for even lousy bounty hunters!) But, you better show us a Cluck-in-the-Bucket or else! Collect those GNO friends & save the date!!! (Hey we don’t have to dress up like we did for the Sex in the City movie! Jeans & (Rangeman) black t-shirts & hair scrunchees all the way! Also beer may be easier to sneak in than Cosmos!)
So looking forward to this! View the trailer below. (these are also playing on TV now)
PS. Janet’s E’s new book came out Tuesday. It’s co-authored with Dorien Kelly called Love In A Nutshell.
Can't wait for Friday! I'm thinking about going with the Rangeman look, hell if Lula can do it so can I, WHAM!! Still would go with the scrunchee though, pretty sure I can find a black one. Tee hee, see you then.
