Short description

Milo Boyd is a former police officer now working as a bounty hunter, and he is struggling financially when he receives an assignment that seems too good to pass up: bring in his ex-wife, journalist Nicole Hurley, who skipped a court appearance. He expects an easy payday and a chance to settle old scores, but Nicole has no intention of being delivered quietly. She is chasing a story tied to a murder, and she slips away from him to follow leads.

The two former spouses try to outmaneuver each other as Milo attempts to do his job and Nicole pursues her investigation. Their personal history complicates every step, and the pursuit eventually puts both of them in danger from people connected to the case she is working on. The film is an action comedy with a romantic thread, directed by Andy Tennant, whose earlier films include Hitch and Fool's Gold, and written by Sarah Thorp. Jennifer Aniston plays Nicole and Gerard Butler plays Milo, with supporting performances from Jason Sudeikis, Jeff Garlin, Ritchie Coster and Cathy Moriarty.

Released in March 2010, the film had a production budget of 40 million dollars and took in about 136 million dollars worldwide. On IMDb it holds a rating of 5.6 from roughly 140,000 votes, while on TMDB it has a rating of 5.9 from a much smaller number of votes.

What's left behind the scenes

  • Sarah Jessica Parker was one of the candidates for the lead female role.
  • Mike Sheen, a former police officer and Fox News journalist, appeared in a cameo role. In March 2009, he was arrested for hitting a mounted police officer with a car. Nicole, played by Jennifer Aniston, is accused of the same crime in the plot.
  • Producer Neal H. Moritz and director Andy Tennant live next door to each other. They were chatting on the street one day, and Moritz asked Tennant what he was working on, to which Tennant replied that he wasn't working on anything special. Moritz then realized that Tennant was the right person to direct this project.
