Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaEx-cop and former Fox TV news reporter Mike Sheehan appears as the desk sergeant in this film. Mr. Sheehan was arrested in March 2009 for hitting a mounted policeman with his car. This was the same charge that Nicole Hurley, Jennifer Aniston's character, was charged with.
- GoofsMilo says the stun gun shocked him at 250 volts, which is too weak to shock him unconscious. Stun gun charges are over 10000 volts.
- Quotes
[calling Milo from inside his car's trunk]
Nicole Hurley: Milo, please, you have got to let me out of here.
Milo Boyd: Hmm... nope!
Nicole Hurley: All right, I shouldn't have run away, you just caught me off guard. And the truth is, I think I might need your advice on something.
Milo Boyd: Well, that's a real shame. Because I wouldn't help you if you were the last baby sea turtle dragging your little, tiny body across the burning sand whilst hungry seagulls circled overhead. No, I'd just pull up a chair, sip a pina colada and watch nature take its course.

But this one is a killer. Milo Boyd (Gerard Butler) is the titular cop who tries to take his ex-wife Nicole Hurley (Jenifer Aniston) to jail because she's jumped bail. Everyone associated with this film except the talented Christine Baranski as Nicole's cabaret-singing, swinging mother should be locked up. I laughed not even once given that the film is paint by numbers plot about exes who still love each other and fight almost to the end to disprove that situation.
Aniston's only observable talent here is to display a well-tended body in tight short skirt (even though she plays a reporter, most of whom could not go the News Awards looking half as good), and Butler shows he still has his 300 abs, muscular arms, and seductive lisp. After those attributes, the stars are on their own with lines to blush over and set ups trite as could ever be conjured.
A bounty hunter is not a real cop, and The Bounty Hunter is not a real comedy. Both want to be much more than they are but will never be. "Book 'em, Danno!"
