A down-on-his luck bounty hunter (Butler) gets to track down his bail-jumping ex-wife (Aniston). There’s plenty of exciting action, comedy, and romance…in some other picture, but not this laugh-free misfire. Aniston’s annoying, and Butler can be charming, but not enough to salvage the proceedings. Let me get out my calculator: I count 11 films that Aniston has starred in since Friends shut down in 2004. Did you plunk down money for any of these: Love Happens, Management, Friends with Money, Rumor Has It? OK, you saw Marley & Me, but that was because of the dog. And speaking of dogs, skip this one.
