Wow, is the dye job, Jersey accent and handgun worn by Katherine Heigl in the One For The Money trailer all it takes for us to forgive her of her movie sins (a.k.a. The Ugly Truth)? The film, due out in January 27, 2012, features the New Year’s Eve star as a Jersey bounty hunter and we find her way more appealing here than in her usual high-strung blond roles. We feel like we’re back in that honeymoon period right after we saw Knocked Up and before we saw, well, any of the rest of her movies.
Now, sure, we’ve all seen Katherine Heigl misfire a gun and/or fall down in front of her crush before (Killers, Life as We Know It, um, the rest of them) but for some reason a Jersey accent just makes it all less grating rather than more. Did we just uncover the secret behind why everyone (i.e. us) loves Jersey Shore? Let’s not forget Heigl’s dinner-shooting grandma, though. It’s hard to not to win us over if you’re sitting next to an elderly woman who accidentally puts a bullet into a roast chicken. If only Abduction had included a wacky gun-tottin’ grandma scene, Taylor Lautner might be singing a different tune right now.
