No Sign of the Bounty For Jen and Gerard…

Jennifer Aniston and Gerard Butler have been working HARD to promote their latest film The Bounty Hunter, but it seems their efforts (and red carpet gropes) have been wasted.
The film has taken just £3.8m at the UK box office since its release two weeks ago, which added to its measly $48m at the US box office equals a box-office flop.
And the critics have been vicious to Jen, who is so desperate to prove herself as a movie actress rather than ‘Rachel from Friends’ (as Ricky Gervais called her at The Golden Globes).
TBH only got an 8% rating on movie website rottentomatoes.com and one critic, from The Scotsman said:
“The Bounty Hunter fails to locate any laughs or charm over two punishing hours as its chemistry-free leads, Gerard Butler and Jennifer Aniston, mug their way through two of the worst performances they’ve ever given.”
Oh dear. Looks like an epic fail for Jen and Gerry. Time to wheel out the ‘showmance’ again to get more bums on seats? Judging by the lack of chemistry in the film, we’re not buying it, on or off screen.
What do you reckon – is Jen still America’s sweetheart or should she ditch the rom-coms for good?
