Crimes of Fashion: Killer Clutch

This was my first Hallmark mystery movie and I have to say I truly enjoyed it!! Casting was on point! The chemistry between Gilles Marini and Brooke D'Orsay was perfection! I want to see where the story continues with these two !! I really enjoyed the story line and the scenery. Was a fun movie night with friends trying to solve the mystery. It made me want to see more. Gilles Marini is a beautiful and talented leading man and Brooke was adorable to watch ! I would definitely recommend it !

I am wishing for Hallmark to take these two characters on their next adventure. Very talented and charismatic!!

I want to thank the Hallmark network for finally combining two topics that makes a viewer watch the movie,murder and fashion. A movie that can be watched by men and women & with no complaints. The right amount of suspense and the perfect blend of two cultures, food and lifestyle.

As a fashionista I thoroughly enjoyed the back of the house scenes, the preparation of the runway and the tension that happens behind the glamours moment.

The freshness of Brooke as an American girl in Paris and Gilles Marini as detective Andre gave the perfect chemistry..the camera loves him & so does the audience.

Gilles Marini who played the French police detective Andre Dubreuil was wonderful as the leading man and the Hallmark regular Brooke D'Orsay who played the fashion psychologist Lauren Elliott was beautiful and a consummate professional as usual.

The mystery itself was decent, I liked that Lauren has a police detective father...and I thought she followed the clues well and asked the right questions. I didn't mind the Paris fashion week backdrop...but I really found the "fashion psychologist" profession odd and hard to believe. Don't get me wrong, I think many members of the fashion industry prevail themselves of members of the psychological profession...but?

Also poking fun of the monolingual American seems like a bit of a cheap shot in this day and age, and I didn't find it funny. Overall, if you can get over the poor sense of humor and the questionable profession, the mystery was good and I do think the two leads have chemistry. I would watch another, but it's not on my recommendation list just yet.

This is obviously a vehicle for Brooke but it was too much her acting was OTT but to be fair the writing didn't help - a fashion psychologist turns detective and of course is better at the investigation than the actual detective - so predictable. And her job title what was that about!

The casting of Gilles Marini and Paloma Coquant is super! Both are enjoyable to watch and can actually act that's always a surprise in a Hallmark production. Also Paloma est très belle.

Can't work out if this was filmed in Paris at all But I enjoyed the illusion of it being Paris and the use of French throughout was a nice happenstance as I speak French I don't know if non speakers would feel the same.

That said it didn't make sense that Lauren traipsed around Paris solving a crime without bothering to try to speak French. Talk about unrealistic

I'll just add Mohamed Belhadjine is a revelation I hope he has a long successful career.

There's a bunch of fake 10 star reviews on here. The movie is definitely not this good. But it's also getting panned by real people. And it is better than this.

The biggest gripe people seem to have is the implausible nature of the lead's role. And I completely agree. But (to me) that didn't take anything away from an otherwise quirky and fun film.

The acting was great and the mystery setup had some fairly unique elements. The gentle parody of the fashion world actually made me laugh out loud once or twice.

The romance also felt real. They certainly seemed more smitten with each other more than the average film.
