Squeaky Clean Mysteries: Hazardous Duty

We were hoping this would be a good one, similar to various Hallmark cozy mysteries. Unfortunately, not so. The acting was questionable. Several of the actors say their lines as if they're in a hurry to get them said, rather than with feeling. The romantic-interest story was way too soon, and seemed to take priority over the murder mystery part. And yes, there are some cops that may act as sarcastic and snarly as the detective in this story, but not most of the ones I know. The uncaring, jump-to-conclusions cops shown in this movie and others is tiring.

I typically consider imdb ratings before watching a film. This one was waaaay offfff.

No way this could be better than 4 unless the reviews are stacked.

Smaller budget films can be alright, but this is not one of those. The idea was good but the execution unbearable due to: Intolerable acting Stiff scripts Inexperienced extras Forced chemistry Awkward kissing Predictable plot Stupid ending I actually hoped the main heroine character would get killed and the murderer would get away, just because it was so bad.

At one point I was dubbing Mystery Science style to make this piece of crud somewhat entertaining.

The only plus is the actual storyline was decent.

I enjoyed this movie and really do hope they make other episodes. I mean it's not a movie is ever going to be nominated for an Academy award in the actors are the best in the world, but they're good, and it was enjoyable with some humor.

I seem like an American taken Australian show that I watched, but that was only one season.

Was unfamiliar with all the actors and actresses, but I enjoyed them all. Also nice is that it appears to have actually been filmed here in the US instead of Canada I'll never understand why when they film a movie in Canada they try to pretend it's the US why can't they just say it's a Canadian location?!

Why on earth would you use the title and characters from a great book series and not make any of it like the book except the names?? The movie Gabby is nothing like the book character. Gabby has curly, wild red hair, loves kooky tees and flip flops are a main stay in her wardrobe. Sierra has a hippy vibe and hello!, she's supposed to be Asian! Also, there is no humor in this movie. Humor is a big part of the books - characters and situations make you laugh along with the seriousness of investigating murders. And lastly - where's the faith factor?? Riley and Gabby are both Christians. They are imperfect and sometimes struggle with their faith, especially Gabby. Faith isn't something banged repeatedly over one's head in the books, but is definitely included. In this movie -- non-existent. The chemistry between these characters - also non-existent. The writers and director managed to take a great, fun book story and turn it into plain pudding. Not even vanilla - just plain boring nothingness. I can't believe author Christy Barritt signed off on this. Yes, it's great to have your novel made into a movie but at least make sure it's a decent one.

I know I'm very opinionated on this, but I've read the entire Squeaky Clean book series avs loved it and the characters. This movie is a joke.

The books are great - funny, intense, well written, and the characters have depth. This movie has absolutely none of the humor, and the characters have no personality at all. The producers of the movie removed everything interesting that made the books enjoyable. If you want an enjoyable and quirky mystery, read the books or do the audio book, but don't waste your time on this very terrible adaptation. I hope they paid the author well to completely screw up her book and make people think the book will be just as stupid as the movie. They did a disservice to the author of the original books because anyone who saw the movie first would bother with the books, and there's a whole series of "squeaky clean" suspense novels with great characters and decent plots.
