I wish they'd play this movie on a cable station I get.

Murder by the Book is by far the best movie I've ever seen. Funny, Romantic, Mysterious, and you'll never guess the ending. Robert Hays plays a writer with an alter ego, Biff Deagan, the main character of his novels. The Movie gets funnier and funnier as time goes on. This movie will either have you rolling on the floor laughing one minute or have glued to the edge of your seat the next. Other must see movies of Robert Hays are Trenchcoat, 50-50, and For Better or for Worse (Honeymoon Academy) (1990). If only movies nowadays could be as could as these I'd watch more movies. Robert Hays is at his best in all of these movies. Nothing would please me more than to see him make a comeback.

I'm dumb

What a waste of time! Why did I watch it to the end? I guess I'm dumber than the movie. This is no Agatha Christie, for sure.

"She May Not Be As Dumb And Innocent As She Looks!"...

Hard-boiled crime author, D. H. Mercer (Robert Hays) longs to part company with his best-known character, Biff Deegan. It's not long before Mercer gets involved in a mystery of his own, after witnessing an abduction.

While sleuthing around, Mercer is joined by none other than Deegan (Hays), who offers his own brand of more aggressive detective work. Complications arise when people start turning up dead!

MURDER BY THE BOOK is a decent made-for-TV movie. Watching it, you might find yourself questioning Mercer's mental state, since he's constantly talking to his alter-ego, whom no one else can see. In spite of / because of this, it's humorous and entertaining.

It's always good to see Catherine Mary Stewart in anything, and she's excellent here! Also, Fred Gwynne plays a criminal mastermind!...

A fun 94 minutes

This was a fun movie with good performances all around. There weren't any real surprises for me and I doubt there would be for anyone over 12. But that's what genre fiction is for; it's comfort food for the mind. Full disclosure: I'm a writer, so I may have identified a bit more with our protagonist than most would.
