Crimes of Fashion: Killer Clutch

I love Hallmark Mysteries, I really do. I don't mind the cheesiness or predictability, but this one... OOOF! I couldn't even finish it. And then, I was so embarrassed it was in my Continue Watching queue, that I fast forwarded through it so no one would know I even tried watching it.

Brooke's job- what? That's not a thing!

The ridiculous French actors/accents made it hard to follow along.

The over the top acting... NOPE!

I wish that Hallmark would make more of The Gourmet Detective or Crossword Mysteries instead of this junk.

Overall, this isn't worth your time, alphabetized the cans in your pantry for a more useful way to spend 84 minutes.

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.

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.

Brooke D'Orsay stars as a fashion psychologist- whatever that is - in Crimes of Fashion: Killer Clutch.

Lauren Elliott goes to Paris for Fashion Week and in the midst of it, her friend is accused of murder.

Lauren teams up with a detective (Giles Marini) to prove her friend innocent.

I will address my pet peeve first. On another site, someone complained that the cops spoke English. No, the cops were speaking French. French people do not walk around Paris speaking English with French accents, nor do they speak English to one another. One assumes they are speaking French, just as we assume Romeo and Juliet are speaking Italian.

I loved the fashions, hated the rats.

Brooke D'Orsay is a pleasant actress. For the most part this is an okay entry ino Hallmark Mystery genre.

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!!
