Murder, with Love

Good movie, good cast, interesting mystery, kept me guessing until the end, and when the murderer was identified, I was shocked, did not see that one coming.

No love interest so I cannot comment on chemistry.

My advice; Good movie for the mystery loving family.

Really happy to see an old school type of mystery movie where we can watch with our kids. Nothing horrific or adult rated or other bad scenes, which is hard to find these days. Thanks! After watching this we already added all the next parts of the mystery movie to our family movie night list! =)

It would be great if this was shown on Netflix because right now everything mystery on Netflix is so not meant for kids.

Over-familiar plots and mis-en-scenes drawn straight out of TV series like Diagnosis Murder and Murder She Wrote (shadowed profiles of killers with gloves presenting a syringes to the camera). Attractive actors (notably all in the 30-40age range) and backgrounds but stereotyped villains (eg., hostile, egotistical and hysterical CEOs and doctors) that are supposed to present red herrings for the viewer. Plethora of poorly-drawn primary and secondary characters that are all trawled serially for "motive" by the protagonist (which of course turn out to be other "secrets" they are concealing. Use your 90mins elsewhere.

In Hallmark movies and TV shows, there is a tragic and unnecessary epidemic of fake eating. You know what I mean: actors having something delicious in front of them. They bring it right up to the tip of their mouth, are about to partake, and then boom, the director cuts to the next camera and somehow the actor has magically finished!

In Hailey Dean Mysteries, there are no smoke and mirrors. Viv Leacock as Fincher Garland, is the real deal. He takes us on a journey, chowing down on an eclectic mix of culinary delights, everything from sublime burritos to salty snacks, and we enjoy every savory second of it.

We really like the actors & characters in this Hailey Dean series. Kellie Martin is well suited to the role! We like the policeman Giacomo, the pizza loving investigator buddy, and the new boyfriend forensic investigator. Some of the other series are not wellcast, but this one works well!
