Witness to Murder: A Darrow mystery

Kimberly Williams-Paisley and her mother Wendy Malick are leaving a meeting when while getting into their vehicle they see someone from a car firing a weapon at the other attorney they were meeting with. The other attorney is wounded and his paralegal/chauffeur is killed.

A woman the Darrows know is the chief , but they don't believe it for a second and they become her defense lawyers. Complicating things further is that prosecutor Tom Cavanaugh and Williams-Paisley are starting to date. A little reference to the classic Tracy/Hepburn comedy Adam's Rib.

I have to tell you I had this one figured almost immediately and I think any decent mystery buff will figure it faster than I did.

Still good entertainment value though.

Claire ends up representing the woman who helped besmirch her mother's character and caused her to loose her job at her old firm. But when Claire and her mother witness a murder of two other's from the firm...they are not convinced that she is guilty of that as well!

This was an interesting mystery and results in a kiss and an agreement to "see one another".

Funny courtroom romance. Not in the ballpark of Legal Eagles but light and breezy...fun to watch.

Anything with Tom Cavanagh is worth the watch and we weren't let down in this one. Kimberly Williams Paisley was a great co star as well. Wendie Malick held her own as well

Predictable?...yea, probably. But come on, so what. Yea, I saw the ending coming but not exactly as screened.

Oh yea, the Hot Chocolate reference made us chuckle even thou this wasn't a HM Christmas movie.

It was definitely worth the watch...enjoy it.

Stale plot and terrible writing took this installment down. The first few movies were charming, this time the characters were annoying about their "non" relationship and most of the movie felt very contrived. Very disappointing. We figured out the plot before the murder happened.

OK, I (fortunately) only caught the last half of this "movie". I was surfing through and saw Wendie Malick, and stopped to watch. Then I made the mistake of leaving the sound on.

I have seen the main three leads in many other shows, so I know they do know how to act.

That leaves the "writer" and "director", if they can really be described as such.

The worst was the writing. It is like the writer has heard a few commercials for other much better lawyer shows, and thought they knew how to write a courtroom drama. Hint, next time, watch the entire show, you might learn how a courtroom drama should be written.

The worst example - When the prosecutor calls the police lieutenant as a witness to supposedly describe the trajectory of the bullets, the lieutenant says only a few words, and the defense does no cross examination. This should have been a crucial part of the case, and it was nothing.

Three stars only because they hired Wendie Malick, and at least gave her some decent lines. Otherwise, one star or less.

No spoilers here, it is hard to spoil something so badly written.
