Enquêtrice malgré elle

Wendie was fantastic. If it was any other actress I would have stopped watching. It is a mystery I suppose, but her narration and the music made it a fun watch.

This Hallmark comedy thriller pays tribute to Billy Wilder.

Audrey Brandon (Wendie Malick) is celebrating her 30th anniversary with her businessman husband Michael who later confesses to cheating on her.

He leaves her for a younger maneater Christine. A few months later Audrey finds her husband dead in her kitchen with a knife sticking out.

Audrey wonders what her husband is doing dead in the kitchen when he had left her. The police treat Audrey as the main suspect especially as her finger prints are on the knife as she tried to pull it out.

Audrey goes on the run as she tries to clear her name. She contacts her late husband friends and associates.

Audrey suspecst Christine who has a thing for rich older men. To Audrey's surprise she learns that her husband always cheated on her.

After All These Years is mildly diverting thanks to Wendie Malick's energy. She makes the movie much better than it should be.

It is a little daft and corny as Audrey goes through the suspects but it is a surprise that the cops did not catch her much earlier.

What a refreshing departure for Hallmark! Kudos for casting an older woman as the main star of the movie. On top of that, the storyline is fun and engaging. Wendie Malick is good in all her movies. There are a lot of roles in the movie which makes it a bit confusing to follow but it's still enjoyable. Give it a try!

Cute, adorable story. Sad about the husband though. The actor who played him is one of my favorites. I really enjoyed Wendie Malick in this role. This is a really good mystery and I was guessing who murdered the husband even to the end. A movie full of Hallmark greats. This is a story of a woman who after 30 years together loses her husband to another woman. Just when she is facing the reality of divorce, she finds her husband on her kitchen floor with a knife to his chest. Naturally she is accused of murder. She goes on the lamb before his funeral to find out who killed him knowing all eyes are on her and the investigation will stop there. The true funny, zany adventure starts there. many twists and turns throughout. I take murder and death very serious. I know many people enjoy these stories though. Of course the victim was made out to be a very vile man. I do think this movie was well made though. Gregory Harrison is adorable here. Enjoy!! James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 2/18/2021

On the night of their 30th wedding anniversary, Audrey's husband confesses to being in love with another woman and wanting a divorce. The couple separate over the summer and he ends up dead back in their house where Aubrey finds him and is then accused of being his murderer.

Before they can lock her up for murder she decides to find out who really did it in this comedy murder mystery. Audrey Brandon has two really great friends who know she's innocent and pop in and out of this farce. There is an older detective on the case who has a comical but antagonistic way of conversing with Aubrey.

This was a whodunnit solved by a highly motivated amateur sleuth. She looks into the last few years of her husband's life where she encounters characters like his former partner the reclusive and Paranoid Artie...and discovers that there was another mistress!

"My life had been turned in to a combination of every bad TV movie ever made." The narration was great and gave it an old fashioned gritty film noir feel.

The lawyer, Joey Lilac, and his dog...the not so tiny, Tiny were great. But the star of the show was Wendie Malik. It is wonderful to see fun roles like this were older women get to be the stars. She was beautiful, funny and she knocked it out of the park. I also enjoyed seeing Gregory Harrison in more of a romantic role.

"You not killing Michael might be the best thing that's ever happened to me." -Larrabee.

"Innocent? Like Lizzy Borden? I'm a podiatrist and you are turning me in to an accessory!"...funny!

This was fun and funny, not the usual Hallmark fare. I highly recommend you watch it.
