I'm a big fan of the Curious Caterer movies, but I didn't like this one.

The band characters were fairly boring and several of the guys were interchangeable making it hard to follow. Stop throwing a zillion names at us to explain a plot. That's hard to follow. Just write a good plot.

I've always liked that the characters in these movies were somewhat realistic, but at least one character, the super fan, was too over the top and silly.

I couldn't stand the way Goldie behaved. She seemed less like an adult in charge in this and more like she was a tween jumping up and down and giggling at the band.

I think getting Goldie & Tom together this soon is a mistake. They'll lose the undercurrent.

And, finally, there was a lot of really bad hair in this. Goldie's new bob is bad on her face and it looked fluffy and sometimes fuzzy. Tom is parting his hair down the middle, which is a giant no. The stubble makes him look 10 years older. Sara Strange's short hair leaves me speechless. I hope it was a wig.

All in all, this was a real disappointment.

The Chemistry between the two leads is no surprise - not sure how many Hallmark movies they have been in but the chemistry is always powerful. The Mystery itself was complicated but intriguing - there were plenty of clues and cudo's to the reviewer that figured out the culprit - I had no clue ( pun intended ) The supporting cast was adequate but unconvincing is some cases , the direction could have been sharper but all in all it was a good watch and all things considered a possible inflection point for a Hallmark mystery series in that unlike Ruby Herring and Mystery 101 - the romantic leads may actually continue as a couple - ala Hart to Hart.

This was a very solid mystery. Several red hearings, good miss directions, A good number of suspects. I like the fact also that it was a solvable mystery. I was able to correctly, deduce the murderer or murderers about 3/4 of the way through using the clues provided.

The pacing was pretty good, the characters were relatively likable. Their actions even were fairly realistic for a movie. I thought characters acted like I might have expected them to act.

All if you like a good solvable mystery, a who done it, This is a solid watch and a good way to spend two hours, or an hour and 25 minutes if you forward through the commercials.
