Hallmark is definitely trying new things this year. They won't all work, but after so many years of running basically a one-play offense, any attempts at branching out are appreciated.
This film is a comedy whodunnit, starring Rachel Boston and Victor Webster. Both are familiar Hallmark faces, and both have done the lighter side before.
Boston is hit or miss for me. Sometimes she's too sugary, other times she's tolerable. Here she's in between somewhere.
Webster is always pretty much the same, but he can deliver a punchline when the situation calls for it.
I'm delighted to see Stephanie Sy in a role beyond Caroler #1, or Receptionist. She was great as the quirky assistant, and even when not speaking all the little faces she makes are hilarious.
The daughter was great too.
I can see watching this again next year.
Seven.
