Tipline Mysteries: Dial 1 for Murder

I loved this mystery movie! It was the best mystery movie I've seen on Hallmark! Great Cast! Especially Chris McNally! He's a phenomenal actor and I love every movie he has done. He can make any character he plays his own! I love watching him in movies! This movie was the perfect role for Chris! Holland Roden was a perfect leading lady for him. They were fantastic together. Great chemistry! This definitely needs to be a series! I really hope Hallmark makes it a series! It has all the feels, intrigue, suspense, humore, and a touch of attraction! We so need to see this couple together on our screens!

First of all - the cast! I knew that I was going to love the movie, before I even watched it!

Holland Roden is so charming and pretty! Her character was really likeable and awkward at times. Very cute! Chris McNally is incredibly handsome! The chemistry was on point, which is sometimes hard, even for movies with great leading actors.

The plot was amazing, really different from the usual first the murder and then the possible suspects and who did it... Really clever and there was a lot of humor as well.

I am really looking forward to more movies from the series. This is so far the best Hallmark movie of 2024. Really enjoyable.

I Loved The Cast straight away Chris McNally and Holland Roden are magical together great writing, excellent acting (loved the small main cast) I hate when theirs too many people to keep track of. Loved that the writers didn't pair off romantically or have Beeks n Maddie attracted to each other or even admire each other until the very end it gave the hidden admiration more depth. The Mystery clues were excellent I didn't figure it out until the last minute and the secondary stories were neatly intertwined that it kept the movie moving along rather interestingly enough plus they were well connected too really Hope Hallmark makes it a series.

Maddie Moore (Holland Roden) is a hotel concierge who moonlights at the phone tipline for the Detroit Free Press newspaper. She is a crime buff who often passes the tips onto unhelpful retiring robbery/homicide Detective Grazier but he always ignores them. Beeks (Chris McNally) received the highest grade and replaces Grazier. Maddie receives a tip on an impending jewelry store robbery.

Roden is an energetic spark plug. She has good conflict with McNally. The main drawback is that this is a Hallmark Mystery and the production is no more than TV movie level. I like the fast-talking Roden and McNally is a good grump. I would suggest turning on the closed captioning. It makes it easier to follow the mystery.

I agree with the person that said the female leads voice was very hard to u understand unless you turned the volume way up. It made it difficult to follow the story line. Her acting was good but the voice issue was distracting. It seemed she was pitching her voice lower for some reason .

Cheri's Mc Naly is one f my favorite's on Hallmark. I really enjoyed him last year on 3 Bedrooms, 2 Baths. , 1 ghost. Fun mystery. This story is almost as much fun.

The acting is good from the entire cast. The story moves along well . Enjoyed the interplay between the characters and the back story about helping others.
