Tipline Mysteries: Dial 1 for Murder

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.

This is typical Hallmark - the cute amateur and the cop who doesn't want her help but gets it anyway.

This one is cute , with likable characters. Maddie (Holland Roden) is a hotel concierge by day and works the tipline at the Detroit Free Press as a second job.

When she receives a tip about a jewelry heist about to happen, there is not enough info for detective Beeks (Stephen McNally) to act on it. When the heist happens, his boss isn't thrilled.

Holland Roden is a young Cameron Bure type. She's vivacious, bold, and irreverent. She and McNally play off one another well.

I'm ignoring "reconcilable differences" as I think it was a transcription mistake.

Hope to see more.

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.

Thoroughly enjoyed this movie. The banter between Chris McNally and Holland Rosen was wonderful. They played off each other very well. Very funny together.

The premise was great. I've always loved Chris in everything he's ever done, and this movie was no exception. How could you not love him? He's adorable and a very talented actor. Holland was positively charming. Loved her character. Jill Teed as the Captain was great. Cardi Wong as Officer Tran was also good.

I can definitely see this becoming a series. It was that good. Hopefully Hallmark is listening. The movie was trending on X most of the evening.

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.
