Tipline Mysteries: Dial 1 for Murder

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 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!

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 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.

I loved the movie, but couldn't stand to hear the female lead talk. I couldn't understand anything she was saying because of her ridiculous vocal fry. Why do actresses talk like they are straining their voices, resulting in their dialogue sounding like a squeaky pig stuck in a barb wire fence. So many times I just wanted to reach through the TV and hand her a sore throat drop. Why wouldn't the director or sound person say something during filming?! This type of speaking is so freaking annoying, and makes you not want to watch anything with it in it. All actors, please stop the vocal fry! It is not attractive.
