Redemption in Cherry Springs

6/10 - an okay new mystery to join the Hallmark Movies and Mysteries slate, but a lot of loose ends that remained unresolved at the end hindered my enjoyment of it.

The story line jumps around too much. Takes too long to get to the point. Characters are too shallow. Hallmark hasn't had too many good shows over the last year. New writers may help.

The actors are great! The script needs work. Slow.

The movie was painfully slow. I kept pausing it to do other things because it just wasn't very interesting or suspenseful. I blame the writing staff. I've loved Rochelle Aytes and Frankie Faison in all the things they've done and the entire cast did a good job with what they were given. The storyline and the plot development were the problem. Hopefully Hallmark takes another stab and does a second installment but uses the Aurora Teagarden writers. They know how to write a good story and make the most of the cast chemistry.

The storyline was very unimaginable. I feel for the actors. The dialogue was nothing to write home about. Sorry.
