This is a treat for the eyes. The scenery is lush, and it's beautifully shot. There is a retro-glam feel to this that's reminiscent of 1960s films.

The dancing is wonderful, and the dance scenes were my favorite parts. The tango rehearsal in water and the black & white dream sequence were standouts.

Will Kemp really is the star of this for me. He is a wonderful dancer, a good comedic actor and has loads of charm.

From other reviews, it seems some didn't care for Lacey in this. But her character was meant to evolve, and she does. From a stiff detective who is anti-social to quipping with Will's character. I thought they were a good pairing.

The mystery was the least of it for me. I think they were so many moving parts - the dancing, showing the scenery and building their partnership, that it was a bit hard to fit everything in. That said, there are some stellar parts to this movie. I would watch another installment.

This is set in current times, but it isn't a modern-day comedy. You won't find frat-boy humor here. And don't expect this to be knee-slapping funny. Although, I laughed out loud several times. Standout scenes that took place in a bar & Beth's writing classes, to name two, were very funny.

This is a throwback to movies pre 2000s when people had conversations in films. It's very much in the realm of an NYC Woody Allen film.

Smart writing, great acting and an interesting theme that makes you think. Is it OK to lie to a loved one if you're trying to encourage or spare their feelings?

The star of this movie is the ensemble cast. Not a weak link in the bunch. I enjoyed their interactions, relationships, insecurities, and, especially, their conversations.

Low on Christmas, high on stupidity, this movie lacks nuance.

The characters are over the top and silly. The mother and sister are like Chatty Cathy dolls stuck on one psychotic speed. Hannah is either trying to balance them out or is clinically depressed. She gets excited about very little. She just seems confused in most situations.

The murderer is obvious from the very start. There is no rhyme or reason for the person to be inserted into the story and the behavior is so obviously strange.

Hannah's wannabe boyfriend/detective matches her note for note on the boring front. They find a lot of crime, but they couldn't find a spark between them with both hands and a flashlight.

Maybe they are the actual killers, because they will bore you to death.

Generally low quality in every category. The acting and writing are subpar. The direction is odd. Case in point: When her food catches on fire on the stove, her son sits there for a full minute or two trying to get her attention to tell her rather than actually running to the stove, himself, to put out the fire.

That's also a good example of how it seems they are just stringing sight gags together rather than actually telling a story.

They also insert a lot of whining to make up for the lack of plot. It would be fine if the lines were funny, but they're not.

This lead actress seems to have a following based on her faith and not using profanity. That's fine, but there are other movies and comedians that use little profanity, and it's actually entertaining. This is not.

This was amateur hour from the very start.

Everything in this episode was off. And everyone was acting out of character.

Frank would have never allowed one of his cops to go against the rules and post nude photos regardless of personal circumstances. He was so solicitous with her that, at one point, I thought he was going to ask her on a date.

Danny making that ridiculous speech to the criminal who accused him of arresting him because of race... Please! Danny would never apologize for something like that. He arrested him because he had a record & fit the description of the attackers.

Erin is nothing but controlled and measured when it comes to her personal life, especially now that she's running for D. A. The way she came on to Jack at her door was out of the blue. She acted desperate.

As for Eddie, I've really had enough of her know-it-all attitude and the writers trying to have her always be right and everyone making excuses for her. She adds nothing to the show for me.

They're showing this on Get TV now. Just caught the first episode today. Excellent episode and will continue watching. Love Cheryl Ladd in this and all of the other characters are great, too. Gorgeous scenery. Opened with the beautiful Hawaiian song, "I'll Remember You." That song brings me to tears.

This is one of the worst episodes of "Diagnosis Murder." It was a pilot that was never turned into a series and with good reason. It was over- acted to the point of insanity. The lead girl has no redeeming qualities. She comes off as mean and ditzy, a weird and hideous combination. I disliked almost all of the pilots they subjected "Diagnosis Murder" viewers to, except the one with Delta Burke. But this one stands out as cringe-worthy. I suppose they were going for campy, but even that has to be done with decent acting and some finesse. This episode had neither.
