Movie #2160 "Curious Caterer: Dying for Chocolate" (Hallmark Channel) Not much to watch last night while working on the computer so I checked out the Hallmark Channel (early for me --- usually, just at xmas time I check in) and I noticed this mystery --- It had two of my favorite xmas Hallmark stars: Nikki Deloach and Andrew Walker, so I thought this might be one of the better ones --- I was wrong about that! The mystery was weakly set up with silly goings on--- for example, no apparent reason why the detective would follow her to a restaurant when she's on a date(that's just silly, or obvious foreshadowing that he cares about her, but then that's embarrassing for him: what is he thinking?) and that's just one example --- I picked out the murderer after the really lengthy list of possibilities got introduced --- there were some cringeworthy scenes that were here ,and one big one was the very last. I had fallen asleep because it was so run-of-the-mill (and I was tired) and I woke up to "Murder She Wrote" theme, so I backed up (I had taped it just in case) and watched the last 30 minutes this time with my eyes opened and oh my --- the very end was the only real mystery --- I was left with : what were they thinking? I give it a 2.5 --- maybe someone might like it, but this viewer didn't.
