Watch Dead Over Heels: An Aurora Teagarden Mystery For Free

Too much of everything

Really Surprised!

Great movie! If you want to be entertained and have a few good laughs, see this movie. The music is also very good,

The plot isn't so bad, but the pace of storytelling is too slow which makes people bored. Certain moments are so obvious and unnecessary for the main plot. I would've fast-forwarded those moments if it was an online streaming. The ending looks like implying a sequel, not sure if this movie will get one

A lot of reviewers seem to forget that these mystery movies are Hallmark productions, which probably means low budget. Don't expect a Kate Hepburn performance from the leading lady! Another common complaint is that the movies don't follow the book. Well, duh! How many movies based on books actually follow the book? And they also forget that is based on a 'cozy' mystery, meaning lighthearted (well, lighter than usual) murder mystery.If you view this movie as a stand alone and don't try to compare it with a book, it's an enjoyable murder mystery without tons of blood and gore. The acting isn't world class, but it isn't intended to be. Remember, it's a Hallmark movie, not a mega bucks production. If you do that you may surprise yourself and actually enjoy it.

Aurora (Bure) is having plumbing problems and with the help of her friend, Sally (Doig) they set about fixing it. While checking out the well's pump in the garden, the body of Chief Of Police, Captain Burns (March), falls from an aeroplane... at their feet. Being the compulsively curious amateur sleuth she is, Aurora sets out to track down the cop killer...Storywise, this isn't as solid as previous instalments of the enthusiast crime solver. In a few scenes, it feels especially contrived. Specifically where the two sisters are concerned. The reaction of Bess Burns' (Cairns) reaction to her husband's death is kind of unbelievable. She doesn't appear to mourn him and at times even sees a bright side to his death. Then there's her sister, Lillian Tibbit (Harvie), who has an episode where she's the complete opposite of her normal personality, This would have been okay had Bess been more realistic. But to have two strange personalities in one story is one too much. This does pull the audiences attention away and out of the story and film.This though is pretty much the only downside to the movie. The rest of the story is strong and sound. Filled with red herrings and false suspects. Though it shouldn't be too hard for you figure out whodunnit... though you may find yourself changing your mind a couple of times.There's nothing too interesting in the direction, it's pretty standard stuff. Also, the special effect of the falling body looks cheap and nasty. Luckily it's at the start of the film and over in a couple of seconds.It's the acting along with the story that will keep the attention of the audience. Just like the previous episodes, the acting is above average and nobody stands out more than anyone else. Everybody has the limelight, allowing the story to take precedence and helps to extend the mystery (there's nothing worse than having some actor or actress walk on screen and you know they're the bad guy or gal).If you're a fan of the Aurora Teagarden Mysteries you will like this chapter of her life. You needn't have watched the previous episodes to enjoy this film, though you would probably get more enjoyment if you had.

They dropped important characters from the book, and added others to provide a romance. The location change - from Georgia to the Northwest is slightly acceptable, but changing relationships from the book - certain characters are already married by now - and in the book Martin is much older than Aurora. I just recently read the book series so was looking forward to seeing the filmed versions. Instead the changes just make me annoyed!

Not one of the great ones and again, a lame story line that drags on for what seems like forever. We are back to the clothing /hair..Still dressing like a 12 yr old with hair that looks like she ran a mixer thru it . Law enforcement dropping out of the sky is a really far reach but if it had to be anyone, glad it was the character least likely to ever win an award for being likable . Still do not understand why she traded in the wonderful house in the city for the dump in the country. To each his own but it tells me the character is not too intelligent . She works in a library when she bothers to show up for work and how hard can that be. I feel for the boyfriend of Henners character as he seems like a weak type with no back bone to stand up to Henners character, which I cannot stand . Miscast character the mother.
