Absolutely the worst movie.
Afouotos
Although it has its amusing moments, in eneral the plot does not convince.

Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

This episode really develops various aspects of the triangle of Hannah, Mike and Norman. For one thing, we find out more about Mike's past, his late wife, and one of their mutual friends who also had a crush on Mike. Meanwhile, with Mike distracted by events, Norman has a chance to strengthen his relationship with Hannah. We see the results of the murder at the start of the movie, and then there is a flashback of what leads up to it. These things take up about half the movie. Personally I hate this type of flashback. I also hate when the lead character, who is also an established upstanding citizen, is suspected of the murder. Yep, Hannah literally walks right into being a suspect.I also hate when the protagonist ignores the law doing illegal things in the name of "helping" the investigation. Admittedly, Hannah has skirted the line on this in previous episodes, but this time ...I have liked previous episodes of the series of movies, primarily because of Alison Sweeney. Hannah's heart is so big, it is hard not to like her. In this one, there were too many of my pet peeves, so I didn't care for it. However, many viewers without my prejudices will probably enjoy this one because there is so much going on.

A "friend" of Hannah's opens a bakery right across the street from Hannah. And Melanie Quinn is quite snarky about her special peach cobbler. The taste however is familiar to Hannah: It's a frozen cobbler from the supermarket. Hannah knows then that Melanie can't bake. Then there is the usual: Hannah makes a cobbler that her friends acclaim as superior; there is a confrontation scene where Melanie accosts Hannah and states she will bake a special Southern cobbler; Melanie shows up in tears at Hannah's admitting she can't bake and needs Hannah's help. Hannah goes over to help Melanie and while there Melanie says she hates pretending but in three months she will be closing because her sister (Vanessa)—the backer of the bakery—said that's how long the bakery had to stay open. Bang, Melanie is dead. Best if you DVR this episode, watch the first 20 minutes and then zip to the last fifteen to see if you were right about who did it: you will be. Forgot, there is the usual subplot with Hannah's mom desperate as usual to find a man; of course, she finds the wrong one.

Ignore the review before this one... that person was overly negative. There is so much bad stuff on TV and it is harmful to the heart and soul. This is a more wholesome program to watch that does not leave you feeling depleted like so much that is in TV programming. That's why I watch Hallmark to begin with. Television needs more Hallmark! What set is not fake...they are studio sets! This series is light and fun. I am from Minnesota so I had to look up where it was filmed and found out it was Canada and yet the cars in this series showed Minnesota license plates. They took care of the details! Anyway, yes, I would recommend watching it ...even my boyfriend got into watching it, although women are a primary audience. Heather

Hallmark's cozy mysteries movie series (Murder She Baked, The Gourmet Detective, Flower Shop Mysteries, etc.) is intended to be fun and family-friendly, so think of them as more like episodes of a T.V. show. They're romance movies but have an actual plot. They're best for watching while you cook and clean, because you can follow the plot without paying full attention. That's why it's perfect that the Murder She Baked series is about a pastry chef. Her narration, her cooking tips, and the fact that she uses her baking expertise to help her solve mysteries is what makes the series worth watching. Especially since foodie movies are usually incredibly depressing, and thus unappealing to me. I love how seeing Hannah bake makes me excited about baking. Also, the fact that Hannah listens to a radio show that gives cheesy romance advice, similar to The Delilah Show and the host looks similar to Delilah Rene Luke, is a relatable guilty pleasure.
