Flower Shop Mystery: Snipped in the Bud (2016) Reviews
Is it illegal to open a not mailed stamped letter?
The story starts off quickly with the murder of an old law rival, Professor Carson Howell, just as Abby makes a flower delivery; and of course, she is a suspect as her fingerprints are on the murder weapon. But my money was immediately on Jocelyn Barnes as somehow she got on the crime scene floor after it was closed off; so I figured she was already there and had sequestered herself after she had killed Carson. No doubt she was having an affair with Carson. But was I guilty of falling for a red herring. Maybe it was Kenny the nice TA. Couldn't be Daniel Kash, Professor Bruce Barnes, as he is just too obvious. Overall a nice entry for the series. I liked Paulino Nunes as the laid back detective Sean Reilly; and it's nice to see Beau Bridges as Brooke Shields dad, retired Detective Jeffery Knight. I just don't like Kate Drummond as Nikki Bender. It's not her fault, it's the writers who wrote her as a ditz. While I like Brooke Shields it is difficult to believe that her character was a former lawyer before becoming a florist as her investigative skills skirt the law when she should know better. And at times she behaves more like a teenager than a 50 year old. This series, however, is a tad better than the current crop of "cozy" female detectives running on the Hallmark Channel.
So what's the motive?
The second Flower Shop Mystery: Snipped In The Bud has our lawyer/florist making a personal delivery of flowers to the law school at her alma mater and to Professor Jeff Teravainen. Only Brooke Shields finds she's delivered her flowers to a corpse. Unfortunately she also touched an item at the crime scene. Which puts her as number one suspect for Detective Paulino Nunes. I could so identify with this part of the story. In my days at NYS Crime Victims Board I saw cases where the police just got an idea and stuck with it and sometimes they were wrong in their theory of the crime. The fact that Brooke had no motive at all for killing this man who was a very popular professor didn't seem to make no differences to Nunes. So with the help of boyfriend Brennan Elliott and some counsel from Beau Bridges her dad, Brooke manages to come up with a nice list of suspects. I have to say the one who did it was not one I suspected. That's always the biggest factor for me in evaluating a mystery film. I don't think you'll figure it out either.
Ageism criticism
This is a response to the person who felt Ms Shields (age 54) should have portrayed Beau Bridges' (age 78) wife rather that be paired with with an actor is is only 10 years her junior. Really! Ridges is definitely old enough to be her father. I know this isn't a review and won't be printed, but I felt the "reviewer" missed the boat when focusing on the age oh the leads.
Kidding me
Brooke Shields plays Beau Bridges daughter? Seriously she looks more age appropriate to play his wife. Im unsure why the new Hollywood theme seems to put these ageing cougars romantically with younger men, but its not working the lines are pretty weak, particularly Brook Shields reaction to finding a murder victim...laughable. The plot is interesting but really this is no more than a TV movie
