I have always been a Molly Ringwald fan, and was sad when her career tanked in the late 80s/90s. She was supposedly a top choice for Pretty Woman (!!!!!), my god that would have been a totally different movie.
So we find Molly in the role of a classical music DJ with the top ratings in Philly. I love classical music, so at least that kept me interested. I also love murder mysteries, and trying to figure out who the killer is.
Okay, now the bad... Molly is attractive, but it's like she's playing a character where she is so desired by all men. Not seeing it. And her personality which has always been endearingly off-putting to me, is just not suited for characters outside the Brat Pack.
And finally, the WORST and why I would not recommend this. The viewer has just spent the last hour and a half trying to figure out who the murderer is. That's the fun of a murder mystery, and intensely watching for clues. There are tons of red herrings, and I really couldn't figure it out. I even thought the cop who ends up bedding her was a viable suspect. So in the last few minutes, we discover who the actual murderer is. And guess what? He was never shown or mentioned throughout the flick. It's like WTF????? What a deflator. So I just wasted all this time, sorta invested in the outcome, and then they randomly introduce some stranger at the end. Horrible. Awful.
I was engaged but the ending completely ruined the experience. If you are a mystery enthusiast, you will come away angry and feeling used. Just skip this stinker.
