PLOT:

from Hallmark Press Release:

A Hallmark Channel Original Movie about a group of college friends who reunite for a bridal shower that turns into a crime scene investigation when one of the friends is found dead and is presumed to have been murdered. One of the friends is devastated and becomes fixated on solving the crime.

Joss Jenner (Anwar), an art authenticator, joins her college girlfriends, including her beautiful former roommate, Cait Randell (Thea Gill, "Life with Judy Garland: Me and My Shadows"), with whom she has an unresolved dispute. Despite some tension, all of them are looking forward to a fun reunion of the old gang and a bridal shower for one of the girls. When they all arrive at the cozy White Swan Bed and Breakfast, the women start getting caught up on each other's lives and taking part in the festivities, including playing silly bridal shower games. However, after dinner on the second night, when Joss volunteers to help clean up, she sees something on the ground and realizes it's Cait's dead body.

Sheriff Zach Watts (Sheffer) and the local authorities immediately begin an investigation, and Joss, who has many questions including the truth from Cait about what really happened in their past can't relax until she finds out who committed the crime.

  1. means well but pace is slow and most disturbing is these 35 year old women are made to look more 45-50 yr old.The makeup artist must be very young.

  2. Thanks, movie blogger. I'm watching this movie now and I agree that the pace is slow but it is holding my interest. As to melpostell's comment about the women's age, both Anwar and Gill were 40 when this movie was made and I don't see them looking significantly older than that.

  7. I wish this would air more frequently or it would be available on DVD. I really enjoyed it, the actors, characters and the mystery. I don't understand why Hallmark is so stingy with it.
