Whatever is needed, you can count on Beau. Also, Beau Bridges is in this as a sounding board and in case we need more exposition. I couldn’t care less about the plot because just like watching The Big Sleep (1946), you are watching for the Brooke and Brennan back and forth, not the plot. Oh, and something plot related about a Green Thumb Nursery. This is followed by a scene where Brooke sits down with a woman who wants a divorce so that we make sure we still remember she was a lawyer. Then there’s a little girl talk back at the flower shop that I’m pretty sure has no customers that come into it. Next we are introduced to this series’ version of Norman from Murder, She Baked, but he barely exists in this movie. Either that or she only got around to importing her family photos onto her tablet the day before on November 1st, 2016. Then she goes to the family album of her photos on the iPad where we see a picture of her husband who may have died the day before during a fishing trip. With Brooke on the case, she goes on her iPad to read a screenshot of a newspaper article about the murder, which apparently took place on November 2nd, 2016. Normally that would drive me nuts, but it makes them made for each other in this series. They are really just busy body snoops, which is one of the reasons I kind of like this series already. Someone turns up dead at the Canadian American flag waving motel, Elvis is a suspect, and Brooke and Brennan are on the case. Oh, and Brooke’s car got hit by another car that may have been involved with the murder that happens soon.Īnd by soon, I mean now. Works out because her neighbor Marco Salvare, played by Brennan Elliott, shows up next at the flower shop. This scene only exists to tell us that Brooke used to be a lawyer, but stopped when her husband died and opened a flower shop instead because “none of it just seemed as important.” In other words, her husband died so that the character will be able to be a detective and Beth Davenport from The Rockford Files at the same time. Oh, and just in case we thought she was on vacation and not in the middle of classes. Mills College which, according to Brooke’s flower shop friend, is “far enough away to live on campus, but close enough for Mom to drop in.” I had no idea Mills College had moved from the Bay Area to near Illinois, Ontario, Canada. A daughter who, I kid you not, is attending Mills College. Abby Knight, played by Brooke Shields, once knew the man who has since run on hard times.Īfter speaking in exposition dialog to introduce us to her, the flower shop called Bloomers, and her employee, Brooke sits down to have a talk with her daughter. It starts off by introducing us to a dead man walking named Elvis. It takes place in the small town of New Chapel, Illinois, which is only about 4,000 km by car from Eden Lake, Minnesota where Hannah Swenson runs her bakery. sign that just barely shows for a second before the camera pans up to the shot at the beginning of this review. They even directly reference this coffee house and it really exists on 473 Fraser Street North Bay, Ontario.įiguring out Littleton, New Hampshire goes to the Hunkins & Eaton Insurance Agency, Inc. They left plenty of local business names just lying around. While they do make sure the license plates are Illinois…Īnd American flags are even in the windows of motels… This time it was really easy to figure out. Unfortunately, I don’t know the city they show just before the title card. However, they did take down the Canadian flags that normally line that city’s Main Street. And look at all those American flags!!! Wow! I had no idea that North Bay, Ontario, Canada had a United States appreciation day where they take down all the Canadian flags that normally line the street to put up Old Glory. Actually, the city behind the title card is Littleton, New Hampshire, but the movie was done in North Bay, Ontario, Canada.
