This movie is both entertaining and funny. The plot switches back and forth from a husband and wife team writing a murder mystery to a set of parallel events that occur in their lives. Similar to movies in the 1930s, the pace of events quickens throughout the movie.
Performances by the actors are excellent. In particular, the two juvenile actors were quite strong.On the negative, the exposition of the plot at the beginning is a little quick and could have used a bit more structure to establish the convention being employed. Over time, the use of malaprops by one of the central characters, while very clever, becomes a little tedious and could have used some judicious editing.
The cinematography and production values are excellent and the movie is well crafted. On the whole, the movie is a terrific first effort and is highly recommended.
