Coming into this particular movie, I was a fan of Darrow Mysteries. Tom Cavanaugh usually makes such a good quirky character. And usually he and Williams-Paisley play well off each other. Not in this one.
There are so many things wrong with the story I don't have the patience to list them. Not the least of these is the developing romance where the characters also act like Middle Schoolers. The court scenes come off like the juvenile's take on a Perry Mason episode.
Given the writing, it is hard to judge the acting or the directing, but I tend to think the directing isn't much better.
The mystery has it's good moments, but it's hard to appreciate them given everything else.
