THE HOLLYWOOD MOM’S MYSTERY This Hollywood Wife Gives "Desperate" a New Meaning! Golden Globe nominees Justine Bateman (Family Ties) and George Hamilton (Love at First Bite) star with Elizabeth Peña (Lone Star, Rush Hour) in this lighthearted mystery. Children’s book author Lucy Freers (Bateman) needs to sell her house, after her husband Kit (Andrew McCarthy) has produced several flops, and wants to write a book for adults. She gets her material when Julia (Angie Everhart), the trophy wife of sitcom star Woody Prentice (Hamilton), turns up dead in their pool, so Lucy must become an amateur sleuth. This adaptation of Lindsay Maracotta’s The Dead Hollywood Moms Society features Peña as Detective Theresa Shoe, who first suspects Kit, and then becomes Lucy’s unlikely ally. Approximately 87 minutes Color

This review is from: The Hollywood Mom's Mystery (DVD)

I have 3 words for those who are thinking of buying this movie: save your money!
Justine Bateman, who was so good and so cute as Mallory Keaton in "Family Ties" made a bad choice when she agreed to star in this bomb. It is badly written, amateurishly directed, choppy and disconnected. It goes from slow all the way to boring! The plot is thin, the dialogue worse.
Andrew McCarthy has almost a bit part in this waste of film, as Bateman's husband. Actually, he provides the best single scene in the whole sloppy thing, when Bateman dreams that her husband (McCarthy) is trying to kill her. He is fully menacing and intense, and this is the only good scene to be found anywhere in this nonsense.
The beginning is not so good, the ending is predictable and, well - boring!
I repeat: Save your money.
