I went out on a blind limb to see this movie, having never seen the television show it originated from and not knowing a single thing about it besides some of the actors present. It was a good decision on my part. The film continues ten years after the show and it did a great job on getting me caught up with the story. I'm still fuzzy on character names and relationships, but that's not the focus here. This is an involving murder mystery filled with smart characters and snappy dialogue. There's a great balance to the drama and comedy. I felt a real sense of danger, at times, and laughed out loud at several jokes. The experience has made me want to watch the show. That's a huge credit to the film.
