Remember those great series of the 80's like Hart to Hart, Moonlighting. MacMillan & Wife and so on? Complete escapist fun with a romantic twist. This one is extra special because it takes place on the magnificent island of Malta. The scenery is a feast for the eyes and the local culture is beautifully embraced. Lacey Chabert & Will Kemp are wonderful together. Their chemistry is easy and natural. There are several showcase scenes in the film including a very sexy water tango scene where Bailey & Sebastian practice their dance in a shallow pool overlooking the island. And a dream sequence dance number done in 40's style black & white, harkening back to the days of Fred & Ginger. All in all, good fun and doesn't take itself too seriously.

Constance Bailey (Lacey Chabert) is a no-nonsense detective who prefers to work alone. When a high-profile CEO is murdered on the eve of his company's corporate event in Malta - a high stakes ballroom competition between senior executives - Detective Bailey is sent undercover as one of the contestants. The only problem? She can't dance. To convincingly compete, she must team up with charismatic and free-spirited performer Sebastian Moore( Will Kemp). But with a killer on the loose and a growing list of suspects, it's going to take more than a little fancy footwork to solve this case. The mystery elements are simplistic, a little lacking in intrigue and you are likely to work out who the culprit is, however I found this quite fun to watch, mainly due to the Malta location, Lacey Chabert-charming as ever - and her chemistry with Will Kemp, and the old time classic film feel. It could have been stronger with the mystery and the characterisation, but it's enjoyable and the combination of Ballroom and mystery is a good idea.

I was really looking forward to a new movie with Lacey Chabert and Will Kemp. I know these 2 are wonderful together so it was just an awful script. The disjointed plot, the sequence of events and the dialog was terrible. I was hoping it would be a series but it's going to have to improve tenfold. It was as if they were short on time and cut out entire scenes that were integral to the flow of the movie. What a downer. I've seen every Hallmark movie starring these actors so I know they are fantastic together but I guess even their chemistry can't save a bad movie. Please give them some decent material to work with next time! If you get the chance, watch them in Love, Romance & Chocolate and Christmas Waltz. I have watched these movies many times over! Absolutely love both the acting and the scripts!

What was Hallmark thinking? I don't know where to begin describing all that is wrong with this movie. Lacey Chabert looked like an old lady. I was embarrassed for her and all the actors. That chase on the scooters was a joke. I couldn't stop laughing!!! The acting was stiff and forced between all the actors. The plot was clumsy and disjointed. Hallmark has gone down hill. So many of the so-called "new" movies are just remakes of old story lines. No point in watching them. They canceled Garage Sales Mysteries, Mystery 101, Hailey Dean Mysteries, Picture Perfect Mysteries, Matchmaker Mysteries, all excellent series. The 2 new mysteries, The Dancing Detective and The Jane Mysteries are both awful.
