I've loved Anne Morgan Guilbert way back since when she played Miller Helper on The Dick Van Dyke Show. She's a terrific comic actress.

This movie was so bad there is no chance for a sequel. It could have been so good, too. Damn.
The casting was way off. They resorted to over playing some scenes and lost the humor. Grandma shooting the turkey for example. The books humor came from understating the over the top situation with wry humor.
Did the screen writer and casting director acutally read the books? Reading only one did not work. They needed to read several to get the gist.

I just finally watched this on Epix. Wrong casting,totally. Ranger doesn't smile. Morelli was ok. The rest yuck. I hate when my books are ruined when turned into movies.

I didn't bother to see it but a friend of mine did and agrees with what has been said here. By the way, I'm reading Number 19 right now. I'm enjoying it more than I enjoyed the last few.
