Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

In for a Murder (2021)

Starts out super-fun -- reminded me a lot of "Only Murders in the Building." Magda is a bored housewife who comes across a dead body when walking her dog. Her interest is piqued, especially as a necklace she'd bought her best friend years back was seen on the dead woman in photos. There's gentle humor and a good-natured/non-dangerous veneer over everything.

But there's nothing new here. The mystery is exactly what we expect and the wrap-up is like an afterthought. Disappointing.
