Tanya’s Score: Good-and-a-half*
Rated: 14A
Starring: Mr. Meester; an actress born in my hometown
Plot: A washed up former kid detective, now an adult (Adam Brody), receives a major case when a naive teen (Sophie Nélisse) hires him to solve her boyfriend’s murder. Little does he realize that it will open old wounds.
Tanya’s Verdict: Where has this little film been hiding? It has a unique premise and the story remains compelling from beginning to end. Plus, despite not being a comedy, it’s laugh out loud funny in parts. Our family enjoyed this Canadian-made gem!
