Great premise, average results, enjoyable comedy !!!
9 February 2020
Her Alibi was a promising movie, having the Tom Magnum Selleck on leading role, an eye candy Paulina Poriskova, mystery, crime and comedy oriented, could be better, nevertheless has many holes in the screenplay, Selleck plays Phil Blackwood a successful writer over detective Peter Swift's cheaper novel, he wasn't inspired to write around four years, then prodded by his publisher he saw at a murder case where Nina Ionescu (Paulina) was charged by murder, he introduces to her as Priest, however it fails, then suggest to her as alibi on the night of the murder, since then he starts write his newest novel under Nina's character, however he ignores what's the real truth concealed behind of her, the Romanians embassy sent several agents (among them the great veteran actor Hurd Hatfield) to track down Nina's steps, many aspects displayed on the picture had a bit oddity, he was hit by arrow accidently or not, he afraid of her quite often, quite opposite on Magnum's character, he is slight presented as gay character, although the food poisoned sequence is really funny, also the horrible ending at circus scratch the picture, call my attention the marvelous song at ending credits "Falling In Love" sang by Randy Newman produced by his musical hero Jeff Lynne!!
