The beginning was confusing. I had to check IMDB to see if this wasn't a sequel to something else. The movie should have given more clarification on who these two women and their husbands are, and Reilly's relationship with her novelist mother.
Another confusing thing was the cosplaying. It was difficult to differentiate, at first, between the participants and their roles. I wouldn't do a cosplay scenario until all of the participants' normal characters have been established.
It was funny, though, watching the multiple plot lines. Reilly investigates a murderess at the same time her husband investigates a thieving con man, all while an innocent couple falls in love as they solve the fake mystery, and a European couple tries desperately to solve the fake mystery first.
The movie could have done without the bookmarks, though.
