A fun, spoofy thriller, MURDER SHE PURRED is based on a book from Rita Mae Brown's popular MRS. MURPHY mystery series! In the spirit of AIR BUD, a crime-solving cat named Mrs. Murphy talks with her canine counterpart, Tucker ... and together, they conspire to help their unsuspecting owner, amateur sleuth Mary "Harry" Haristeen (Ricki Lake -- MRS. WINTERBOURNE), get to the bottom of some baffling local mysteries! So when there's a suspicious death in their cozy little Virginia town, Mrs. Murphy and Tucker become the secret accomplices in Harry's investigation! Your entire family will be entertained as this intrepid threesome set out to sort through the bizarre events, wild rumors, and shocking revelations that stand between them and the truth!

I love it when animals help solve mysteries!

I had seen this movie several years ago (and actually have all of Rita Mae and Sneaky Pie Brown's "Mrs. Murphy Mystery" books) and couldn't wait to get a copy of it for my movie collection. Now I only wish that more of the Mrs. Murphy Mysteries would be put on film too!

for corgi lovers the world over

this movie is delighful to watch over and over. I know every pet owner out there will enjoy seeing this.

Fantastic movie for kids 6 and above !! The cat and dog are great!

Great movie for kids; the cat (Mrs. Murphy) and the dog are great. My 6 1/2 year old daughter loved it!!! Good Disney Fun!

pleasant movie

This movie is simple, but the cat and dog are great. I do resent the fact that I can't take it over to DVD, considering it is out of print.

Cute Movie, But......

If you are a fan of the Mrs. Murphy series by Rita Mae Brown and Sneaky Pie Brown, then this is a must have movie for you. It was very cute and enjoyable. However, I felt that the casting left a little bit to be desired. While Ricki Lake did a good job acting, she just didn't capture the essence of Harry. For one thing, she was too feminine. Harry would never be caught dead wearing a jumper to just hang around or go to work at the Post Office in. Ricki Lake just wasn't outdoorsy enough. Someone like Janine Turner from Northern Exposure would've been a better choice. And the actor that portrayed Fair Haristeen, Harry's ex husband, did a very lame job. He made Fair appear wimpy. The character of Olivia "Boom Boom" Craycroft was portrayed as a total airhead...which if you've read the books, you will know that is not the case. I did, however, think that Bruce McGill made a perfect Sheriff Rick Shaw and Edie McClurg was absolutely wonderful as Miranda Hogendobber. She portrayed Miranda exactly how I pictured her to be.
Am I glad that I purchased the video to add to my Mrs. Murphy collection...Yes. But, I think that they could've done a much better job with it.
