About This Movie

Almost Partners from 1987 is a quirky blend of crime and family dynamics, capturing a suburban longing for adventure. Molly McCue, played with a charming mix of innocence and determination, stirs up a modest mystery when her grandfather's ashes go missing. The pacing feels a bit uneven at times, but it kind of adds to the charm, as we follow her unlikely partnership with a seasoned NYC detective. There's something about the way the film juxtaposes the mundane with the thrill of sleuthing that feels refreshingly offbeat. The performances carry a certain warmth, and the low-key practical effects lend an earnestness that modern films sometimes overlook. Not your run-of-the-mill detective story, but it offers a unique slice of life wrapped in a light-hearted caper.
