Synopsis

Spoiler shield

When a mentor and friend of Jennifer's dies, she and Jonathan return to the sleepy town where Jennifer once lived and worked as a reporter. Nearly immediately, they discover that all is not right within this picturesque town. The town's economic troubles pale next to the danger the Harts find themselves in as they try to sort out whether their friend's death was murder, and what sinister secrets may lie behind the truth.

Definitively better than <em>'Hart to Hart Returns'</em>, at least in my eyes. Still not all that good, though. <em>'Hart to Hart: Home Is Where the Hart Is'</em> has a more intriguing story and a nicer setting than its predecessor. It still takes the obvious path with the plot, which affected my overall enjoyment and stops it reaching a higher rating, but it has more to it at least. The cast, again, are likeable but forgettable. Stefanie Powers is the standout, while Robert Wagner surprisingly takes more a backseat in this film - as does Lionel Stander. Wagner is still involved for sure, but it felt more like a Powers film to me. The support cast are OK, at worst they are another improvement on last time out anyway. Interested to see what the third installment has to offer.
