Who would of thought a board game could turn into such an entertaining movie? Especially the novel idea of having different endings (originally the ending was changed depending on what theater you attended.) Now, thankfully, with DVD you can see all the endings! Many great actors and actresses appear in this production. Viewers will enjoy the maid outfit as well.

Based on the popular board game "Clue" various people are invited to a mysterious old house. Similar to the movies "Then There Were None" and "Murder by Death" they must ban together to find out who killed Mr. Body and why. Every guest of course carries their won secret; the secrets get reviled at strategic moments.

The movie is peppered with one liners and double entendres. Wadsworth (Tim Curry) holds it together.

Wadsworth: Professor Plum, you were once a professor of psychiatry specializing in helping paranoid and homicidal lunatics suffering from delusions of grandeur.

Professor Plum: Yes, but now I work for the United Nations.

Wadsworth: Then your work has not changed.

In the theater you got one of three endings they are all on the DVD so you will not have to buy three DVD's

...and it's a good thing too because I know this review will get slammed with them.

A good, no, make that a GREAT cast is utterly wasted (not to mentioned completely embarrassed) in this dreadful piece of movie making which, judging by all the rave reviews it is getting here, proves once again that the lowest common denominator will win out.

This is little more than lowbrow slapstick in the guise of using a classic board game as a gimmick to sell it. The characters are so flat, so one dimensional, that even the superb cast members playing them (Eileen Brennan and the wonderful Madeline Kahn are the most noteworthy) can't breath much life into them and the writing of the script comes across like it was done by a computer that had every single slapstick routine programed into it. The end result is a movie utterly lacking in any sense of creativity or imagination.

Dreadful and simply quite painful to watch.

"Clue" is a hilarious murder-mystery, based on the venerable Parker Brothers game. The familiar characters are stranded in a very peculiar mansion on a stormy night...and then the killings begin.

The intricate plot supports three (!) valid endings, each naming a different cast member as the villanous murderer. The DVD can be set to play a random ending, or all three (I go with random).

The cast is superb, and the script sparkles with wit. Tim Curry gives a magnificent performance as the mysterious butler, Wadsworth, while Christopher Lloyd is also hilarious as a doctor with a shady past.

For a fun night of movie-watching, Clue can't be beat. Five stars!

Clue, made in 1985, is probably the best movie you've never seen in your life. Based on the hit board game from Parker Brothers, this movie features an incredible mix of mystery, suspense, and comedy, which you probably won't find in any other movie. I've seen this movie countless times, and it never gets old. And everytime I watch it, I always notice something different about it.

The story takes place in 1954 New England. A group of people are all invited to a dinner party in a huge Victorian-style mansion. This particular group of people all have one thing in common: they're all being blackmailed by the same person. When everyone finds out who the blackmailer is, someone tries to kill him, but we don't see because the lights are turned out. So that begins the whole "Whodunit?" part of the storyline. What's cool about this movie is that there are actually 3 different endings. When you first play the movie on your DVD player, it gives you the option of playing all 3 endings, or just randomly picking one of them. Unfortunately, since this movie is now 20 years old, there's virtually no bonus features on the DVD, just the theatrical trailer.

The cast is awesome in this movie, and all of the actors did a brilliant job of being serious and funny at the same time. Tim Curry steals the show with his roll as Wadsworth, the butler. The rest of the main characters are adapted from the board game, including Colonel Mustard (Martin Mull), the sultry Mrs. White (played to perfection by Madeline Kahn), Professor Plum (Christopher Lloyd), the lovely Miss Scarlet, who has that "diamonds are a girl's best friend" attitude, played by Lesley Ann Warren, the crazy Mrs. Peacock (Eileen Brennan), and the obnoxious homosexual Mr. Green (Michael McKean). There are other characters that are made solely for the movie, including Lee Ving as Mr. Boddy, and of course you can't forget Yvette (Colleen Camp), the stunningly sexy French maid whose breasts are too big for her uniform.

In conclusion, this movie is definitely worth the money, and all of the suspense and comedy will have you hooked for the entire 90 minutes! 5 stars.
