This is one of my all-time favorite movies! Believe it or not, I actually use Clue as inspiration for my writing. Some of the comedy is so subtle that I'm still picking up on little tid bits 17 years later. For instance, Professor Plum (Christopher Lloyd) states, "No, I work for a branch of UNO, WHO, the World Health Organization." Since he pronouces UNO as "You Know", Professor Plum works for "You Know Who". But there's more blatant humor that has kept me rolling all these years: Mrs. White (Madeline Kahn), "I believe men should be like Kleenex: soft, strong, and disposable." Col. Mustard (Martin Mull), "Yep, two corpses. Everything's fine." Wadsworth (Tim Curry), "Mrs. White, no man in his right mind would want to be alone together with you." There's just way too much to go on.
The movie plays as both a mystery and a comedy, the two genres mixing extremely well in this spoof. One wishes the night to go on, with either more possible endings or another mystery entirely (hint: sequel). However, the three endings provided are extremely entertaining, the final displaying a wonderfully dramatic twist that keeps rolling with humor in transition. Mr. Green (Michael McKean), "I was going to expose you." Wadsworth, "I know, so I choose to expose myself." Col. Mustard, "Please, there are ladies present."
Who killed Mr. Boddy? Better yet, who did Mr. Boddy kill?
Wish I could give it 4 1/2
This timeless classic spoof pokes fun at all those serious action stars of the time. Besides the unprecedented triple ending, Eileen Brennan and Tim Curry take "trying too hard" to a new hilarious extreme. Even now, 15 years later, all my friends can still quote a line or too frum CLUE! Buy this for many a night of laughs and comedy, and invite your friends to solve the mystery with you!
This movie is about people invited to a mansion. they all assume names from the Parker Brothers hit game CLUE!. They don't know each other, but they all have similarities, and one is that they are being blackmailed by Mr. Boddy. Tim Curry plays the butler, Wadsworth. Pretty soon people in the mansion start turning up dead, and it's up to the kooky and hilarious house guests to determine the murderer(s). They must work with each other while being careful of each other and overcome obstacles liek the police, J. Edgar Hoover, a telegram girl, and a guy whose car broke down on the road.
Buy this if you like acting like a kid and forgetting about tough action movies, gruesome horror movies, and depressing dramas for a night. Each and every time you watch this, you notice new things. Many of the DVD features are cool, too. Check it out. Enjoy.
