Review of Clue (1985) by Gareth J — 01 Feb 2010
Was it Professor Plum, in the hall, with the lead pipe? Or Miss Scarlet, in the kitchen, with the rope? You'll know after.......80 minutes into the film.
This is a very silly film based on the Parker Brothers game, but it's silly enough that it can provide enough material and guessing throughout the duration of the film.
If you've played Clue when you were little, you'll know how the movie goes, somebody killed Mr. Body, they've gotta figure out who, but before the police arrive.
This movie has an all-star cast of Madeline Kahn, Tim Curry, Michael McKean, and Chistopher Lloyd to name a few, all who provide great comedic performances.
The disappointment of this movie, is that 70 minutes into the film, the butler (Tim Curry) does a whole summary in 7 minutes about the whole night and who did the multiple murders (yes, there are more murders then just Mr. Body, there's the cook, the maid, the singing telegram girl, the motorist and a cop)but to make up for this flaw in the movie, it provides you with three possible endings, all which make sense.
Overall 80/100.
Acting 78/100.
Mystery 96/100.
Story 0/100 (It's based on a frickin' game).
Grade: B: not a bad movie based on a game.
