Review of Mystery Team (2009) by Umaumai — 17 Mar 2021

I loved this movie. Definitely not for kids as there’s a drawn out, but hilarious, topless scene in a strip joint. The movie is a perfect blend of edgy dark comedy and Scooby-Doo sensibility for someone who grew up watching a lot of TV shows about kid detectives.

I really like how it’s not just fish out of water movie, but it’s grounded in reality with the people the main character interact with. The acting is fine, but the comic timing of Glover is fantastic.

There’s also a good message about getting out and doing something with your life that, while a bit heavy handed, still comes across a genuine. If your into crude humor and love the idea of having a twist on “The Gang Getting To The Bottom Of Mystery” tope then you will enjoy this.
