Summary: good fun
Review: If you are a fan of old mystery novels/movies such as Charlie Chan, Agatha Christie, Sam Spade, etc, this is a MUST SEE. It pokes fun at the whole mystery genre while still being enjoyable by those who aren't totally into mysteries.Peter Sellers gives a great performance to top it off!

Summary: Best murder mystery parody ever! Right up there with "Clue."
Review: This was THE MOST awesome murder mystery parody since I saw "Clue." It's hysterically funny, and sorta pokes fun at fictional detectives. I quote the lines all the time- "My hats off to the man with the siv in his back... 'cept for the fact that he's dead, he was no dope..."

Summary: "Did you see that?..."
Review: "...Neither did I." I'll start with the obvious--'Murder by Death' is hilarious. Which can be credited, no doubt, to Neil Simon. My first exposure to Simon was the tremendously funny 'Prisoner of Second Avenue', in which a husband and wife swap quips over which one of them was responsible for letting their place be burglarized. After reading that Simon had written the script, I knew that I had to see this. Add to that the fact that I've loved mysteries all my life, was raised on them, in fact, since infancy, and it's no wonder that I had high hopes. Simon didn't let me down and neither did the ensemble cast. I could tell you about the tremendous one liners, as I had read about them before viewing the film myself, but really you must hear the way the actors throw them out. If the ones recited by the reviewers here make you chuckle, I can almost guarantee that you will be holding your stomach and wiping your eyes when you actually watch the movie. It's delightful, truly! I just know I'll be going around for days with some of the lines on my tongue, waiting for an excuse to use them. If you liked 'Clue', as many others have mentioned, you must watch, no, own, 'Murder by Death.' It's one of those movies that invites you to set a date and watch it every year with a small group of friends.

Summary: Classic
Review: It's been over 10 years since I saw this movie. I was glad to see it had reached DVD and just had to snatch a copy up. Althought the sound quality is not what I am used to. No DTS or even 5.1 here.
The picture is very clear on my 55" Mitsubishi. If you want a good time classic with a bucket of popcorn, then this is your movie.

Summary: Hercule Colombo and CO.
Review: This Film is a parody of all detective stories we can imagine, in literature, in the cinema and on TV. So we jump from one Colombo to another Hercule Poirot and many others, with their accents and their idiosyncrasies. But what's more all those private eyes and detectives are gathered in some strange house to solved a mystery murder they will never be able to solve but it will reveal that every one of them is in a way some kind of crook because his or her private life is just the antagon of what the private eyes in them represent in our culture : honesty and rectitude, the fight against crime. This gives us a very hilarious and absolutely entertaining film to be consumed in moderation not to choke on your own laughing.

Summary: That can only mean one thing, and I don't know what it is!
Review: This has been my favorite movie since I was a kid. The actors are all suited for the rolls perfectly. Some of the jokes are so subtle it has to be watched more than once to catch them. (Nice to see you again Ah Wang!) I recommend this movie to any mystery or comedy lover. It's a classic!

Summary: "Nicky, don't let him park the car."
Review: Wonderful, brilliant and light hearted funny movie with a list of stars of exceptional talent.I saw this film when it came out and it's still one of my favorites today. There are so many wonderful great one-liners that you'll find yourself repeating them to your friends. The comedy timing is perfect. Get this wonderful gem of a movie, sit back and enjoy. Well worth the money.

Summary: Hilarious!
Review: This is a hilarious movie that is prefect to watch after Clue. Makes jokes about mystery novels as you try to find out who-done-it out of a group invited to dinner. A great find!

Summary: "I hope he knows how to stop that thing..."
Review: I have loved this movie for years and rent it 3-4 times a year and never get tired of it. I am so happy to see that so many other people feel the same way; I thought I was crazy to be so delighted with this obscure movie no one had ever heard of. I've mentioned Murder by Death for years to people when movies come up and everyone gives me a blank stare. I think the whole movie is very well done: the acting is flawless, the writing, the setting (wonderful!), the mood (even more wonderful!). If you're into creepy old mansions and rainy nights and hilarious one-liners, you'll have a ball. Enjoy! p.s. I rented this movie once when I had just started dating a girl and she loved it, too. Needless to say I married her (and we still watch it!).
