Summary: We have to figure out who killed him, where, and with what!
Review: Six guests each receive letters instructing them to come to dinner at a mansion, and assigning each of them an alias to use for their own protection. There, they meet Wadsworth, the very efficient butler, Yvette, the very buxom maid, and Mr. Boddy, the very mysterious host to them all. Each guest is handed a weapon, and then....the lights go out! When they come back on, Mr. Boddy is dead, and one of the people in the room is a murderer. But....who? As the mystery unfolds, the death toll grows. ("Six murders...this is getting serious.") The cast of characters is absolutely hilarious, each reacting to the situation in their own -- sometimes psychotic -- way. The best part of the movie has to be Tim Curry's performance as the butler, as he attempts to keep the kitchen tidy in the midst of the chaos. His perfect comedic timing as the deadpan Wadsworth makes the movie worth watching over and over again. Finally, the mystery is solved -- in three different ways! Choose the ending you like the best, although all three are hilarious endings to a great movie. END

Summary: Definately the best board-game based movie that there is!
Review: "Colonel Mustard in the Conservatory with the wrench!" This accusation is commonplace for anyone evn remotely familiar with the board game of "Clue". This popular classic was transformed into a relatively unsuccessful movie about twelve years back. In keeping with the original plot of the game, many of the components remain the same: a crew of colorful characters, an imposing mansion with secret passageways, a multitude of weapons, and murder, or to be precise, six murders mingled with an underlying plot of blackmail. In addition to this, "Clue" contains hundreds of great one-liers, slapstick humor, and a handful of red herrings, all of which are pulled off smoothly by an all-star cast. Perhaps the most enticing feature of this movie is its conclusion. It contains three different endings that diverge from a common point in the movie, truly giving the audience a fair chance to figure out "whodunit". END

Summary: Get a Clue -- Get this DVD!
Review: "Clue" (the movie), features just about every great comedy actor of the day. From Leslie Ann Warren to Michael McKean to Eileen Brennan to Howard Hessman to the priceless Tim Curry, they're all here! -- If you are familiar with the board game, just picture a film version of the search for "whodunit". This laugh-a-minute fun fest is loaded with outragous, silly slapstick, superbly acted out by the great cast. -- You'll be amazed at how many of the lines and gags get stuck in your head. I'll never be able to forget the flusterd looks of Mrs. Peacock, the wit and charm of Wadsworth or the subtle facial expressions of Mrs. White. The picture in this WIDE SCREEN VERSION is the best yet of this film since it's initial release. -- The soundtrack is kept in it's original mono, still I'd greatly enjoy hearing a stero or, even better, a surround sound version in the future.--Without a doubt the best feature of this DVD is the one with the multiple endings. After you select "play" you will be asked if you would lilke the player to randomly choose one of the three endings for you, or see all three of them at the end. Whoever thought of this feature deserves a raise as it greatly enhances the longevity of the disc and brings the film closer to it's board game roots. Now you have the option of really not knowing who did it until the final scenes play bringing suprise into the untold repeat viewings that are sure to occur. -- Get a clue--get this DVD! You won't be disappointed! *****

Summary: Wish I could give it 4 1/2
Review: 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.

Summary: What Wadsworth witnessed
Review: 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

Summary: This movie shakes, rattles, and rolls!!!
Review: 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.

Summary: Five Stars???? Please People. You CAN'T Be Serious!
Review: Looking over this page at Amazon I am stunned, aghast, and whatever other similar words one can think of over all the rave reviews for this dreadful movie.
Sure, the idea had to of sounded good in the early stages -- take a first rate cast (just the notion of putting wonderful comic actresses such as Eileen Brennan and Madeline Kahn in the same movie is pure genius) and put them in a parody of a murder mystery. Should work wonders right?
Think again. Somebody forgot to give these actors a decent script as they spend approximately an hour and a half doing little but running around a big mansion screaming like hyperactive kids on one massive sugar rush, and trying desperately to get laughs out of tired old slapstick routines. It also becomes apparent very quickly that since the characters in this roadkill of a movie are taken after the characters of the board came on which the movie is based that there was no need to write them in any memorable way. Their being cardboard characters in the game seemed to be enough reason to make them cardboard characters in the movie.
Despite the fact that each and every one of them is utterly wasted, the cast alone MIGHT be enough to maybe, charitably, give this movie two stars, but SOMEBODY has to make an effort to get this average rating back down to earth where it belongs.
