Summary: The funniest UNpopular film of the 1990s!
Review: Clue is Paramount Pictures' comedic film rendering of the classic Parker Brothers board game of the same name. But don't let that dissuade you from seeing this one. Although you'll recognize the chromatic character names, unlikely murder weapons, and Victorian mansion settings, tracking down the murderer in the movie version of Clue requires a good deal more than a deck of cards and a notepad. (It's a lot more fun this way, too.)Involving the talents of seven of Hollywood's funniest funny people, including Madeline Kahn as Mrs. White, Christopher Lloyd as Professor Plum, and Tim Curry as Wadsworth, the requisite butler, the film is guaranteed to keep you laughing. The script is packed with sparklingly witty exchanges, such as this one between Wadsworth and an angry Colonel Mustard (Martin Mull): Mustard: Are you trying to make me look stupid in front of the other guests? Wadsworth: You don't need any help from me. Mustard: That's right! Later in the picture, as the by-now-blasé guests glance down at the most recent victim, Mr. Green (Michael McKean) updates the count to "Six murders." Wadsworth's grave response? "This is getting serious." And Wadsworth's explanation of "who killed whom where and with what" at the end of the picture is packed with the impersonations, facial expressions, and things not-quite-British that rank Tim Curry among the funniest Britons ever to defect to Hollywood. Madeline Kahn, too, liberally sprinkles commentaries, both vocal and facial, into any and all situations, the sheer spontaneity of which make one wonder whether or not they're actually in the script. The line in the show which had me laughing the hardest, anyway, was not really a line at all, but rather a high-pitched, yodeling scream from Mrs. White. (You'll know it when you hear it.) And her operatic descant over the guests' chorus of "For She's a Jolly Good Fellow" had me rolling in the aisle. Another facet of the movie, disguised by the humor, but every bit as important to one's enjoyment of the film, is the maze of leads, lies, and leaps of logic which ultimately culminates in not one, but three possible answers as to "Whodunnit." And here's the amazing part: each of the three endings (I checked) stands up to close scrutiny of the clues provided earlier in the film. From the time Wadsworth verifies Yvette's mysterious "instructions" until the last pull of the trigger, each minute detail is essential to the plot. A word of warning to the dedicated popcorn-munching detective: the guests at this dinner party are all experts at using comedy to distract. While you're busy laughing at Miss Scarlet in the ballroom, a desperate dinner guest wielding a monkey wrench is hurrying through the secret passage to the study, trying to silence that unfortunate motorist before he says too much.... The film isn't perfect-the physical humor becomes strained at times, and there are a very few lines whose comedic and textual value I question. Still, the film bears enough good comedy and old-fashioned mystery, garnished with a sound track that adds just the right spice to the flavor of both humor and suspense, to earn a "five-star comedy" rating from me.

Summary: Frank N Furter + David St. Hubbins = CLUE!!!
Review: What can I say that has not already been said in any review here? This is a BWILLIANT (Rik?) cult movie on the same level as "Rocky Horror" and "Spinal Tap". In fact, the reason that I use these movies as an example is... two of the cast members of Clue: Tim Curry= Frank N Furter/Wadsworth
Michael McKean= David St. Hubbins/Mr. Green To have been on the set with those 2 performers alone would have been a gift for me. This movie rocks my multiverse!!! Thank you...

Summary: One of my all time favorite movies
Review: I remember seeing this movie in the theater when i was 5 years old and i fell in love with it. i bought the board game and when it came out on tape i watched it like a 100 times. very funny and inventive movie. i love it that they decided to make a movie version of the classic board game with an all star cast and made it very funny. The story is about the 6 notorious characters getting invited to boddy mansion over a black mail matter and discover mr. body the weapons are then introduced then the fun begins. Everyone of these actors are commic gienous and played these characters right down to the T. col. mustard is Martin Mull, Eilleen Brennan is Mrs. Peacock. Tim Curry is the wadsworth the buttler, Leslie ann Warren is Miss Scarlett(perfect casting) Mrs. White is the wonderfull Madaline Kahn(wonderfully played) Mr.Green is the ever funny Michael Mckean and prof. plum is Christopher lloyd. The video and DVD versions have three surprise endings and the theatrical ending was different in each theater. alot of odd ball sittuations and silly circumstances all surrounding murder. rent this or buy it if youve seen it. its a very fun movie and it can be watched over and over again just for fun. so to make the long story short(To late!) Get this movie :)

Summary: When writers didn't have to rely on four letter words...
Review: Clue, starring Tim Curry, Christopher Lloyd, Martin Mull, and others, is a classic 'who dunit' comedy. Based on the board game of the same name, Clue takes a cast of characters named after colors, puts them in a mansion, and then lets them trip over each other as they try to figure out who killed 'Mr. Body'. One of the most impressive aspects of this movie is that it works as both a mystery and a comedy. Clue is filled with hints, and 'red herrings' to borrow a phrase from the movie. In its original release, Clue was shot with three alternate endings. Different endings were distributed to the theaters. On the VHS copy of the movie, all three movies were added to the end of the movie. You can play the DVD the same way, or select an option for your player to select an ending at random. It is also rather refreshing to see a comedy that doesn't rely soley on four letter words, bodily functions, sex jokes, and toilet humor to elicit laughs. Clue definitely earns its PG rating, but I wouldn't be ashamed to show this movie to my niece. My only real complaint about the DVD is that it is sorely lacking in the extras that make DVD's so popular. There is no director's commentary (or a commentary from anyone for that matter), no deleted scenes, and no making of featurette. If Paramount follows the lead of many other titles released on DVD, I can't help but imagine there will be a 'Collector's Edition' of Clue released in the future with many of these features added, forcing the true fan to shell out [more money] to get the 'ultimate' copy of the movie. Clue is an entertaining, funny, mystery and comedy. I've viewed it a dozen times and I'm just starting to catch all the jokes and running gags. Tim Curry's role as Wadsworth is fantastic and his expostion in all three endings as he reveals who did it and how is priceless. I would recommend this movie to any comedy or light hearted mystery fan.

Summary: "Everything alright? Yup, two corpses, everything's fine"
Review: This entire movie is made of hilarious dialogue that is delivered with perfection by actors who were casted perfectly. Mrs. White: He didnt seem to like me very much he had threatened to kill me in public.
Miss Scarlet: Why would he want to kill you in public?
Wadsworth: I think she meant, he threatened in public to kill her. Colonel Mustard: Wadsworth, am I right in thinking there is no body else in this house?
Wadsworth: Ummm, no.
Colonel Mustard: Then there is someone else in this house?
Wadsworth: No, sorry. I said no meaning yes.
Colonel Mustard: No meaning yes? Look I want a straight answer, is there someone else, or isn't there? Yes or no?
Wadsworth: Ummm, no.
Colonel Mustard: No there is, or no there isn't?
Wadsworth: Yes. Wadsworth: We're like the Mounties; we always get our man.
Mr. Green: Mrs. Peacock was a man? Colonel Mustard: How many husbands have you had?
Mrs. White: Mine or other women's?
Colonel Mustard: Yours.
Mrs. White: Five.
Colonel Mustard: Five?
Mrs. White: Yes, just the five. Husbands should be like Kleenex: soft strong and disposable.
Colonel Mustard: You lure men to their deaths like a spider with flies.
Mrs. White: Flies are where men are most vulnerable.
Colonel Mustard: Right! SPOILER BELOW IF YOU HAVEN'T SEEN IT Mr. Green: So it was you. I was going to expose you.
Wadsworth: I know. So I chose to expose myself.
Colonel Mustard: Please, there are ladies present.

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: It was CLUE in the living room with the VCR
Review: OK...I've seen this movie like a million times so I feel that I can offer a fair review: Clue is probably one of the funniest movies I've ever seen in my life. And yes, it has some plot holes and other problems, but who cares? It offers safe, intelligent fun; quick pacing, and all around murdurous laughs. The cast is perfect chemistry (Curry as butler Wadsworth is satisfying enough alone- "there was a rumble of thunder and a crah of lightening") and the ensemble is great: Warren as Miss Scarlet is perfect in the role because of her laid back reactions and fun head-bobbing ("I enjoy getting presents from strange men...") ; Brennan plays the perfect neortic Mrs. Peacock ("and oh my, this soup is delicious, isn't it?"); Kahn shines as the black widow, Mrs. White ("is that chair for you, Mr. Wadsworth?", McKean plays the perfect quasi-homosexual ("we have to find out which one of YOU did it..."), Lloyd masters the uptight Prof. Plum ("What's the phone number?") and Mull personifies Col. Mustard ("I can't take anymore scares!") This movie is quick-witted, well acted and well-paced. The physical comedy wears a bit thin at times, but is compensated by the actors abilty keep the attention of the viewer. Just as a good mystery should, the movie hides details so that watching it just once won't ruin it for the rest of the time. Pay attention to the clues in the rooms (such as the picture in the dining room, and the picture in the pile that gets thrown into the fire in the Study)and details in the dialouge, not so much to figure out the murder, but to grasp a full knowledge of the era, each characters background (such as the connection between Scarlet and the maid) and hidden tidbits of fun. Keeping true to the format of the boardgame, there are such lines as "We have to find out who did it and where and with what", the placement of the rooms (although the movie adds 3 more floors to the house- the basement, the upstairs and the attic; and the secret passages (we know these cant really exist because of the house's floor plan, but who cares, they're essential to the movie. Watch for goofs, such as the order of the women changes when they enter the study to find mr. boddy missing, and the diappearing/reaapearing pot on the stove in the kitchen. Iwas dissapointed, however, when the DVD came out and there were no deleated scenes included. There has to be, the choppy editing in the last 10 minutes of the 3rd ending suggests that it was edited for time, plus the trailor includes scenes that are definatly not in the released version of the movie. Enjoy!

Summary: Absurdly funny-get a CLUE!!!!!!
Review: I discovered this movie by accident a few years ago. I was flipping through the tv and noticed Tim Curry. I am a fan of this talented actor, so I tuned in. Boy, was I in for a treat.I am a fan of the board game so I instantly knew the characters. I laughed so hard I nearly choked during many parts of this movie. I loved the part when Ms. Scarlett and one of the guys are stuck in the study and Wadsworth(Tim Curry) shouts,"I'll break down the door!" He proceeds to run and throw himself against the door and fly backwards. The script and casting are terrific. It is a movie that is family friendly. Any age viewer would love this movie.

Summary: Hilarious Murder Mystery with "inter-changeable" Conclusion
Review: The characters in this hilarious Murder Mystery can be out-done only by the superb cast of actors protraying them. Tim Curry, Martin Mull, Howard Hessman, Madeline Khan and others are fantastic, but Eileen Brennan steals the show. If murder wasn't such a serious matter, you would forget all about the unfortunate victim(s), because it's hard to catch a breath between belly-laughs. This comedy feast was prepared by inspiration from the board game of the same name. Like in the game, nothing is written in stone. Anybody could have done the bloody deed. The DVD version includes the alternate endings, giving 3 different explanations leading to the killer. For fans of Agatha Christie style mysteries, this is one not to miss! A gem!*****
