Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great comedy.
Review: "Mrs. Peacock was a man?" This movie contains some of the best one-liners which I often find myself repeating for years and years later. A classic. Tim Curry steals the show! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Full of mystery and comedy
Review: I absolutely LOVED this movie. I thought it was exciting, entertaning, and fantastic. I thought that the idea of the different possibilities for the end was just great, and I could watch this movie 1,000 times, and still find new clues every time. This is one of the best comedies I have ever watched.

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Don't have a Clue why people love this movie
Review: I was really looking forward to watching this movie because I love the Clue books and game, but I was really disappointed. Why? Because Mr. Boddy was evil,the charactors were one dimensional, and the jokes were stupid.You could hardly tell Mr. Green from Professor Plum.NONE of the charactors wore their own color,so you kept forgeting who was who.Mrs. "White" was wearing BLACK! Even her hair was jet black! While the multiple endings were intriguing, none of them were very good.As far as I'm concerned, only one thing was funny,and it wasn't very funny.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: It WAS the third ending! (major spoilers)
Review: Clue is a great film, especially considering it is based on a board game. Madeline Kahn gets one of the best lines of her carrer when she explains why she killed Yvette. Now, here is why I think the third ending is correct.

A painting in the dining room shows "Mr. Boddy" in a butler's uniform.

Yvette says she is afraid because she also drank the cognac. According to the first ending, she was killing the cook in the kitchen while the guests were discussing the possibility of the cognac being poisoned.

In the second ending, Mrs. Peacock turns off the electricity, but when it is turned off she is still in the basement.

I believe that "Wadsworth" got wet in the shower, ran downstairs, shot the girl, and then ran back upstairs so he could return from his floor with the others to avoid suspicion. Mr. Green called the cops offscreen and probably did some manipulating to further confuse the case and keep everyone busy.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Way underrated.
Review: One of my favorite movies of all time. This is hilarious. The script is great, the performances are amazing, the setting is perfect and the one-liners are countless. "Flames, on the side of my face!"

Rating: 4 stars
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.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Fan Freakin Tastic!!!
Review: Need I say more? I have seen this movie about one hundred times and it's still great!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The Funniest Movie Ever?
Review: There's hardly anything left to say about this movie - the cast is superb, the plot hilarious etc etc etc. At the moment I've just torn myself away from the TV which my brothers have commandeered to watch the movie for what must be the 50th time since we got the DVD (which was yesterday).

A lot of comedies you can watch several times over in a row and then get bored with the funny lines and so forth. The only exceptions to this rule seem to be most of the "Pink Panther" series and "Clue".

Every time you watch this film you'll find new humour in the lines, body expressions and marvellous work by everyone involved in the production. Almost every line in the script is funny (especially just before the dinner scene and Tim Curry's explanation of the crime). As with many great comedies, the most hilarious lines are the mundane ones - just delivered with a superb inflection. These are among the funniest:

Cop: I just said that so you'd open the door

Wadsworth: I know because I was there

Mr Green: Is that what we ate?

Professor Plum: Of course it is, I'll show you

Mrs White: Mine or other women's?

Wadsworth: Would you be so kind as to wait in the er..um..er..library?

Of course, there are some great pieces of dialogue which are funny even without context:

Mustard: Is there somebody else in this house or not? Yes or no? Wadsworth: Yes..er..no (eventually) Mustard: That's what he says but does he know? (eventually) Peacock: The police will be here soon and there are two dead bodies in the study!!

Plum: The door is locked Green: I know Plum: So open it Green: I don't have the key Plum: Never mind about the key, unlock the door!

And so on it goes. All the endings make sense with the clues as given and most of the historical details stack up (although I'm not too sure about the black cop in 1954).

Moments to watch for: Wadsworth "breaking the door down" The expression on Wadsworth's face after being told he could be killed Mr Green's clumsiness Wadsworth's conclusion and many more

The conclusion is absolutely superb - being Tim Curry's frantic one-man logic explaining all the evnts of the movie ("and you'd had a letter and you'd had a letter and you'd had a letter") featuring the most amazing running about that I've seen in a long time. Seeing him come out of the fridge and having Green deliver the immortal line "I didn't do it" before Curry - lying on the floor - declares "by now she was dead" is a treat well worth the price of the DVD.

You'd be insane not to buy this DVD right now - it'll serve you well for years to come.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Clue is a blast blablabla
Review: Clue is............... AWSOME. Clue surprised me. I expected it to be a sort of comedy like most, but it is really awsome. Let me discuss the cast. Eileen Brennan-Mrs. Peacock Mrs. Peacock is very good in the movie. She displays a sort of dry humor, as well as frantic nervousness, Tim Curry-Wadsworth Okay, I'm prejudice. I love Tim Curry in all movies, but he is the best here. His butler is sort of the smart one, but he is also the silliest. Madeline Kahn-Mrs. White Mrs. White is a nice relief, since it could've been a maid, but E'vette took that role. She isn't too funny, but is a supporting figure. Chirstopher Lloyd-Proffesor Plum Lets face it. Plum stinks. His charcater isn't very funny. It's not Christopher Lloyd's fault. He is also a little too..... well, you know. Michael McKean-Mr. Green Mr. Green is very amusing he is often the victim of Wadsworth in the final explanation, and McKean does that well. He is also a bumbling fellow throughout. Martin Mull-Colonel Mustard Colonel Mustard is not funny. But, he often has good exchanges with Wadsworth, such as "Is anybody else in the house?" Lesly Ann Warren-Miss Scarlet Miss Scarlet is not a great character. She isn't very good at anything, except an occasional witty line or two. Colleen Camp-E'vette There isn't much good to say. She is just a stupid maid. Moving right along...... Lee Ving--Mr. Boddy Not much is expected from Mr. Boddy in this film. However, Lee Ving delivers the "not much" with a very great style. Clue also brings together a list of funny characters in a funny story. The whole they're dead, let's go, is so funny. The extras (cop, motorist, etc.) are good to. The man near the end (police chief, religous missionary) is very funny too. The record songs aren't bad either. The one ending I don't like is the one near the end, where Mr. Boddy/Wadsworth dies. After all, he's my favorite!
