Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great Movie! Everyone should see!
Review: I was on vacation in California and I had never seen the movie before. Well the Nuart center they were performing the movie live. I must say it was wonderful! Colleen Camp was there. It was so amazing I can't even explain it! If you haven't seen the movie you HAVE to see it!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Hillarious and more complex than the game!
Review: Clue is based on the classic mystery solving board game. In the movie, the original suspects come into a complex adventure that takes you further than the game would. The story follows as a group of people are invited to Mr. Boddy's mansion. Boddy claims to have called them on financial business. But when the six people discover that they have to use a covername given to them and find it mysterious that the host is taking forever to arrive, they get suspicious. Finally, Boddy arrives and presents them with objects that can be used as weapons (the revolver, candlestick, etc.). He turns off the lights and tells them to kill him. Not even the strong Colonel Mustard could do a thing like that but when they turn on the lights, Boddy is dead! The clan and Boddy's butler (the hillarious Tim Curry)go out to find whodunit and realize there is someone else in the mansion!
This movie is full of suspense, adventure, and laughter making it a must see! And the best part is you can try to solve the mystery on your own through the movie if you so desire!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Comedy + Mystery = Brilliant!
Review: This is one of the funniest movies of all time. It combines the genres of comedy and mystery into a hilariously entertaining whole. The dialogue is fast, clever, and chock full of subtle humor. There is plenty of physical comedy too. The story line is well written and the alternate endings are wonderful. All the endings are possible, I went back and saw who was where and it worked! The actors are all brilliant and they can say so much with just a look. Tim Curry as the butler was simply a pleasure to watch! This is one movie that didn't get the attention it deserved. Perfect to watch anytime!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: CAST CAST CAST
Review: Need I say more? This movie is sooo brilliant that I know almost every line by heart. The cast is absolutely superb...you simply can't find a better comedy ensemble anywhere.
Of course the premise is absurd, but I never tire of watching the brilliance of the actors and what they do with the lines. One of my favorite all-time films. SEE IT!!! and prepare to laugh.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: a classic
Review: i am 24 years of age. Ever since I was 10, this was the movie that was in rotation at my house to keep me quiet. I know every line, who done what and how it ends. You never get tired of watching it over and over again!!! Pass this funny humor for ALL ages around!!!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: I finally get to see the trailer!(contains easter-egg hints)
Review: Okay, so the special fetures are limited, and the feature of viewing whichever ending you want is well hidden, but the movie still makes me laugh, even when I've got the whole thing memorized! I love the feature where the disc chooses one ending at random to show you, because that is the best way to watch "CLUE". The trailer contains some deleted scenes which I wish they would have included with the hidden special features menu. (to get there, watch the movie with one ending picked at random, then, when it's back at the menu, go to the trailer and go down. The magnifying glass will light up, and you can watch whichever ending you want.) I give it ten stars.

Rating: 5 stars

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: "It's All Too Shocking"
Review: Clue is a clever whodonit mystery based on the popular board game. As mentioned in prior reviews, it has an all-star cast of actors (Tim Curry, Madeline Khan, Christopher Lloyd, Martin Mull, Leslie Ann Warren), many who play the notable characters from the board game.One of the wonderful things about the DVD is that it features a "random" ending option, in which you see one of the three endings of the film. You can also see all three endings of the movie in succession.

Movies have tried to be funny for the sake of being funny and not come through, but this movie seems to do the exact opposite. This movie is so effective as a comedy-mystery because it doesn't take itself so seriously and doesn't really try to be impressive. Dry, witty humor seeem to be the main menu for many of the characters. Also, the script is loaded with tons of "double" meanings (For instance, a police officer looks around the place and returns to tell Wadsworth that everything is okay and that "America is a free country". Wadworth replies "I didn't know it was THAT free.")

There are many dark comedy jokes in the movie. ("Two corpses. Everything's ok".) As the body count rises, the suspicions mount. The assortment of character personalities and motives are revealed as the plot progresses. Each character has a part of their past that make them a target for blackmail. The suspects continue to change, and individuals become wary of each other as possibly being capable of murder. The air of distrust, the mystery of each crime, and the smart one-liners keep the light-hearted suspense intact.

In my opinion Tim Curry, in the role of Wadsworth, absolutely steals the show. He is the prototypical butler, with his snooty way of speaking and his clever remarks to others. He has a way of setting the mood of the movie and giving it a fast-paced and witty tone. His deductions are clever and humorous ("Don't you remember your fatal mistake? ....and monkey's brains, though popular in Cantonese cuisine, are not often to be found in Washington, D.C") , and he pretty much takes over the last part of the film.

Clue is also a relatively tame comedy and mystery. It has a few suggestive scenes, but really can be viewed by younger teens and up. I suggest that if you haven't seen this movie to give it a shot....err...try.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: The funniest "whodunnit" ever!
Review: The people of this world are divided into two, and only two, categories: Those who love the movie "Clue" and those who don't. Luckily, I am one who does love this movie. And as other "Clue" fans can tell you, we know almost every line to this movie by heart and yet each time we see it we laugh ourselves silly.

Where many movies fail because they try to hard to get the laugh, "Clue" manages to make it work. This helped by a very talented and funny cast, including the late Madeline Kahn, Tim Curry, Martin Mull, Eileen Brennan, and more. Half of the jokes in this movie are forced on us, and yet we don't mind.

Set in the 1950s, our familiar "Clue" citizens have all gathered for dinner at the request of an anonymous host. It seems that they are all being blackmailed (it's a blast watching them all get exposed, except for Mr. Green who decides to expose himeself). The unknown host hopes that by bringing these people all together will break the silence needed for blackmail and end their suffering. Oh, if plots in the movies only went to smoothly.

Unfortunately, before the police arrive to collect the blackmail evidence, someone is murdered. And thus, our "Clue" compatriots are off and running, trying to find the killer without being killed themselves. By the time it's over with, 6 people will have been killed (and 1 of them will have been killed twice....... what a drag).

When the movie originally played in theaters, there were three different endings that could be viewed depending on which theater you went to. Each ending works with what has been shown (if you don't believe me, watch the movie again). The original VHS version combined all three endings into one triology ending. The new DVD version, though void of most extras, gives you the option to play the triology ending or let the DVD randomly pick one of the three endings to play. For "Clue" fans, this is more than enough to satisfy us.

So what are you sitting there for? There are murders to be solved! So was it Col. Mustard in the kitchen with the candlestick? Or maybe it was Mrs. White in the dining room with the knife. Or maybe........ :)
