Clue (1985)

n my opinion it was a great movie with some interesting elements, even though having some plot holes and the ending probably was just too messy and crammed together, but still fun to watch and not your casual movie that is similar to all other ones.

This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Tim Curry at his absolute best! A genuine ensemble cast, twists and turns galore superb comedy/mystery caper with a great ending. My go to film when I'm feeling down.

Board game, theatrical show, TV series and film, Cluedo (later known as Clue in the USA) is something of a social phenomenon. As a film, its success is the machine gunning of throwaway gags and one liners, and spoofing of the McCarthyite era and 1950s idealism which is amusing. Structurally there are some flaws, mainly in the second act when it invoke dispirit due to its less credible characters. However, if you're going to do screwball or farce then you need to do it well. What better cast could you hope for than a bunch of very talented comedy actors who can produce good comic timing without one overshadowing the other. That said, it is a pity one or two of the ensemble didn't produce a little more impressive style because we were left with dear Tim Curry, Leslie Anne Warren and Eileen Brennan to work harder while the plot uncoiled so frenetically. All in all, it is a likable artifact.

I first saw this when I was about 13, and by the time I was 17, I fell in love with Tim Curry. It, of course was the result of this movie. When I saw it for the first time I just thought it was hilarious. Now I watch Clue at least once a day for two reasons: it's a laugh fest, and because Wadsworth is Tim Curry's sexiest character.

Some movies from the eighties have aged poorly (cough The Big Chill Cough). I have to admit that I fully expected this to be one of them. I have good memories of Clue but it had been a few decades and who knows how my memory was selective. Even without the veil of nostalgia Clue is a delight. A slightly campier take on Murder by Death it has a star-studded cast bringing the board game to life. Tim Curry and Madeline Kahn lead the delightful cast with surprisingly entertaining turns by underrated Martin Mull and Colleen Camp.One nice kids today aspect of the film is the realization that the recent trend of turning games such as Ouija and Battleship into movies is hardly a new one. Clue is not just the granddaddy of the genre but is the reigning champ. It is as good as you remember and better than it had to be or should have ever been.
