Watch Clue For Free

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties. It's a feast for the eyes. But what really makes this dramedy work is the acting.

This movie is really enjoyable and fun. Metacritic is full of it.

Another in my occasional series reappraising films after a couple of decades having not seen it, and alas "Clue" is disaster that not only hasn't stood the test of time, but makes me wonder why I couldn't see it all those years ago. Based on the board game; the film stars Tim Curry as Waddington, the Butler of Mr Boddy. Who gathers several of his masters Blackmail associates together ostensibly to help them understand that they are all in this together and to go to the police. However, when Mr Body comes home and discovers the group, the plans go awry and one of the guests murders him. As the guests attempt to determine which one of them is a murderer, and further bodies start to pile up, hilarity ensures.Except it doesn't. . There are a few weak puns. There are some jokes about a homosexual character that really haven't aged well but mostly there's just lots of running up and down, which I think the makers have confused with humour. It's tiresome both mentally and physically. It doesn't even hold the interest as a murder mystery, as there are no genuine clues that you can gather towards any of the three conclusions. Just stilted dialogue and forced performancesTim Curry is trying his best, I accept, but really wasn't given much to work with. There are some really talented supporting cast members too but all are undone by a witless underbaked script of backstory and nonsense.

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.

To be honest, I did not grow up playing this game. I kinda knew it had characters like Mr. Green and Scarlet, and it was like a detective game, but this kind of stuff never fascinated me. But boy was this movie extremely entertaining.I loved each and every one of the characters. They were all so interesting and funny and I cared a lot about them. I was on the edge of my seat throughout this whole movie wondering who was gonna die next, who was it, and what was gonna happen. Yeah. You can tell how amazingly shocked I was to find the alternate endings. Gosh that shocked me and the fact that the movie got me jumping in the air wondering what the heck just happened deserves recognition.Yeah everyone needs to see this movie. It was very good and very fun to watch. And I totally knew it was the butler ;)Yeah go watch this movie now.
