    I found the humor to be fairly stupid. But the movie is saved by the caliber of the comedic talent involved.

    Classic and crazy, all over the place. Hilarious in a classy way, Tim Curry kills it, great performance.

    Do not quite remember everything that happened during the movie but it was done quite well and I really enjoyed it.

    This mad cap high camp screwball murder mystery is a hoot and a holler. Tim Curry at his finest.

    Also Colleen Camp's cleavage is ridiculous.

    Great cast, hilarious plot! Based on the boardgame Cluedo. Tim Curry is excellent.
  • November 11, 2009
    In my opinion one of the best comedies ever written. Sure it's based off a board game. But who cares. Tim Curry's best comedic performance. Every actor had excellent chemistry with each other. The scenery, fantastic and adds to the comical mystery as possible. My second fav...( read more)orite movie in the world.

    I just made a REALLY hard triva quiz about the movie and am working on a second one. Basically, unless you have seen the movie a good 50 times AT LEAST, it's nearly impossible to get a good score. Think you have what it takes? Go take the quiz!

    Oh how I love this movie...I showed this to my friend and she loved it. Afterwards she was telling me about a dream she had, with me in it, where we were being stalked by a killer in my house (charming, huh?) We found ourselves acting out her dream in a similar fashion to the hilarious Tim Currey! The funniest part is we didn't even realize we were doing it until after. That was exactly after a watching of clue btw :)
