Overview

With its tongue firmly in cheek, this take-off on the popular detection board game offers three different endings to its viewing audience (all great). The verbose Mr. Wadsworth (Tim Curry) has invited a select group of six wildly disparate guests to his mansion on a stormy night. They are given pseudonyms -- (Eileen Brennan) is Mrs. Peacock, (Madeline Kahn) is Mrs. White, (Martin Mull) is Colonel Mustard, and (Lesley Ann Warren), (Michael McKean), and (Christopher Lloyd) round out the list as Miss Scarlet, Mr. Green, and Professor Plum. As Colonel Mustard and Wadsworth tangle up the art of conversation, murder punctuates the evening and mystery comes in with the storm.

7 Ideas for Your Book-Themed Halloween Party

Here’s my idea of a book-themed party: everybody brings a novel. We read in front of a roaring fire while it’s raining outside. Nobody talks. Nobody dog-ears any pages. There’s food, maybe. What else do people like? Dancing? We can have that, but silently. Everyone’s gone by 9:15. I assume they had a blast. But since that […]

An A-list cast makes this B-quality premise work, but none of it would hold together if writer/director Jonathan Lynn and his co-writer John Landis hadn't taken the board game Clue as a mere jumping-off point for over-the-top satire. Clue the film takes broad aim at every thriller convention -- and every hypocrisy of mid-century America, from boozed-up senator's wives and illicit sexuality to Cold War profiteers and the secret life of J. Edgar Hoover. Tim Curry, Martin Mull, Lesley Ann Warren, and Madeline Kahn are only the most notable names in a cast whose comic credentials could float a project with far more prestige than this one. They all prove game, however, especially Warren as the slatternly Miss Scarlet and Kahn as the frequently apoplectic Mrs. White. With improbable plot twists, slapstick suspense, obnoxious puns, and haunted-house set pieces -- the filmmakers employ anything they can to get the audience laughing. Although such a kitchen-sink approach has been used in films from Airplane to Scary Movie, it's rarely been employed as effectively as this.
