- Synopsis
- Undoubtedly the first movie in history to have played in theaters with three different endings (depending on which theater you attended), Clue is a silly whodunit based on the familiar board game featuring Colonel Mustard, Mrs. Peacock, and all the other usual suspects. A broadly comic cast play the sundry suspects gathered in a mansion to solve a murder, knowing that one of their numbers is the culprit. Michael McKean, Eileen Brennan, and Tim Curry are the best of the bunch, and the film is as lightweight an experience as a round of the game itself. Directed by Jonathan Lynn (My Cousin Vinny). The video release contains all three endings.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"'Clue' offers a few big laughs early on followed by a lot of characters running around on a treadmill to nowhere"
-
"Lots of sight gags and one-liners are attempted, but few of them succeed"
-
"Inspired by the Parker Brothers board game of the same name, 'Clue' is more frenetic than funny, more strained than suspenseful or scary."
-
"Professor Plum and others become multi-dimensional personalities with enough wit, neuroses and motives to intrigue even the most adept whodunnit solver."
-
"A frantic, unfunny spoof"
