Movie Reviews of Clue - 3 Different Surprise Endings! - (Widescreen Collection)
Movie Review: Horror, Suspense, Comedy, and Twists
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie did not do so well when it was 1st released, but it eventually gathered a cult following. The story is basically this. Mr. Body's butler Wadsworth (Tim Curry) invites several blackmail victims of Mr. Body to supper in hopes of ending Mr. Body's blackmail scheme. (Curry has a personaly grudge in that he blames the suicide of his wife on Mr. Body.) To make a long story short, Mr. body tries to get Tim Curry killed, but things go wrong and Mr. Body himself is killed. The 6 guests and Tim Curry realize that they have to find out 'who killed Mr. Body, and where, and with what' before the police arrive. The movie is obviously based on the popular board game, but what makes it interesting is that we gradually meet people, weapons, and rooms, we are already familiar with. (And there are some other characters who come in now and then.) For the purpose of finding clues, the group of 8 splits into 4 groups of 2. Some are more reluctant than others, knowing that one of them has to be with the killer, and thus one of them could get killed. (Great suspense!) The Tim Curry / Mrs. White team is especially interesting in that Mrs. White could have murdered her past husbands, and she finds Tim Curry attractive. (Curry may be flattered, but he is understandably nervous: "Mrs. White, no man in his right mind, would be alone with you.") Moving on, the characters all seem to make the best of their roles. (Especially Christopher Lloyd as Professor Plum.) I don't want to ruin the story for those of you who haven't seen it, but I can say that there is a great combination of horror suspense, and even comedy.(Few movies combine these things well.) I think the greatest thing is that sometimes we're not sure whether we are watching a horror or a comedy. Most of you know the movie offers 3 ends. I think the 1st is the most consistent with the story. Tim Curry is probably best known for his role in "The Rocky Horror Picture Show," but if you ask me, this is the better movie. Movie Review: Underated and Overlooked Movie

Having intially picked this movie at a great price, I was very pleasently surprised at the quality of the movie.I was first attracted by wondering what a movie version of Clue could be like. Currently I'm on my second viewing and find it better than the first.Unfortunately, this movie was never as popular as some of the other movies in the same decade .It's a hidden gem from 1985. I love the three endings part. I strongly recommend this film to anyone that is looking for something different than today's comedies. And besides at the price currently offered, it's a real steal. Movie Review: Best movie of all time!!!

Clue is one of those hard to find, impeccably humorous movies that is subtle yet obvious at the same time. The writing and character execution (ha...pun intended) are insanely captivating. Watch this movie or lead a meaningless life.Movie Review: Question?

Summary: 5 Stars
The basic plot of "Clue" is exactly the same as that of the board game of the same name. A group of guests are gathered at an old mansion, one of the guests dies and the remaining guests must solve the murder. That is, who killed Mr Boddy, with what weapon and in which room?
Although the film is written as a mystery (and as a mystery story, it's not a bad one), this is a mystery written and directed by Jonathan Lynn (who also wrote "Yes, Minister" and "Yes, Prime Minister"), so that gives you an idea of what you're getting yourself in for. "Clue" is a very funny movie, starring some very funny people, including Christopher Lloyd, Madeline Kahn and Tim Curry, and it never fails to amaze me that this film is not better known. Nevertheless, every time I meet someone who has seen this film, they usually have the same opinion of it as me.
When "Clue" was released in cinemas, back in 1985, different copies of this film were released with different endings, so the ending that you saw would vary depending on which cinema you went to. On home video (where I first saw this film), all three of these endings were included (yes, that's right, the video had three endings - trust me, it works), and in this DVD version, the viewer is given the choice of either seeing the home video "trilogy" ending or watching the film with a randomly selected ending, as in the cinema.
I saw this film for the first time when I was 10, and then, because I liked it so much, watched it again the following day (something which I have only done about two or three times in my entire life). Over the years, I have seen this film a couple of dozen times, and I can pretty much recite the entire script verbatim, and yet I still find myself watching it again and again. If you haven't seen this film already, you really must. Forget what the AFI say, THIS is what should have made the best American comedies of all time list.
