"It's not just a game anymore."
Clue finds six colorful dinner guests gathered at the mansion of their host, Mr. Boddy -- who turns up dead after his secret is exposed: He was blackmailing all of them. With the killer among them, the guests and Boddy's chatty butler must suss out the culprit before the body count rises.
What viewers say
Viewers call this murder-mystery farce a cult classic that still gets laughs, crediting the ensemble cast, the rapid-fire comedy and Tim Curry's turn as the butler. Fans love the multiple endings and the board-game silliness. Criticism is mostly from reviewers who found it uneven, relying on novelty over wit, with some viewers noting a thin plot and, in some screenings, a rough audio mix. It flopped at release and grew its following later.
Best for: Viewers who want a silly, quotable whodunit with a big comic ensemble.
