\"\"Clue<\/em><\/strong> is one of those comedies that have stood the test of time. The actors are so funny and perfectly cast for their respective roles and despite being based on a board game, and as inane\/forced as the plot is, it\u2019s reasonably mysterious to go along with the comedy.<\/p>\n

THE MOVIE \u2014 3\u00be\/5<\/span><\/h3>\n
\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n

\n

Plot Synopsis:<\/strong> We open in the year 1954 at a secluded New England mansion where six strangers, using pseudonyms, meet for a night of dinner, idle chatter, blackmail and, of course, murder. The host for the night is butler Wadsworth (TIM CURRY) and the guests include Mrs. Peacock (EILEEN BRENNAN), Mrs. White (MADELINE KAHN), Professor Plum (CHRISTOPHER LLOYD), Mr. Green (MICHAEL MCKEAN), Colonel Mustard (MARTIN MULL) and Miss Scarlet (LESLEY ANN WARREN) and are joined by the sexy\/well endowed maid, Yvette (COLLEEN CAMP).<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

While at first these six seem to have little in common but soon discover they are connected. The first is they each live or at least work in the Washington D.C. area and the second is that they each are being blackmailed by the same person, one Mr. Boddy (LEE VING). And there are connections between certain characters which are unveiled throughout the movie but as the bodies pile up, who is behind it all?<\/p>\n

Quick Hit Review:<\/strong> I had seen Clue<\/em><\/strong> several years ago, probably back somewhere in the mid-90s, and as a kid I didn\u2019t really \u201cget\u201d the comedy but seeing it again, I found it quite funny and it never lets up. Despite the silly premise and really lame way of introducing the murder weapons but in all the silliness, it all works thanks to the comedic timing of the entire cast… and having a sexy maid played by Colleen Camp doesn\u2019t hurt matters.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

If for whatever reason you have yet to see Clue<\/em><\/strong>, this is the right time to do so. It\u2019s an incredibly funny crime-comedy and one of the few successful adaptations amongst so many others which have fallen flat.<\/p>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
