Review – Clue

The original trick when this movie was in theaters was that there were three separate endings, so if you wanted to see all three of them you had to pay to get in three times (usually in three different locations, unless you went to a fairly good-sized multiplex). Video renters have it a little easier, because all three endings are included on one tape. This work also enjoys the rare distinction of being one of the few films ever based on a board game. I suppose that would have put the Academy at quite a quandary trying to decide between a best original and best adapted screenplay Oscar; fortunately, there wasn’t much danger of the issue arising. It’s a humorous little bit of fluff with an impressive cast of character actors, but not much more. Mildly amusing
