Here is the murderously funny movie based on the world-famous Clue board game. And now, with this special DVD version, you can see all 3 surprise endings! Was it Colonel Mustard in the study with a gun? Miss Scarlet in the billiard room with the rope? Or was it Wadsworth the butler? Meet all the notorious suspects and discover all their foul play things. You’ll love their dastardly doings as the bodies and the laughs pile up before your eyes.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. –Tom Keogh

Weak attempt at turning the classic board game into a big screen movie. The characters are better defined in the game than they are in the movie which, despite some great talent among the cast, has about the same point as trying to play the game with two people, and about as much fun too.
Avoid at all costs.

Looking over this page at Amazon I am stunned, aghast, and whatever other similar words one can think of over all the rave reviews for this dreadful movie.
Sure, the idea had to of sounded good in the early stages — take a first rate cast (just the notion of putting wonderful comic actresses such as Eileen Brennan and Madeline Kahn in the same movie is pure genius) and put them in a parody of a murder mystery. Should work wonders right?
Think again. Somebody forgot to give these actors a decent script as they spend approximately an hour and a half doing little but running around a big mansion screaming like hyperactive kids on one massive sugar rush, and trying desperately to get laughs out of tired old slapstick routines. It also becomes apparent very quickly that since the characters in this roadkill of a movie are taken after the characters of the board came on which the movie is based that there was no need to write them in any memorable way. Their being cardboard characters in the game seemed to be enough reason to make them cardboard characters in the movie.
Despite the fact that each and every one of them is utterly wasted, the cast alone MIGHT be enough to maybe, charitably, give this movie two stars, but SOMEBODY has to make an effort to get this average rating back down to earth where it belongs.

I have no idea how this movie can be rated so high here at Amazon.
I bought this movie because of these rave reviews here, but I am upset that I bought it and wasted my 10 dollars. What a shame !!
The movie starts out fine. Cast includes some famous actors and actresses with big breasts. Before some narrative can be constructed, the movie blurts out all the details about the murders, and it ends. I was totally unprepared for such an abrupt and strange ending, and it left some sour taste in my mouth. I felt like I was conned.
Don’t buy this DVD even if you are a big fan of the board game ‘Clue’.

I was really looking forward to watching this movie because I love the Clue books and game, but I was really disappointed. Why? Because Mr. Boddy was evil,the charactors were one dimensional, and the jokes were stupid.You could hardly tell Mr. Green from Professor Plum.NONE of the charactors wore their own color,so you kept forgeting who was who.Mrs. “White” was wearing BLACK! Even her hair was jet black! While the multiple endings were intriguing, none of them were very good.As far as I’m concerned, only one thing was funny,and it wasn’t very funny.
