Overview
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.
In a way it’s a shame that this cast was wasted on this movie. Sure, it’s an easy enough watch – despite the subject matter it’s light and breezy and only ninety minutes long. I don’t think the great Madeline Kahn did anything more than grunt or frown up until the last couple of scenes. The premise was actually pretty decent (they had to figure out why all of the guests were there) and the delivery was ok (Curry is excellent) but it forgotten even before the credits finished.
