Clue (1985)

All Critics (24) | Top Critics (4) | Fresh (15) | Rotten (6) | DVD (9)

Only Lesley Ann Warren, as a tough-talking madam, finds an effective level of stylization, using her leggy physique and wildly expressive features to create a cartoonish figure that's funny within its own boundaries.

The board game is a lot more fun.

the endings are almost intended to be seen sequentially, and they are the funniest when viewed in that manner

Curry steals the show in this fun and frantic comedy.

Like a well-oiled machine, "Clue" uses slapstick and situational humor to tell a rather pointed story.

Frenetic, silly, but not as bad as is often claimed.

As a game and as a movie, Clue is fun.

Honestly, it was much, much funnier than it had any right to be.

Shadows on the Wall

• 1. Col. Mustard: How many husbands have you had?
  2. Mrs. White: Mine or other women's?
  3. Col. Mustard: Yours.
  4. Mrs. White: Five.
  5. Col. Mustard: Five?
  6. Mrs. White: Yes, just the five. Husbands should be like Kleenex: soft, strong and disposable.
  7. Col. Mustard: You lure men to their deaths like a spider with flies.
  8. Mrs. White: Flies are where men are most vulnerable.
  9. Col. Mustard: Right!

• 1. Col. Mustard: This is war, Peacock. Casualties are inevitable. You can not make an omelet without breaking eggs, every cook will tell you that.
  2. Mrs. Peacock: But look what happened to the cook!

  4. Mrs. White: He wasn't a very good illusionist.

• 1. Mrs. White: Well, it's a matter of life after death. Now that he's dead, I have a life.
