Clue (1985)
★★ — Clue (1985)
Clue is one of the more unusual studio gambles of the mid-1980s: a feature film adapted from the Hasbro board game (known as Cluedo outside North America), directed by Jonathan Lynn, who was at that point best known as co-creator of the British sitcom Yes Minister. Paramount took the concept further by releasing the film in three separate versions across different cinemas, each with a different ending, a gimmick that generated press but confused enough audiences to help tip it towards a modest box office disappointment on its original run. Producer Debra Hill had recent credits on the Halloween films and Escape from New York. The film has since built a considerable cult following, particularly on home video, where all three endings were presented sequentially.
I don't really like the game to be honest. Watched this with my girlfriend who loves it. I didn't really like it at all. I didn't find it funny. It wasn't engaging. It was just not "my" type of movie I suppose.
