Who done it?

I got home after a long say of work and decided to throw something on Netflix and enjoy a cold one. I chose the classic film based off the Parker Brother's board game, Clue. I really like this movie and think that as far as a movies based off games go, this one stands out as the best. There is an amalgam and plethora of crappy movies made from board and video games, but I think this one a lot it right. Many other movies based off games try to be dramatic, entertaining, and somehow relate to the initial game. Clue is a comedy above all else, a hilarious movie with a great cast, and a great plot to match.

Unlike a movie like Battleship, Doom, and other crummy films this movie doesn't force a love story or any kind of drama in your face. The characters have personality but not enough that required hours of exposition to introduce them. The jokes are top notch and the movie manages to stay very close to the board game. All of the weapons, rooms, and the mystery of the killers identity are present. But they are worked into the story well and don't feel too forced, much like in Battleship and Doom. Also the multiple endings is one of my favorite thing's ever. I wish so many other movies took after this and did multiple endings.
