Review of Clue

Clue (1985)
1/10
Not Meant for Us
1 November 2015
To me, this "work" appeared as though scriptless, left to a random bunch of actors to adlib as they went - clueless. Their confused attempts at adlibbing their way into some rough sketch of a plot are soon thwarted by the incongruous arrival of a new, scriptless adlibber, (Boddy) looking as though snatched off some rugby field without the chance even for a shower or a shave. What can the struggling others do but quickly adlib his death to get the blatant misfit out of there! But then a new, would-be adlibber/random bumpkin arrives at the door. So what can erupt but more bewilderment among the adlibbers on how to extract him from their still directionless non-plot - or - (here's a big mystery) how to meld another newbie misfit into the chaos.

If stylish, plot less adlibbing through the timeline of a full-length film, through one random obstacle or uninvited intruder after another can amuse you, this is a film you shouldn't miss. We turned it off after about a half-hour. Boredom has limits.
