"Well, to make a long story short..."
This classic movie is a hysterical portrayal of an old school, murder mystery dinner- starring Tim Curry, Christopher Lloyd, Eileen Brennan, Madeline Kahn, and Martin Mull. Its starts off following a group of guests, who are all mysteriously invited to a house by an anonymous host- all of them are unaware of two things; first that they all are connected in some way, and second, that there is a murderer in the house.
The fast paced witty banter between the guests is the best part of the movie, that and Tim Curry playing the butler. The movie seems to revolve around the butler, Wadsworth and his ability to relate to each of the seemingly wealthy guests, while also revealing to each of them that they are all being blackmailed, and that someone is looking to kill off certain people.
They are constantly pointing the finger back and forth between each other trying to find out who the killer really is. The guests surely don’t trust each other, but soon realize that they are going to need to rely on one another, and the information they are willing to share, in fear of being killed. Just when the pieces start to fall into place, and the frustration between the guests is at an all time high- as you watch, you will be unable to control the intensity of your laughter. The confusion that comes from this movie is not only the question of who the murderer is, but of how absolutely hilarious a movie based around homicide can be. Watch this movie and find out who did it!

I absolutely love this movie. I grew up watching it, and I especially love that there are three different endings, two before you see the real one. I've also played the board game about a million times. Great choice of movie :-)
ReplyDeleteThis is such a good movie! So funny and has some mysteriousness into it. I always watch this on Halloween since I don't like scary movies. :)

ReplyDeleteI used to love this movie when I was younger and it's such a fun game board too. I love that it's a mystery the whole time and it's funny too! A different take on a movie especially with some of the old actors in it.
