Who Done It: The Clue Documentary

This was so lovingly made. Dives DEEP into every aspect of the film we all cherish so much. The physical media release also contains tons of extras. Very happy to have seen this. If you love the film - you must see it.

Great interviews included with every member of the cast still alive and archive videos from those who have passed on. Some great tidbits like Carrie Fischer originally cast as Miss Scarlett and Leslie was cast as Mrs. White.

Goes through how originally the film flopped but caught wind and is now a cult classic.

Fan documentaries are always a treat to me but this one is better than they average one you'll find on YouTube. Highly recommend.

Look, if you LOVE Clue this is a lovely cozy documentary. It's not perfect, but it's very charming. I wish the director had less bits about themselves, and had more polish; but they managed to capture some real gems in honor of the people who made Clue.

I really enjoyed hearing so much from the director, and I loved hearing about who they considered to play the roles originally. I also thought there was good tea about the Hollywood system; and I feel like the director hit every part of what goes into making a movie.

I really love the movie Clue and it's clear the director does as well! Lovely.

This is a well-made and comprehensive look at the cult classic Clue: The Movie (1985) which has been my favorite movie since I was a kid. And they talk about that, calling Clue a "babysitter movie" and how one actor showed it to his own kids on VHS, along with showcasing the younger adults who have elevated Clue from a box office bomb that generated a post-theater following to a real cult film.

It's a good doc but not great, probably because this documentary didn't get made until 2022 since several participants ranging from actors to producers have long since passed away. This production probably should have been made around 2005 and yet there's the longer view and additional information in retrospect that supports the main interviews.

I remember going to the theater with my closest friends to watch Clue. We all agreed that it was a a good movie but we wanted more. We thought it could have been better. The cast was superb.

But, this documentary ...while it does give interesting information about the making of the movie, it was presented in such a boring manner that I quickly find myself falling asleep. The interviews were at times very long and lacking in depth and substance.

Although this documentary was made in 2022, the quality is so low it looks and sounds like it is from the 80's. I understand it might be the director's first project, and yeah...it shows.

I got up to grab a snack and hit pause. When I noticed it wasn't even halfway through, I decided to cut my losses and switch to something else.

The best part of the doc are the interviews from the cast. Unfortunately, they are surface level and way too few for the length of the film. So much time is spent on where we saw the actors before this, the score, the record labels that decades later decided to produce/distrubute the soundtrack, fan reinactments/thoughts, that we never get any detail about what filming was actually like, no behind the scenes footage or stories other than they all loved each other. Weirdly, when they mention that Lee Ving's voice was dubbed in the movie by an uncredited actor no one says why that was - little things like that which could have been more interesting were left out.

Overall too much emphasis on the peripheral and none on the filming of the movie. Of course many of the cast are no longer with us, but others apparently just didn't want to be involved. Overall it was a nice idea but pretty boring, unfortunately.
