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.

Video is overly compressed, audio sounds like they used a $10 temu microphone, compressed the audio mix, then compressed the whole movie again so they could make it fit on a cheap thumb drive for distribution.
I mean pirated movies shot over someone's shoulder in a theater on a handheld VHS camcorder that you could buy on the street in any major city were more watchable than this. We bailed out after suffering through 10 minutes waiting for it to get better. We were hoping they were doing a schtick and it would jump to a nice smooth & crisp image with clear audio, but if they did that, it happened too late.

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.

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 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.
