    You will never get this time back

    This movie was so bad, I was angry that I wasted money to see it on pay per view and, worse yet, that I wasted time I will never get back again. Director "Disco" Dave DeCoteau apparently started working in craft service and as a dj at wrap parties. He is now known for stupid low- budget schlock and hack movies, but after this mess, he should seriously think about going back to craft service.

    After all the hack movies he has directed, I cannot believe he would ever let this be released with sound worse than most web videos done by some nobody in their mother's basement. Maybe he feels this adds to the "camp" of the movie, but it is just BAD.

    Speaking of bad, Rae Dawn Chong was brilliant as an actor in this film. Lest you think I am kidding, trust me ... she is an acting gem amongst all the other actors. When Rae Dawn Chong is the best actor by far in your film, it is seriously time to change careers.

    Glancing through the credits to see some of the names responsible for this mess, I see most of them have chosen not to be listed on IMDb for this film. Smart.

    Malarkey but fun

    This isn't scary nor much of a mystery. But if you want lame zingers and catty dialogue, then this is your movie. Trite plotting, borderline lame acting, and yet all it was missing was Marla Gibbs. Not for everyone but fun if you like this type of drivel.

    A honest comedy worth the shot

    This was one heck of a good movie, with some awkward moments due to the fault of editing. Overall the acting was sound, the humor was fast and mixed with great chemistry. Some parts of the dialogue the jokes can become overly excessive, more like back to back, to back to back (you get my point). The production cost was kind of low budget for such an awesome cast of stars. I loved the Clue plot with a Scream twist, and I love the comedic genius of Debra Wilson and Rae Chong, plus I was delighted by Anne Marie Johnsons acting and humor. One person stood out above the rest, and it wasn't for his comedic approach, but just his stage presence, Preston Davis held a powerful aura each time on camera, I had loved to have seen his character utilized more in the storyline to draw on the plot of "who did it". I could had guess anyone for the killer accept for Preston. He was just too wholesome and positive. The beginning of the movie is worth skipping, Omarosa is stunning and brilliant, but didn't play her part convincingly well. I love Jackee, but also felt that her role was underutilized, out of all the cast, her could had added the clever zingers and punch lines with effortless flare, but sadly the director kept her character one dimensional. I will give this movie a 6 out of 10 stars simply because it was a surprise comedy, I wasn't expecting to have been as entertained as I was. I hope to see more movies like this, but let's increase the budget a tad bit more.
