Clue, from 1985. (An adaptation of the board game, yes.)
It was a total flop when it was released but It has gained a bit of a "cult" status since then. Characters are over the top, it's full of puns and corny jokes but I totally love it. The rhythm at which it delivers jokes is incredible. You'll miss many jokes the first time you see it but it doesn't matter because another one is coming almost immediately.
And it doesn't even feel rushed or fast paced. All of the many characters have a chance to be developed and the fact that the whole thing happens on real time is very interesting. It even has multiple endings which they showed in different theatres when it was first released!
If you like murder mysteries and light comedy this is for you. Go watch if you haven't.
ps- Can I interest you in fruit or dessert?
Those were very entertaining 92 minutes. Thank you for this wonderful suggestion.
No fruit, but I'll help myself to a drink. I know, not the cognac (just in case).
I’m glad you enjoyed it!
