Clue: The Movie (1985)

The actors are about as animated and have as much personality as the boardgame's character cards and it disconcerts that they are not the colours they are supposed to be — Mrs Peacock has feathers but is brown and Mrs White isn't the cook but a black-clad Goth — and the stage sets very wearily, like at the start of a board game when noone is sure of the rules, but stick with the carry-on because there are some laughs to be had towards the end as the initially easily shocked troupe grows increasingly unfazed by all the murders happening around them while Tim Curry grows increasingly irreverent as Wadsworth the butler of the Cluedo mansion.
