Stellar cast, lame movie
2 February 2008
With such a distinguished cast I had reasonable expectations for this one, but on the whole it's just not funny. The jokes involve a blind butler, a deaf maid, racial stereotypes etc. Most of it made me groan rather than laugh.

The main characters are send ups of classic detectives, including Ms. Marples, Chan, Poirot, the hard bitten American PI and an English upper class type. The performances are reasonable as you'd expect from such an ensemble, but the script is poor in the extreme. It's saddening to see such a cast wasted on such drivel.

If you enjoy watching simple send ups being stupid, you might get something out of this, but Clue was better, and that's not saying much. Not recommended.
