    Only Lesley Ann Warren, as a tough-talking madam, finds an effective level of stylization, using her leggy physique and wildly expressive features to create a cartoonish figure that's funny within its own boundaries.

    the endings are almost intended to be seen sequentially, and they are the funniest when viewed in that manner

    Like a well-oiled machine, "Clue" uses slapstick and situational humor to tell a rather pointed story.

    Frenetic, silly, but not as bad as is often claimed.

    Honestly, it was much, much funnier than it had any right to be.

    Like a stage farce brought (laboriously) to the screen. An inexhaustible ensemble helps a whole lot.
