Clue: Stupid joke whodunit based on the trendy board game of the identical name with all the recognizable characters Mrs. Peacock, Colonel Mustard, Miss Red, et al. assembled for a murderous day in a Victorian mansion. Everyone tries extremely tough-too tough, as long as the script, by first-time characteristic controller Lynn, is so thin; addle-brained Brennan and puckish butler Curry materialize off best.
