Saw this movie tonight with a few friends. I thought it would be good — I didn’t know it would be perfect. Literally, this might be the most perfect movie I’ve ever seen. The comedy was on point - the perfect combination of random, plot-driven, vulgar, and farcical. There was actually a real plot, with suspense, turns of fate, and hero moments. And beyond objective perfection, it was subjectively perfect: I love the movie Clue, and figured from reading the Brattle’s description that this would be a combination of Clue and Encyclopedia Brown. It was. And some.
If you want a perfect comedy that doesn’t miss a beat, see Mystery Team at the Brattle - playing tomorrow only, Thursday the 4th, at 5, 7:30, and 10.
