To be fair, in my "I love Tim Curry" phase, I did watch Clue more times than I am willing to count. It is possible to make a fun and tongue-in-cheek film from a board game. :D But I suppose they *knew* they were making a film that parodied itself.

I don't think Liam Neeson is copying Nicolas Cage. I think he's copying Sean Connery. ;)
