Product: Murder by Death (1976)
Rating: 4.0
Entertaining Parody
The first time I saw this movie was in the theater with my mother. I have watched it several times since then and it can still make me laugh. This is a parody of famous literary detectives invited to dinner to solve a murder. Like other parodies (Scary Movie, Vampires Suck, Etc.) it has its funny moments and it has its cheesy moments and it has its unbelievable moments. Given it is a parody then you should except that for what it is and just enjoy the movie. The movie is comprised of name actors and actresses who do a great job with the material they are given to work with. I recommend this to anyone who enjoys movies like Scary movie or Vampires Suck. Those of you who do not enjoy parody movies probably should pass on watching this one.
