The breakdown:
This is another 80's classic (I'm in the mood) of a funny mystery based on the popular board game of the same name.

A lot of "strangers" get invited to a mansion for dinner by an absent host.  Once someone arrives (Mr. Boddy) to tell them what's up, he gives each guest a weapon and tells them he is the one blackmailing all of them.  The guests start spilling secrets about each other and murders begin happening off screen.  They all try to work together to find out who the murderer is amongst them.

I went to go see this in the theaters when it came out and the great thing is, it's probably the first movie to show 3 different endings in theaters.  Depending on what theater you went to, determined which ending you saw.  If you buy the dvd or see it on cable, all 3 endings are shown.

This is a great movie if you feel you need some laughs.  Don't miss it.

I give it 4 out of 5 for the comedic genius of it all and the iconic characters.  Tim Curry as the butler is my favorite along with Miss Scarlet (played by Lesley Ann Warren.)
