“It’s when I’m talking with McKean, however, that I understand that the answers I have been searching for are no farther than my own geeky childhood. By way of asking him why the movie has become such a hit, I describe that fateful summer evening when my pre-pubescent friends and I discovered Clue. McKean fixes me with a knowing look. “I have a theory,” he says. “It’s a movie that is about adult stuff, but you don’t need a lot of hands-on experience to know what they’re talking about. It’s about murder and sex and blackmail, but you don’t really get your hands dirty because it’s so silly. It’s almost like the characters in it were based on characters in a game. Oh, wait a minute!””
