With Joey Silvera in fine form, Bud Lee delivers a humorous send-up regarding the popular board game and its mainstream movie incarnation. Yes, it's time for dialogue like "Col. Bast*rd in the kitchen with the rope".

There's plenty of flashbacks as the seemingly bumbling Joey (styled a lot more like Peter Falk than Daniel Craig) solves a murder. Superstars Chasey Lain and Asia Carrera brighten up the screen, and the dialogue is sharp, including several non sequiturs likely representing improvisation on Silvera's part.

Only drawback is that after a surprise flashback climaxing the movie, the silent denouement footage is poorly done, a lapse by Lee, noted for his craftsmanship.
