Mystery Team 2009 5 out of 10
Mystery Team 2009 5 out of 10
One of the co-hosts of our Podcast
recommended this flick from 2009 that stars a younger Donald Glover. Think the Scooby Doo gang with no dog or girls
and all three of them are basically like the guys from Dumb and Dumber.
The story is basically that this group of
guys created the “Mystery Team” when they were around 7 years old to solve
small crimes around the neighborhood. Unfortunately,
at age 18 they basically are all still stuck in that 7-year-old mindset. They
are still solving these petty crimes like "Who stuck their finger in the pie?" when a murder case falls into their
laps. The movie derives its comedy from
the juxtaposition of these 18-year-old in 7-year-old clothes and naïve demeanor
working on an adult crime that takes them into a world of strippers, drugs and
murder. It had some funny moments -but the potential
of the concept was never really realized.
The film should have been funnier than it was. The Dumb and Dumber style humor was very hit and
miss with some jokes working and others just kind of sitting on the vine.
