Intcatinfo A Masterpiece!
Adeel Hail Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.
Lidia Draper Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.
Andrew Slater This movie is one of the best comedies I've seen in a while. My friends showed me Childish Gambino then told me about this movie. I watched it and I loved it, I loved it so much I had to buy a copy afterward to show my friends. They loved it too. But enough with my story. The movie is mostly done with stupid comedy that mostly teens and young adults from high school to college will love. Adults will like its clever comedy witch they balance out though the film perfectly. I recommend this movie to anyone having a movie night, or just want to watch a funny movie with their friends. The only thing about this film I didn't like is that it does have a few slow points but it makes up for it with the hilarious scenes. Check it out!
MartinHafer This is a frustrating movie. That's because the idea for "Mystery Team" is great--three junior crime fighters (much like Encyclopedia Brown or the Hardy Boys) are getting a bit too old for such childish adventures. But, the film often delves into VERY adult territory--material that is bound to unnecessarily alienate and offend many.The film begins with three VERY nerdy friends talking about, what else, solving crimes. However, there really are no mysteries about--and they mostly just harass a poor neighbor on life support. At school, the three are either ignored or beaten up, as they don't even come close to fitting in with other high school seniors. However, eventually one of their totally unimportant mysteries actually leads to a very serious and deadly crime...MURDER! Along the way, they visit strip joints, go to wild parties and nearly get themselves killed--which is very tough for three guys who make Steve Urkel and Screech look like a sophisticated men of the world! The film has many funny moments and I loved the idea of 18 year-olds who act like precious 10 year-olds from 1960. The fish out of water aspect is very enjoyable. But, again and again, the film chooses jokes about erections, nudity, bestiality and other stuff that becomes tiresome. It's a shame, as a more literate script would have made a TERRIFIC film. As is, it's a guilty pleasure you should watch well after you put your kids to bed!! a bit crude sort of like Encyclopedia Brown
random999 The gist of the movie is explained plenty in reviews before this one so I won't get into it. Instead I just wanted to throw in my two cents in an effort to help guide other IMDb visitors.I picked up Mystery Team with a "free movie" coupon but I still feel like to wasted gas running out to pick it up. I made it through the first 20 minutes or so but man, it's really unwatchable. YouTube-length DERRICK comedy clips are great and I can appreciate the time and effort that go into them. The cast is great, the content is definitely original and they are generally hilarious. But the comedy just didn't translate to a full feature-length flick. Maybe things really picked up in the next hour?
Chickengirl001 man, after the DVD came out the rating here went way down, I don't think many people who saw this movie knew anything about Derrick Comedy or just missed the point of it all together.this isn't a family movie, the R rating should tell you that from the get go. It's a movie about 3 losers who have been solving mysteries since they were kids, but get thrown into reality when they decide to take on the ridiculous case of solving a murder. The three guys from Derrick Comedy are hysterical..every line they say is so silly and ridiculous..and the antics they get into...you'll either be amused by it or totally hate it.Also, this movie is very similar to what you see in Derrick Comedy's skits. That same humor and silliness in the skits is in this movie...you'll either love it or hate it. as a fan of the guys of Derrick Comedy I thought it was hilarious and just enjoyed it for what it was; but I think some people might miss the boat on this one.
