Bad Movies We Love: 17 Again

I have disturbing news about those countless movies in which pairs of characters switch bodies and walk two moons in each others’ Reeboks: They’re often good! Seriously. From Big and Vice Versa to the Lindsay Lohan Freaky Friday remake and the Katherine Heigl TV movie Wish Upon a Star , the switcheroo trope is a proven success model.

Now, here’s what makes Clue different than other board games — at least in my eyes: It rules , and those properties don’t. In order to protect the valor of Clue , Movieline is offering three ways for the film to retain the sinister cool of its original film and game(s). Frankly, Miss Scarlet, we give a damn.
