Murder By Death
Description
In a story that looks more exciting and fun, where five famous literary detective characters are invited to dinner on a very angry and moving night. Perhaps the moor will turn completely towards another turn where killing seems to be something of an end in the end. Each of the brothers finds himself fighting for himself in a bloody journey.

Far from great.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)

Generally successful send-up of classic mysteries with a lame finale.
June 24, 2006
Director Moore and writer Neil Simon seem to have no real affection for either the characters they plunder mercilessly for laughs, or the locked room puzzle they turn on its head. Introductions over, the film slides downhill.

...pokes fun at every old fictional detective you can think of and every cliché you've ever wanted to red pencil out of a script.

As light and insubstantial as one could wish.

So it all doesn't amount to much, and -- some knuckle-dragging 'he's gay'/'no I'm not' humor aside -- it's more Scooby Doo than Alfred Hitchcock Presents. Still, it's an amusing tea-cozy of a spoof with an enjoyable cast.

Murder by Death is a very good silly-funny Neil Simon satirical comedy, with a super all-star cast cavorting as recognizable pulp fiction detectives gathered at the home of Truman Capote, wealthy hedonist fed up with contrived gumshoe plots.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)

A sometime funny satire on the old murder-mystery detective series of the 1930s and '40s. Some jokes hit, while others just bomb.

If it was funny, I missed it.

Hit & miss mystery spoof hits more often than it misses.

Stunningly unfunny.
October 03, 2007
This spoof of the great fictional-film detectives offers consistently funny scenes.
