"If life was fair, I would have gotten a new bike for my birthday instead of that stupid car!" Oh, what to say about Mystery Team? The best way to sum it up would be to say that it's like Encyclopedia Brown, The Hardy Boys, or "Scooby-Doo," but for adults. Basic premise is that three childish teenagers (I think they're just about to graduate from high school) have been running a detective agency since they were little kids. Back then, everyone thought it was cute. Now, they just think it's stupid. They'll take on any case for a nickel, they don't swear, drive, do drugs, etc., ride their bikes everywhere, and drink chocolate milk. Anyways, one day a little girl comes to them and asks them to solve a mystery. Turns out, her parents were MURDERED. The team decides to take on the case, believing that it will give them greater credibility. Although the film relies on a good deal of crude humor, it's still funny. Kids would probably appreciate it even more (although the movie is explicitly for teens and adults). A good watch if you want something decent to occupy your time, but there are better films out there.
Rating: 71/100
