Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Absolutely the worst movie.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

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.

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

There's a mystery afoot and only one team of crack private detectives can solve it. Comprised of Jason: the master of disguise, Duncan: the boy genius and Charlie: the strongest boy in the world, the Mystery Team are ready to solve any crime big or small. All while contending with the reality of no longer being ten.During childhood, Jason, Duncan and Charlie spent their summer days solving crimes around the neighborhood mostly ranging from the nabbing of baseball cards to stealing a taste of windowsill pie. Now on the verge of graduating high school, the plucky trio's antics have become stale and out of place with a world that's leaving them behind. Things change however when they are hired by a bereaved little girl to solve the murder of her parents.All three leads (Donald Glover, D.C. Pierson and Dominic Dierkes) deserve praise for their energetic portrayals and innate sense of comic timing. D.C. Pierson makes the character Duncan an amiable mix of Mandark from "Dexter's Lab" and "Napoleon Dynamite" while Dominic Dierkes's Charlie channels a young Steve Carell from "Ron Burgundy." Donald Glover however manages to steal the show and most of its running time filling the screen with aw-schucks bravado. Though he may sometimes be a nuisance, Glover's staunch determination pulls the ensemble together and sets the movie slightly above its one joke premise.The jokes come at the screen in rapid fire precession, delivered with a breezy staccato that can go toe-to-toe with some of the best SNL skits. Its funny that the idea of a satirical take on Encyclopedia Brown hasn't occurred to anyone before. Anyone who has read kiddie mystery novels knows this kind of naivety is ripe for parody.Director Dan Eckman, manages to balance the humor very well though theirs much to be said about his pedestrian camera-work. Its when the movie gets a little more serious as the mystery comes to its predictable climax, the directors freshman colors start to show. One particular scene near the end the movie seems to veer off base in more than one way and goes on a tangent on maturity and friendship. What follows is a textbook example of character development that could have been beneficial if not treated as trite filler. Eckerman however is a first time director so one can hope his next project will give him the opportunity to unleash the imagination that seems a little constrained here.Ultimately "Mystery Team" may not be downright hilarious to some, but it does have a goofy tone and caustic subversiveness that I personally enjoy. The jokes come fast and loose, the acting is well done and the movie works on most levels while running a spriteful 94 minutes. Check it out if you can.http://theyservepopcorninhell.blogspot.com/

*Contains Spoilers*When one hears of a film with completely unrecognizable actors and an unreasonable plot, we usually tend to ignore the project. But this had something different to offer.Basically it is a story very similar to the scooby-doo cartoons (not the film). There are 3 nerdy looking guys who vow to solve any mystery that comes their way. Their projects are very silly and childish and their tip is usually from an even dumber member of the cast.Their mundane lifestyle is changed with a murder taking place in the neighbourhood. It allows them to go on a "scintillating" adventure which ultimately ends with the perpetrators getting caught in what can only be described as a weird circumstance.This is very much an episode of Scoobe-Doo without the ghosts and Scooby. It manages to capture the aura of the cartoon with the quirky laughters and the paradox involved (something the scooby doo movie failed to do I must add) and perhaps that is what elevated this from an average to a step higher.Verdict: Will make you go back to days of Scooby and the mystery machine and must be watched if one wants to go there.

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.
