Protraph Lack of good storyline.

GurlyIamBeach Instant Favorite.

Matylda Swan It is a whirlwind of delight --- attractive actors, stunning couture, spectacular sets and outrageous parties.

Zlatica One of the worst ways to make a cult movie is to set out to make a cult movie.

maxco102 One day, I was lucky to find derrick comedy when scrolling through youtube on a boring Sunday afternoon, as I recall. This troupe led the way for many others, since it was the first youtube "channel" with scripted comedy videos. Some of there videos, such as "Bro Rape" and "Jazz Man" are literally hysterical and will have you rolling on the floor spurting with laughter. I don't know why this movie was so underrated, maybe it was due to there limited release in theaters and how it was billed as an "independent" comedy. Nonetheless, the movie is truly hysterical, due to how the dialogue remains sharp and witty through the one and a half hour venture. Also, how oblivious the three main characters toward everything and how situations get progressively worse for them, makes the movie a worthwhile and fun time. If you are at least 14/15 or older or derrick comedy fans, you really don't want to miss out on this great and funny film. If you enjoy the film, which you did :), I will recommend Donald Glover's stand-up show "Weirdo" because his stand up performance had a similar feel to this film. I hope to see more from donald glover and have high expectations for the "Atlanta" series, premiering on FX. You'll have a great time with this very funny film for the great parody and excellent comedic dialogue.

curtis martin I enjoyed the ultra-low budget "Mystery Team" a whole lot, just like I enjoyed the equally low budget comedy "The Foot Fist Way." The concept is a great one--three grown men who used to be a locally famous mystery solving team when they were kids (like Mystery Incorporated or the Hardy Boys) but who never grew out of it. The jokes and the story are funny, but the premise isn't set up early enough in the story. It seems to me like a whole opening segment is missing--one that showed the Mystery Team as children solving at least one kiddie mystery and becoming famous for it. The refer to this history quite frequently, but it's never explicitly shown or explained. If you didn't already know (by reading a synopsis or the box) then you might be a bit lost the first half hour or so. But still, a pretty amazing job for a zero-budget comedy.UPDATE: I just watched the DVD with the commentary and learned that just such an opening sequence as I described above was filmed--one that showed the Mystery Team as kids, wearing the same clothes and everything. The Derrik people explained that "it just didn't work." Now I'm even more disappointed! It's even worse that this CRUCIAL SEQUENCE did indeed exist, and they actually edited it out! That's right--they purposely edited out the set-up to the high-concept joke that is the basis for the entire story! It's tantamount to editing out the first 30 minutes of "Austin Powers: International Man of Mystery" because you don't think it's all that important to show the audience that he was a wacky guy who time traveled from the sixties. (he's still funny, right?)Mystery Team would have made TWICE as much money ($10k?) if they had included the set up to their hour and a half joke. Coulda been a "10" instead of a "7." What an f up!

kkoewokikasete Thirty seconds into Mystery Team, I was already laughing. And it stayed that good throughout the movie.This is like their sketch comedy, but in my opinion, better. The jokes are hilarious and constant, the plot pretty good although it's mostly a backdrop for the humour, and I thought every actor in this was great. The Derrick boys, your three main characters, are masters of facial expression. Donald Glover did the soundtrack too, which is a definite plus.If you want an idea what the movie's like, look up "Mystery Team Adventures: The Case of the Haunted Hotel" on youtube. It's a 5 minute short with the same characters.I cannot understand how this movie has such a low rating. I just can't. I made an IMDb account just to rate it 10 stars. Watch it!

DamnYouGoogle Derrick Comedy are on the brink of being the next comedy wave...hell in a lot of ways they already are with their shorts. Every other person involved with DC seems to be getting big time roles in major TV shows like Community to The Office...but we aren't reviewing their worth to the comedy scene as a whole we are reviewing their debut feature length film, Mystery Team.There is a lot of promise in this movie, and some heartfelt laughs, but it might have been a tad to much for DC to handle with such little funds (as far as movies go) and lack of SCREEN WRITING experience and as the movie goes on the weaknesses turn from paper cuts to gaping wounds. DC tend to fall into a rut where they cant think of a funny situation to throw in the movie with the premise given so they throw in some misplaced fart, or rape, or poop jokes, and that coupled with weak acting leads to disastrous gaps in comedy. The performances of the stronger actors in the film like Donald Glover, and Aubrey Plaza (Who from what I know isn't affiliated with DC outside this movie) seem pulled down by their weaker counterparts, and one can only a assume a few more shorts and a drama class or two couldn't have hurt them in preparation for such a major project.Mystery Team does have to be taken with a grain of salt though. The movie is far from void of laughs, and at the end of the day it was 3 guys making a movie they envisioned and even though they I'm sure they'll even admit it was harder then they expected, it seems like they had a hell of a good time doing it.On some lesser but still major faults Donald Glovers score is horrible, and the screenplay in itself has some serious drags in it, I know I keep bringing it up but people should know how important it is to keep a comedy going, moving and moving if there isn't A situation a joke could be going into, there should be plot development not just hit or miss one liners, that in this case often miss.Im excited for the future of every main character in this movie....but as for Mystery Team as a whole a have to call it a lackluster movie with a heavy dose of one shot laughs.
