Movie Review: Mystery Team



Mystery Team is an independent film written and produced by the creative minds behind the sketch comedy group Derreck Comedy. The story follows three high school seniors who part time as kid detectives in the style of encyclopedia brown. In "The Mystery Team" once respected child detectives struggle to gain respect in the adult world while still sticking to their innocent childhood ways.

After being requisitioned by an eight year old girl to solve the murder of her parents the team is thrown head first into one dangerous situation after another, their oblivious nature making for a series of laugh out loud encounters with the criminal world.

Donald Glover, the story's "Master of Disguise" steals the show with a hilarious performance. Every scene with Glover in it left me laughing harder then the previous one.

Mystery Team is an oddball comedy that is extremely well written, acted, and shot and is a must see for anyone in the mood to laugh.
5/5
