Globe and Mail

Butt is a decent word-spinner and self-deprecating funny man, but the decision to have the rest of the cast play it straight is a mistake; it's as if he plugged his performance into a weak Law and Order episode.

Rated: 1.5/4

Brent Butt's Corner Gas brand of humour has plenty of loyal fans and if you enjoy his wry and self-effacing shtick, you'll find No Clue to be an inconsequential but pleasant diversion.

Rated: 3/4

An amiable attempt at mixing and matching film noir and gags, but feels more like a Halloween episode of Corner Gas where "Hank" Yarbo mysteriously disappears after a wild weekend in Carrot River, Saskatchewan.

Rated: 2.5/5

Although it's a relatively low-budget indie flick, I'd rate "No Clue" among my top three film noir/P.I. spoofs-right up there with "The Cheap Detective" (1978) and "Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid" (1982).

Rated: 7/10

Butt is, it becomes increasingly clear, simply not funny in the slightest...

If [Butt] could make the serious bits feel bigger, as opposed to just windrow dressing to his jokes, he'd have a parody worth really taking seriously.

Anybody who gives this less than 5-Stars is trying to be a film aficionado "wanna-be…" I stumbled across "Corner Gas" about two years ago; I live in Florida so Canadian shows take a while to trickle down, LoL. I immediately became a big Brent Butt fan. He has clean and witty humor that is more intellectual than foolish, like I see so much of today. I looked up other films or shows he starred in and found "No Clue." I have watched it twice now. I put it up there with "Tommy Boy" and "Ace Ventura." The story-line is actually complex and would have made a great crime-drama, also. The acting was great, the humor was spot on, and the flow of the film was perfect. I really wish there was a sequel to this film. I enjoy good comedy that is not over-the-top. Brent, if you ever read this know you are one of the best who understands true humor!

Rated 5 out of 5 stars

Brent Butt (Corner Gas) does his usual schtick here, and it is funnier than I thought it would be. He does his everyman schlub Seinfeld thing against a noir crime thriller, and the juxtaposition is absurd enough for a bunch of laughs. It is less of a movie as an extended stand up routine. I have to say, I fell asleep at the end, but it wasn't the movie, it was super late.

A good Brent Butt / Canadian humour! If you liked Corner Gas, you'll get the same chuckles in this dumb fun comedy.

Just watched, and loved it. Always knew Brent has great movie script abilities, this movie proves it and I'd love to see many sequels or/and a tv series of his private eye.

At first I wondered if this was a pilot for a movie. I enjoyed the characters, the Butty-esque humour, and the light-hearted plot.
