Available now — press play and find out why people keep recommending it.

Part of the current wave of titles people are actually watching, Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins earns its spot. Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins does what great comedies rarely manage — it is actually funny, consistently, across the whole run. Unjustly accused of staging a spooky practical joke complete with ghosts, Daphne, Velma, Fred and Shaggy are suspended from Coolsville High. To clear their names, they team up to solve the supernatural mystery…and head straight into nonstop laughs and adventure. Nick Palatas and Hayley Kiyoko lead a cast that brings real weight to the material. It was released in 2009. The real test of any comedy is whether it is still funny once you know all the jokes, and Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins holds up on rewatch in a way that separates it from one-off curiosities. It knows exactly what it is, and does not try to be anything else.

Comedy fans looking for a reliably funny watch will find it in Scooby-Doo! The Mystery Begins. It stands on its own even without an obvious comparison point. The complete film is available and best experienced without too much prior knowledge of where it goes. Nick Palatas sets the tone, but the supporting cast is where a lot of the best moments come from. A reliable pick for any night you want quality comedy without the homework.
