Above: An exclusive look at one of the Mystery Team Comic Con Trading Cards
One of my favorite films from this past Sundance Film Festival was a little laugher called Mystery Team, from those awesomely ridiculous nutjobs at DERRICK Comedy. In a nutshell, my one-sentence pitch for the comedy went something like this: "It's Encyclopedia Brown meets Napoleon Dynamite with a pinch of Ace Ventura ... and it's hilarious." Now, as Mystery Team gears up for a fall release, the dudes (and dudette) from DERRICK Comedy are bringing their movie to Comic Con for an exclusive screening that's, like, totally undercover and hard to get into and you have to know a guy who knows a guy who went to school with a girl who watched Ferris pass out at 31 flavors last night. You get the idea ...
Of course your friends at Cinematical are here to hook you up on the down-low -- and we've got a whopping 12 single tickets for the Comic Con screening of Mystery Team to give away. The screening will take place on Thursday night (July 23rd) at 8pm and you will need to be in the immediate San Diego area on that night in order to win these tickets, so do not leave a comment on this post if you will not be in San Diego on the day of the screening. You will also be responsible for getting yourself to and from the screening because, well, we ain't no taxi service!
To enter, leave a comment telling us why you want to attend the Comic Con screening of Mystery Team. Check out the official rules for this contest -- as well as the brand new trailer for Mystery Team -- after the jump ... and good luck!

I should see this movie because I have peed ALL KINDS of jewelry into seedy toilets and not ONCE has a rag-tag team of 20-something junior detectives collected my family jewels, cleaned em' up, and offered them to young ladies as presents. Not once.

Please! I drag my poor girlfriend to Comic con every year and she would love this movie! Plus I missed it in Sundance and my programmer friends said it was HILARIOUS! (Plus the trailer rocks, how many more reasons must I give??)

Derrick Comedy's first foray into feature territory is guaranteed to be epic. Besides I always need another reason to get the hell out of la. :)

Well, I'll be at Comic Con, barely managing to find a place to stay the night. My friend will be bald and blue as Dr. Manhattan, probably messing up my car with his makeup. I've watched the trailers multiple times now and the movie looks hilarious. Its always cool to win tings, so why not something that I'm interested in.

I neeeeeed this ticket because I didn't get to see it at Sundance and I've been excited about it since I saw the first trailer. Plus...I'll sob, lay down on the floor, and hold my breath if you don't give me a ticket.

I would love to get to see this film. I was a huge fan of Encyclopedia Brown growing up and this sounds like it will be a great comedy with a little suspense thrown in!

I live in San Diego, and this is the closest I would get to Comic-Con this year. I didn't realize tickets were on sale for Con until it was too late, and it was sold out. I heard about Mystery Team when it played at Sundance and thought it sounded funny. The trailers have certainly proven that to be true.
